Beginner Trading Psychology 101


Book Description

As a brand new self-directed investor and trader with zero knowledge of the business you are at a loss as to what information you actually do and do not need. You are a danger to yourself and to your account at this juncture, your mind and brain are telling you that you can make unlimited amounts of money from trading and investing in the financial markets. The good news is you can, the even better news is that you can do it from anywhere in the world you choose to be at any given moment as long as your head is in the game the right way. Beginner Trading Psychology 101 affords readers who are brand new to trading and investing the opportunity to really learn and expand their knowledge base as new traders from someone who came up on his own and trades and invests and trades with real money on a daily basis. The market is not a big secret and all of the information you need to make a trading decision is right out in the open on your trading chart. Much of what the current trading education industry is putting out is not only giving you information that is all backwards, is very unrealistic to do in the live markets, and can get you into a lot of trouble. There are very few books that deal with just how important the psychology of trading really is and brand new self-directed investors and traders have no idea what they up against and real money traders know what psychological mistakes you are going to make before you make them, beginner traders are who professionals get paid from in the live market. Beginner Trading Psychology 101 should be a must read for beginner and inexperienced traders looking to build their foundations and strategies. It is my hope that one day it could be taught as a course at all of the top business schools and should be required reading for anyone who has zero knowledge of trading and investing who wants to get into it and do it as a business. If you are a brand new self-directed investor and trader with zero knowledge of the business you should not skip one word of Beginner Trading Psychology 101.

How to Day Trade for a Living


Book Description

Very few careers can offer you the freedom, flexibility and income that day trading does. As a day trader, you can live and work anywhere in the world. You can decide when to work and when not to work. You only answer to yourself. That is the life of the successful day trader. Many people aspire to it, but very few succeed. Day trading is not gambling or an online poker game. To be successful at day trading you need the right tools and you need to be motivated, to work hard, and to persevere.At the beginning of my trading career, a pharmaceutical company announced some positive results for one of its drugs and its stock jumped from $1 to over $55 in just two days. Two days! I was a beginner at the time. I was the amateur. I purchased 1,000 shares at $4 and sold them at over $10. On my very first beginner trade, I made $6,000 in a matter of minutes.It was pure luck. I honestly had no idea what I was doing. Within a few weeks I had lost that entire $6,000 by making mistakes in other trades. I was lucky. My first stupid trade was my lucky one. Other people are not so lucky. For many, their first mistake is their last trade because in just a few minutes, in one simple trade, they lose all of the money they had worked so hard for. With their account at zero, they walk away from day trading.As a new day trader you should never lose sight of the fact that you are competing with professional traders on Wall Street and other experienced traders around the world who are very serious, highly equipped with advanced education and tools, and most importantly, committed to making money.Day trading is not gambling. It is not a hobby. You must approach day trading very, very seriously. As such, I wake up early, go for a run, take a shower, get dressed, eat breakfast, and fire up my trading station before the markets open in New York. I am awake. I am alert. I am motivated when I sit down and start working on the list of stocks I will watch that day. This morning routine has tremendously helped my mental preparation for coming into the market. Whatever your routine is, starting the morning in a similar fashion will pay invaluable dividends.Rolling out of bed and throwing water on your face 15 minutes before the opening bell just does not give you sufficient time to be prepared for the market's opening. Sitting at your computer in your pajamas or underwear does not put you in the right mindset to attack the market. I know. I've experienced all of these scenarios.In How to Day Trade for a Living, I will show you how you too can take control over your life and have success in day trading on the stock market. I love teaching. It's my passion. In this book, I use simple and easy to understand words to explain the strategies and concepts you need to know to launch yourself into day trading on the stock market.
