Important books on Trading
In my post ‘Tools – not fools’, I left out books. At that time I had not read many good books on trading, so it was a terrible omission. I was preoccupied with learning from books that did mainly analyses of various sorts. I had focused less as most noobsRead More
Totally sickened
I’m totally sickened by the fact that many so-called expert traders (self-proclaimed) have monetised their various websites by charging a fee for memberships or selling courses etc. I do not mean attracting income from advertising of independent sources. Some sites advertise and take a cut from advertisers if members signRead More
Like playing rock guitar – Cesar Huesca
This could well be about playing piano or any other musical instrument. Trading is about developing a passion, persistence, pressing forward, practicing, making mistakes, living your dream.

Gifted or not?
There are some truly exceptional expert traders out there. Dan Zanger is such a person. He’s turned 10K into 18Million in 18 months. I shan’t be giving a list of similar persons. Google is your friend. Many a struggling trader will say or think to themselves, “These people are justRead More
