Hi Stu -- Trading psychology certainly plays a significant in the work of a day trader.   Over the past few years, I've posted some articles from Brett Steenbarger, Ph.D.,Trading Psychology Expert and Author.   Profile:  Brett Steenbarger has been actively involved in the financial markets since the late 1970s.  Brett has an interest in using historical patterns in markets to find a trading edge and has created a number of unique measures of market trend, momentum, and institutional activity designed to aid short-term traders.  These measures–and the trading strategies derived from them–have been chronicled daily in his TraderFeed blog.  He is also a regular contributor to Forbes.  He is the author of a number of popular trading performance books, including The Psychology of Trading, Enhancing Trader Performance, The Daily Trading Coach and his new book Trading Psychology 2.0. 

If you enter the search word  'steenbarger' in the top right window of the techtrader website, you'll find a few of those articles.  The link below provides access to all of his articles on trading psychology.
