the truth about trading for a living

Having supported and trained well over 1000 traders it becomes clear why some traders succeed and others fail. This book describes the difference between the two and pulls no punches in describing what to do to trade profitably and stand a chance of trading for a living.

"I will stick my neck out and say that if you do not believe and act upon what is covered in this book you will almost certainly become one of the trading tragedies. "

Having answered well over a thousand emails from traders as well as holding one to one personal coaching sessions, patterns begin to emerge and then confirm by repeating over and over again. The same questions arise and the same attitudes to trading come through.

Some traders achieve success while many more fail. The ones that succeed are in the minority because trading successfully is difficult. It goes against many of our natural instincts and people are always looking for an easier route to success.

As a trader with a background of 20 years as a training manager in three different industries, I set about analyzing the key reasons why some succeed and even go on to trade for a living while others fail to ever get into consistent profits and eventually give up. Of course lots of people try trading but approximately 90% of all traders end up losing enough money to make them quit.

If you are currently not satisfied with your trading results whether you wish to trade for a living or not then this book is an absolute must for you.

If you are a novice trader this book will give you a realistic perspective on trading and a track to run on with a clear idea of the key things to will need to master.

If you are an experienced trader then some of the content you may be aware of - perhaps it is even obvious to some, but I guarantee that even if you are an experienced trader there will be things that you will learn to turn your trading around or take it to the next level. The content is applicable no matter what you trade (Stocks, Forex, Futures etc) or what time frame you trade (day trade, swing trade etc)

Fed up with unrealistic promises?

There are numerous books available on trading and many of them promise to make you a lot of money quickly. Why, because that matches the expectations of the people buying them. This book is different, it pulls no punches in telling you it is not that easy and explains why so many traders fail through unrealistic expectations and ideas of what successful trading really involves. Once you understand that you can then begin to build your trading into your dream.

This is an honest, no hype book that tells you what you need to do, achieve and master in order to become a successful trader and stand a chance of trading for a living - and from my experience it is not what the vast majority believe it to be.

Yes, it is possible to trade extremely profitably and even trade for a living. Why not learn from others mistakes and misconceptions and understand the realism of what successful trading really involves.
