Publisher's Synopsis
As I always say to new traders do you want to be right or do you want to make money? I am always amazed by what new traders think is important in the financial markets. They are conditioned right from the start to think that being right and winning a lot of trades and using a lot of indicators to do it is the picture of success. While it is nice to be right, making money in the market is all any professional trader is there for, period! The only way to do this as a retail trader is to be able to spot the value areas on a price chart with your own two eyes and then have the confidence in your method whatever that may be, to pull the trigger when it's the appropriate time to do so.Trading itself is not a sexy business and is actually very boring and monotonous when it is being done right, the sex and glamour come from all the money you've made from being a patient and persistent trader who works from a rule based plan, that's how you get rich in the business of making money with money. Unfortunately, new traders begin this business with grandiose ideas of starting off with two thousand dollars and making two million; sorry to tell you that will never happen to you.Let's face it, it's a well-known fact that 97% of brand new self-directed investors and traders fail and lose all of their money, why does this happen? It happens because brand new self-directed traders enter into this business with a bunch of misguided grandiose ideas of making a million dollars from trading and while you can surely make millions of dollars from trading you would need to be using hundreds of millions of dollars of capital to do so, no joke.The only thing you as a new trader need to be concerned about is learning trading the right way from the first day and doing it without the use of indicators. You can screw around and waste time and perhaps a lot of hard earned money on doing things the wrong way or you can learn market dynamics and become an expert money manager and work from a rule based plan just like we all do, it is the only way you will ever have a prayer of being successful in this business. It is not about making money in this business believe it or not, it is about keeping the money you already have and making more of it over a long period of time and you don't need a bunch of squiggly lines on your trading chart to show you that.
