The Essentials of Trading : From the Basics to Building a Winning Strategy

The Essentials of Trading : From the Basics to Building a Winning Strategy (Wiley Trading)

As a psychologist who has worked with many professional and casual
traders, I have received numerous requests for reading material appropriate
for those just beginning their journey through the trading
world. With the publication of The Essentials of Trading: From the Basics
to Building a Winning Strategy, John Forman has addressed this need
most admirably. Intrepid souls considering the pursuit of the markets as a
vocation or avocation will find in these pages a lucid, engaging, real-world
account of what trading is all about.

John is the Content Editor for the popular Trade2Win web site, an online
community of traders. His familiarity with trading and traders, born of
this and his own direct market experience, is evident in his text. As an author
myself, I know how difficult it can be to write an introductory work
that avoids the twin perils of talking down to readers versus writing over
their heads. John navigates this path effectively, taking readers first
through the basics of placing trades and understanding how markets work
and then progressing to the development of trading plans, the implementation
of risk management, and the building of trading systems. His incorporation
of exercises and use of examples brings topics to life, maintaining
the interest of even the most hyperactive traders.
