Finally: A book showing ordinary people how other ordinary people have become extraordinary traders.
It is well known that modeling someone who is successful is the fastest and most effective way to achieve positive results. But most trading books model only the wealthiest traders. How much do they have in common with you?
For that reason, this book contains interviews with traders to whom you can relate. They come from all walks of life - starting out as farmers, businessmen, educators, restaurant owners, scientists, house painters, aerospace engineers and salesmen. They had to learn how to carve out a living from trading by relying on their own experiences, innate resources, and character, and now they all make a consistent living from their trading.
Combining analytical and psychological modeling studies of each trader and their strategies, this book is designed to help you determine what you need to beat the odds. As you read about these traders, you can see the unvarnished truth about the psychology and working systems that are necessary to become an exceptional trader.
For anyone, from any walk of life, looking to trade successfully, these stories will be a revelation.
