I think I speak for myself and a lot of traders around the world long live Mark his words not only have direction but also gave a sense of calmness that I otherwise would not have found myself in the markets. I´ve read both his books in the past and recently stumbled across his body of work on YouTube his Wizetrade interview and seminars are a godsend and an instant classic prayers to his family and may he continue to rest in peace his legacy will never be forgotten

It's wild to think about how a man I didn't even know existed when he died when I was a junior in high school, would literally & deeply & fully transformatively change my life for the better almost a full decade after his death. I can't stop rewatching his Wizetrade TV interview & even made a thread on it on Twitter because it was finally what gave me my "aha!" moment & I want nothing more than for everyone interested in trading to experience that too. If that isn't legacy, what is? Thank you so much Paula for continuing the work. Rest in peace to such a kind, helpful, generous soul that still helps so many, so many years later. A gift from God. We love you, Mark. Thank you!

Hello traders! Please understand that Mark did not create our materials alone. I am co-author of The Disciplined Trader, The Complete Trader, and editor for Trading in the Zone. We were created the field of Trading Psychology before there was even a name for it; we were business partners and married for 25+ years. My work continues. paulatwebb.com

Damn, i'm here just like the rest of the comments and it makes me sad to know this guy passed away. His videos and talks are nothing short of a miracle. To be a trader you must never steer from Marks words.

I'm just another trader and admirer of Mr. Douglas's work. I know he passed away over 8 years ago but I felt that I had to visit. I'm currently watching one of his seminars and I'm happy to say that what he practices, I'm doing the same thing. I'm sure this will fall on blind eyes and deaf ears but I just want to let you know that even after his passing, he's still making an impact. I hope he's smiling down on everyone.

I knew Mark only though his book "Trading in the zone". I read this book two times and watched a number of YouTube videos of Mark´s lectures. It was not until later someone told me Mark is no longer with us. That really hit me. I never knew Mark personally, but yet I had made a loose but personal connection with Mark through the legacy of trading he left for all of us to learn from and enjoy for generations to come. I am still saddened to know he has moved on.

It's 2023, I picked up 'Trading in the Zone' as a new trader and thought it was the best book on trading psychology I read. I could sense your sensitivity in your words. Your legacy lives on.

Mark was truly a gift from God, a true educator and teacher. I came across Mark on YouTube after my years of losing money in the stock market. Mark helped me realize what the problem was and how to handle my expectations when dealing with events that have random probabilities. Truly an amazing concept. His gracious words of wisdom are forever embedded in my mind. Rest in power Mark! You have accomplished what you were sent here to do. Your memory and wisdom will live on forever

Mark Douglas and his videos energized me in my stock investing. I am new to investing but old (75)enough to know not to jump into a stock without researching first. When I learned about Mark and his teaching, I was so excited to hear that he talks about probability as part of the process. I loved studying statistics in my undergrad work and I knew that his teaching would be something I could get into. I love the way he taught with such intense love of his subject and his strong desire for everyone to understand what he saying, or in his words "you with me on this?" I was sad to learned that he had passed as I was hoping to someday meet him and show my appreciation for his sharing. Paula, I am happy that you are carrying on your great work. I am now reading "Trading in the Zone". This book, at my side, will always keep Mark with me. Thank you both for your great work. You help many people. God bless you. Wayne Holmes, Milan, TN

I am a newer trader that was making too many mistakes. A friend recommended Trading In the Zone to me. I purchased the audio version last week and have been listening in the car, to and from work. I feel like Mark is speaking directly to me through his words, I noticed improvement right away. I decided to look into Mark a little further and was so saddened to learn he has left us. I am sure that I am one of millions he has helped. RIP sir, and thank you.

I never knew Mark, but I read his book, "Trading in the Zone", and it was truly a life-changing book.

The ideas and principles that he applies to trading can easily be applied to every area of one's life.

Today, I searched his name on Google to see if I could find contact information to send him an email thanking him for sharing his knowledge, but I found this instead, so I guess I will say thank you here.

