Trading Pitfalls

I am a seasoned trader of 17 years. Yet to this day I can still trace the errors I made back to bad habits I formed right at the very beginning of my career. I could go 6 months without making one of these errors and begin to think I was free of them forever and then BAM!! I’d make the exact same mistake. “Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!”

If you are new to trading and are wondering how to start, for just the cost of a couple of beers (or the more valuable commodity these days, toilet rolls) this book will save you $1,000s.

Unfortunately over the years I have seen many friends lose huge chunks of their hard earned money & life savings attempting “trading” without first being aware of some major pitfalls. I don't want people to go through all the pain I did on my learning curve - especially now in this extremely hard and uncertain time. People are desperate to make some extra money, so they think they'll try trading. If you want to trade that’s great and really admirable because you are putting your money where your mouth is. You've got guts. But please save yourself a lot of pain and read this book first, otherwise it's almost certain that you will lose money. I promise that if you listen to my advice and apply it, I will save you a lot of stress and money by avoiding novice pitfalls.

Your hard earned money will be safer once you read this book! You may even choose not to trade, and there's no shame in that because it is a big risk.

If you do start trading don't say I didn't warn you!
