Mark Douglas' first book, "The Disciplined Trader™" was published in 1990 and is considered an industry classic, and along with "Trading in the Zone™" published in 2000, his books are considered the first books to introduce the investment industry to the concept of trading psychology ~ years before anyone even heard of that concept, much less providing coaching in this - now popular - way of approaching trading.

Mark began coaching traders in 1982, and continued to develop seminar and training programs on trading psychology for the investment industry, as well as for individual traders for decades. He had been a frequent speaker at seminars across the world, as well as in the U.S., teaching traders how to become consistently successful. Mark has received several awards for both of his books and work, including the prestigious "Bull/Bear Award" in 2006, 2008 and 2011, and again in 2015.
