No magic........? I received it with the following text: "i am just sorry i did not find this back in 2002..would have saved me loads of time and money" But! The book is first published 200. ...... So after 2002! TIME TRAVELLING
Well, not the kind of magic that people looking for the graal would expect... fortunately I read the following words my first day of trading: " Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious? I have read thru some of the recent and distant posts in this section, and have come to the conclusion that; the obvious is not so obvious to many! There appears to be a lot of textbook information being thrown around, especially in relation to position sizing and risk management. What every trader has to realise, is that all the risk management and position sizing techniques in the world are of no use what so ever, unless the trader is aware of the obvious pre-requisite to trading any market. It will be very interesting to see what answers the many traders come up with for the obvious, those with little and lots of experience alike! "
You lucky bastard. Obviously, primarily all of my failures are my own. But a close second would have to be the majority of BS I've read on trading forums and trading courses. If I knew what I was doing, and ever trained someone, I would restrict trading forums for the first few years.
