The Way To Trade

WHY YOU NEED THIS BOOK

If you are an individual trader, whether a novice or experienced, you will
benefit from reading this book because:
1 Trading the futures and options markets leads to a greater compounding
of wealth than any other method available. Billions have been made
in days on many occasions, and will be made again.
Nothing else comes close.
2 It is possible to make money in the markets consistently. It is possible to
beat the market. The author, John Piper, among many others, has done
it. To do the same you need to follow a proven methodology which suits
your personality. This book explains how.
3 This book also sets out a number of proven methodologies, giving you
a head start in selecting the one which will work for you.
4 But it also goes a lot further. John Piper wrote this book because he had
never come across a book which deals with the whole issue of trading.
There are many books which deal with market analysis, and technical
analysis techniques. There are many books which deal with psychology.
There are books which deal with money management and all manner of
other subjects, some even cover a range of topics. But no other book
covers it all, from a successful philosophy of trading, through all the psychology,
into the methodologies, the operation thereof, and the end
result.
5 It is rare to find a book which appreciates that it is no good doing it “how I
say.” We each have to find our own route to success. This book spells out
why that is, and how to do it. That is what The Way to Trade is all about.
6 The futures and options markets offer the biggest potential for growth,
far more than is offered by stock markets. The people who really make
it big do so in these markets. Perhaps more importantly you can make
money whether markets go up or down. In coming years this may be
important.

The Essential Of Trading

Preface:
This book started with the intention of providing university finance
and economics students with a practical, real-world resource they
could use to learn about trading the financial markets. While structuring
the text, I had in mind the length and progression of a standard college
semester-long course. In fact, even before I started putting it all into
book format, the contents and presentation that follow were successfully
applied in a series of university level graduate and undergraduate financial
markets and managerial economics courses.

Anyone who has been through a finance curriculum knows that most
modern financial coursework is biased toward application in an institutional
environment. It does not provide much direct use to the individual
in terms of personal investment, risk management, and/or speculative efforts.
This text seeks to take a different approach, one that focuses more
directly on the individual, but with institutional carryover application of
use to those who are, or eventually will become, involved in decision making
at that level.

That all said, this book was written for anyone and everyone. While a
general knowledge of the financial markets is useful, it is not required.
Most of the students with whom I have worked over the past several years
had some knowledge of things like the stock market, but they were complete
novices to actually trading. For that reason, this book starts at the
very beginning, so that no reader—student or otherwise—is forced to play
catch-up.

The Market Guys

The Market Guys’ Five Points for Trading Success is based on a philosophy developed by Swope and Monte that focuses on the basics of trading. In fact, they developed their Five Points for Success to keep traders focused on the five points that really matter when it comes to trading:

1. Trade in the direction of the trend;
2. Establish a clear support level so you can determine where you will exit if the trade moves against you;
3. Be sure the pivot point is going up on the day you buy;
4. Calculate your maximum loss as 10f your account value;
5. Take action — once you buy your stock, place your stop loss order below the support level.

These five lessons were developed by Monte and Swope during their own years as traders, as well as through their years speaking to hundreds of thousands of traders (both amateur and professional) during seminars.

In The Market Guys’ Five Points for Trading Success, Monte and Swope touch upon some of the biggest issues in the field, including the emotional and psychological issues related to trading, technical analysis techniques, and how to find the right broker.
