Best books to learn Trading psychology, in order
Trading psychology books only land after you understand why discipline fails — so a good path starts with how emotions and cognitive biases actually sabotage traders, then moves to building rules and routines, then to the deeper work of process over outcome. Read them alongside real (small) position sizes, because the lessons don't transfer from paper. No mindset book fixes a losing strategy or removes market risk; psychology is the multiplier on an edge, not a substitute for one.