Thank you, Mark for sharing your knowledge and wisdom with the world!

How I wish I read his books and saw his videos earlier. How I wish I met him once before his passing, shook his hand and said Thank You Mark. You changed my mind, my ability to perceive and trade confidently for consistent profits.

Many thanks

I´m new to trading, and was introduced to the work of this great man. What an impact he´s had! What a legacy he´s left! I would´ve have loved to have attended one of his educational workshops, and to have shaken his hand afterwards. I will continue to read more of his books

Dear Mark Douglas Family, students, and friends IMHO "Trading In the Zone" is by far the "Holy-Grail" for trading successfully. I wished I read his book when I first started my trading journey I also know it wasn't meant to be until it did.I'm so grateful for having the opportunity to take advantage of it Thanks Again !!! "Rip" Mark Ki !! Jaya !!

I used to be a complete disaster in trading area and constantly losing money because of my attitude toward the markets. I was in a lot of pain and in one point I nearly was going to die because of the amount of pressure that i was feeling on my shoulders. but this man was my savior! although I never had the chance to meet him or have direct contact to him to thank him but he is always alive in my heart. by reading his books and watching his seminars and workshops over and over again, I finally got the idea of what it means to be a consistently successful trader. Mark's materials and educations not only helped me in trading area but in other aspect of my life I've became a better person. Mark is and will be the greatest teacher of my life and I owe him a lot, my biggest grief is that I wish I had the chance to meet him. he was defiantly one of the greatest and I always will be thankful of him.
R.I.P dear Mark

I'm shocked to find out that Mark passed. I became a CTA and was given a large allocation in a fund, but was unable to cope with the responsibility of managing public money I was absolutely frozen, unable to pick up the phone to place a trade. Mark turned my trading and my life around. A warm, kind, and wonderful guy

This man helped turn me into a consistently profitable trader. I am forever grateful. Very smart and humble man. Rare indeed.

Hi Mark, I read your books so many times and really appreciated your work & passion to help Traders like myself to be a better Trader (trading well rather than trade right). I did not have the possibility to meet you in person but I would like to send you a hug through this 'Guest Book' page to you.

Rest in piece Mark.

I just finished Trading in the Zone after watching videos of Marks teachings on how to trade consistently, he literally saved my Trading life. I just discovered he had died almost 3 yrs. ago. Imagine he has changed my life and he is not even alive today. He will always be alive as long as someone reads one of his books or watches his videos.

A year has come and gone and still it's a rare day that I don't think of you and the conversations we had. Especially those when you were penning that frustrating last chapter of your final book. The last chapter of life as we knew it. I miss you Mark.

Many Traders owe you so much. More than they will ever know.

You were and are, one of the "Good Guys".

Trading in the Zone made me me a better Trader, but your friendship made me a better man. Thank you for that.

Enjoy the journey...

Mark,

So many people on this planet are better people for having crossed paths with you either in person or via your teachings.

That book that over 10 years ago you inspired me to write, and for which you provided so much advice and guidance, especially on the creative process, will become a published reality next week. Thank you. Your inspiration lives on.

Learning to live here without seeing you walking the street, talking with everyone and keeping us all safe this past year has been hard for all of us. You were everyone's friend.

Mark, I know I can speak directly to you as I know you are here in spirit and are just in a different but better place. As we were the greatest of friends, each time we visited it was as if we still lived next door to each other as kids, even if a day or a year, or even two went by before we talked. Our entire family loves you and I have wonderful memories of things we did together that time or space cannot ever erase. It looks like my Mom will be joining you very soon. So, if you hear someone saying, "Ringo", turn around and look and she will be there. I think of you often and I have a great picture of you and I sitting next to each other at some function on my chest of drawers. As a matter of fact, the accompany picture of you on this site is part of that picture only with you and I both in it. I miss you dearly. Thank you for your friendship and thoughtfulness and all of the things we shared as kids and adults. And check out the accompanying photo - you and I on our bikes about 45 years ago. Seems like yesterday. Your pal, Richard
