Paula T. Webb

Co-founder of the field of "Trading Psychology" along with Mark Douglas - Paula has been a part of the investment, corporate, and faith-based industries since 1980 working for the Vice President of the MidAmerica Commodity Exchange (MidAm) in Chicago which was the nation's first mini-contract futures exchange. Learning how exchanges work from the ground up gave her a unique understanding of the logistics of the markets and world economics, and she went on to further her education in the markets by working on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange trading floor as a phone clerk while learning how to trade her own account. As a day trader Paula learned that the mindset of a trader was unique, not only with regard to the markets, but to each individual trader themselves. She learned this not only through her own experiences on the trading floor, but through countless conversations with her trading buddies, as well as the traders she dated.

She is co-creator of Trading Psychology before founding her own consulting company in 1999, the Institute of Trading Psychology. What she learned from these traders and alongside Mark (co-author and business partner) was that to be prosperous in your work and your relationships, you have to have a "determined" and prosperous mindset - in other words, a mindset of believing in unlimited possibilities for yourself...and believing in yourself to accomplish your goals as a winning warrior trader.

Paula is an award-winning author of numerous books and professional coaching programs on the Psychology of Trading providing empowerment and understanding of what personal achievement is. She collaborated with the other "Guru" of trading psychology, Mark Douglas (co- author of all-time best-selling 'The Disciplined Trader' - 'Keys to Power Profits' and more) since the late-1980s. Paula's books and programs touch upon and help resolve the most important professional, personal and spiritual challenges faced by many today all from a practical and simple skill acquisition perspective. She currently provides workshops and individual coaching to traders, investors, financial institutions, and non-traders alike.
