Winning the Game of Stock Trading: The Complete Game Plan

This book is for any type of stock/commodity trader, although it is fair to say that it is most specifically targeted toward novices and intermediates. Simplicity is the name of the game here, and I have made it my mission to enable anyone and everyone to learn and apply the benefits of stock trading simply and easily. By giving you a grounding that is second to none, I look to provide you with the solid foundations required to give you the confidence to become a dynamic and successful trader. And I want it to be a fun and pleasurable experience too! You'll find during the course of this book that much of the teaching is done through use of charts and diagrams. Even the nonvisual among you will appreciate the power of this approach. Trading is frequently taught as a stodgy, theoretical subject, and I have often been bewildered by how people can "teach "this fascinating area of finance without the use of a single chart, diagram, or illustration. So much of my own knowledge is based on the understanding of simple diagrams. You'll also discover that I ask you a lot of questions throughout this book. It's a technique I use when teaching. Learning is at its best when it is interactive. So, get ready to have some fun while learning at a rate and speed that you couldn't have imagined possible before now. The writing style is as close to a relaxed speaking style as possible. Another important aspect of this book is that the examples are designed to facilitate your learning experience. You'll discover that I try to make this as much of a nonmathematical obstacle course for you as possible. The numbers are reasonably straightforward because I want to keep your focus honed on the specific learning points. Wherever a picture can be used to explain even the most complex of topics, we use it and combine it with the logic, too. We are constantly and simultaneously using different techniques to facilitate the learning process. If you don't remember the logic, then you will remember the picture; if you don't remember the picture, then you will remember the logic. Either way, you'll learn.
