Who Are Dr. Paula T. Webb and Mark Douglas?

Ellis Island

Considering their world-renown reputation in the investment industry, it is incredible this page needs to exist. However, it became apparent that the record needs to be set straight.

Dr. Paula and Mark spent decades developing these materials and traveling the globe together teaching traders of all levels how to think like winners – as business partners and married couple. Tens of thousands of traders attending their workshops had no problem paying for services, (also including the millions that have bought and continue to buy our books), because they know they are working with not only the pioneer of trading psychology as Dr. Paula is, but they are also working with the best of the best.

New Year 2000

Dr. Paula and Mark are two successful traders and investors who spent years developing these materials. Through their joint blood, sweat, and efforts they created what continues to be a growing body of work to help you become the best trader you can be. A mission that Dr. Paula continues to this day – not filling Mark’s shoes but sharing deeper insights through materials geared for today’s traders and global market conditions as she has been doing all along.

Make no mistake, if it weren’t for the decades-long collaboration between Dr. Paula and Mark, traders visiting this website would not be where they are right now as a trader, because none of their materials would have ever been written. In the many years of recorded workshops in our warehouse inventory – none of which will ever be on the internet for obvious reasons – Dr. Paula and Mark enjoyed respect and created a reputation that continues to this day in ever-increasing numbers. Some of those materials in those workshops will only be shared in our live “Disciplined Trader” workshops.

This page is not intended to be a discourse about internet piracy or fake AI-generation posts, rather it is to remind all of you that Dr. Paula and Mark worked together to create the Philosophy of Trading Psychology. Mark did not create this genre by himself as so many of you falsely and erroneously post to build your business and monetize yourself using their reputation. Just because traders download the mere three or four pirated videos of Mark they assume he was the only one creating materials – that were the only workshops he did – which shows how little traders understand the materials or who Dr. Paula is, and who Mark was, as co-creators of this field at all.

We will share as Mark asked many times of this industry before he died from a broken heart due to the piracy, how is it that you traders feel it’s okay to download their materials, repost their materials, monetize yourselves and not give a thought that this is theft you have no claim to? Just because someone may find it on the internet doesn’t mean it’s legal and all of you are aware of this, otherwise you would post our website URL which we have asked you to do repeatedly…we never asked you to remove the posts just add our URL.

Dr. Paula and Mark have always been generous sharing their materials – all they ever asked for those posting was to add their website URL which all internet pirates and AI-generation posts refuse to this day. Is a simple website link too much to ask? That is not respect – even though you make great claims to respect Mark or Paula.

None of you who steal from Dr. Paula know who she is nor do you care, none of you respect Mark although you claim you do – because you have no idea the mental process of what it takes to create something where nothing existed previously. In other words, all of you stealing, posting, downloading, sharing for free – again don’t use the excuse you found it on the internet or you didn’t know it wasn’t posted by our office – do not understand what it takes to become and remain a winning warrior in the markets. And that is the real tragedy for you.

• Our office suggests you stop and think twice before you download what we have found today in many cases to be edited or AI-generation false materials posted using our reputation.
• We also suggest you stop the false narrative out there that Mark created this by himself, convincing yourself now that he is gone, you have rights to the materials that belong and always have belonged via copyright/trademark to Dr. Paula.
• If something is free on the internet, there is another side as to why it is free.
• And that may not be in alignment with your trading goals, which we are seeing in increasing numbers with the advent of AI-generation.
• We are not responsible for you losing your trading account after using pirated or downloaded materials we did not post and have no association with.

With that said, it is time that people in the investment industry be called out publicly for laying claim to materials owned by Dr. Paula and posting those materials for their own monetization.

This is something we have hesitated to do, however, there is no other option moving forward, and that information will be found shortly here on our website. Of course, there will be much more positivity on this topic in the upcoming biography about their work together.
