Beginner Trading Psychology 101

Book excerpt: As a brand new self-directed investor and trader with zero knowledge of the business you are at a loss as to what information you actually do and do not need. You are a danger to yourself and to your account at this juncture, your mind and brain are telling you that you can make unlimited amounts of money from trading and investing in the financial markets. The good news is you can, the even better news is that you can do it from anywhere in the world you choose to be at any given moment as long as your head is in the game the right way. Beginner Trading Psychology 101 affords readers who are brand new to trading and investing the opportunity to really learn and expand their knowledge base as new traders from someone who came up on his own and trades and invests and trades with real money on a daily basis. The market is not a big secret and all of the information you need to make a trading decision is right out in the open on your trading chart. Much of what the current trading education industry is putting out is not only giving you information that is all backwards, is very unrealistic to do in the live markets, and can get you into a lot of trouble. There are very few books that deal with just how important the psychology of trading really is and brand new self-directed investors and traders have no idea what they up against and real money traders know what psychological mistakes you are going to make before you make them, beginner traders are who professionals get paid from in the live market. Beginner Trading Psychology 101 should be a must read for beginner and inexperienced traders looking to build their foundations and strategies. It is my hope that one day it could be taught as a course at all of the top business schools and should be required reading for anyone who has zero knowledge of trading and investing who wants to get into it and do it as a business. If you are a brand new self-directed investor and trader with zero knowledge of the business you should not skip one word of Beginner Trading Psychology 101.
