The Book on Trading
"The Book on Trading -
The Secret Language of the Markets"
For Immediate Release:
"You Have Been Lied To"
The Book on Trading Exposes the Deception Behind Manipulating Marketing Ads.
Everywhere you look, someone is "revealing the secrets" about making a lot of money
trading in the markets, the truth is – there are no such secrets!
According to the National Futures Association (NFA) and the Commodity
Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), no "safe" trading system has ever been devised nor ever
will be. This statement was released to protect you (the public). But despite the regulations,
unscrupulous advertisers continue to deceive hopeful trader/investors.
The Book on Trading is different because it takes an insiders look behind the scenes and
exposes the complexities of trading: from the extreme commitments expert traders make,
to the diminishing accounts of every day people in pursuit of easy money. The truth is that
trading is not as simple or as easy as marketing and advertising agencies "want"
you to believe. Despite the deceptive ads, you cannot buy your success, you will
have to earn it.
Trading profitably is a learned skill set, a repeatable process, tested over time
and applied to the random movements of price with varying degrees of success (even for the
Professionals). I believe that being a consistent trader is the direct result of a trader's
ability to accurately interpret the direction and duration of random price movements.
Learning how to interpret the secret language of the financial markets is a missing link in
most programs and the master key every potential trader/investor must possess.
The book also explains why most novice traders fail and how to avoid falling into this
trap. One reason that new traders fail is because they have a tendency to actually
"believe" trading is easy and they chase the market before they establish any
order to their methods! They often rush into live trading without even
knowing the basics of "what not to do", they have no edge nor have they developed and
validated their own systematic process to trade by (rules).
The Book on Trading touches on every aspect of trading in the right order,
at the right time, providing the hopeful trader a better understanding of what's expected
of them, before they trade live. And of course the book includes tradable strategies
with entries and exits, stop placement and trade management tactics
as well as custom systems for advanced traders to apply immediately for measurable results.
Without the tools provided in this book just look at what you're up against:

Why Read This Book?
The reality is that trading is not what it appears to be. Prices are in a constant state
of change, driven by the erratic decisions of market participants to collectively buy or sell
at any given time. The decision to buy or sell usually has some sound reasoning behind
it, but the fact remains that decisions are made by people and people are ruled by their
emotions. Sometimes stable, sometimes chaotic, human emotions change with the slightest
hint of danger (fear) and this affects pricing in the markets. So, the surprise is
that pricing in any market is for the most part is determined by uncertainty and fear!
Professional traders know what it takes to create an edge in their favor. If you ever
expect to master trading on your own behalf you'll need to discover for yourself what your
edge will be. The Book on Trading could be an excellent resource to help you find your edge.
--------------------------------------
So what is it about this book that's different from any other book written about trading?
That's a fair and honest question!
Most books written about trading do not start before the beginning. The author's don't
want to scare potential clients away by telling them the truth, so they just tell people
what they want to hear. This turns out to be as great disservice to expectant traders/investors.
In fact I would dare to say that this contributes to the unreasonable expectations failing
traders fall prey to.
The Book on Trading explores four more factors to consider "before" you even begin to learn
how to trade. Not considering the answers to these questions is a recipe for disaster. If you
don't "know why" you want to trade, for example, you've missing out on a foundational building
block that's important to help you define your future trading edge.
