trading

Hi, as the first post on this trading blog I thought I would explain what content you can expect.

I’ve been interested in trading for some time, and in fact have a short-term trading book in print, with other books to follow. It’s always fascinated me that so many people think they can make money trading, yet such a small proportion actually achieve a profit. The vast majority of people give up within the first six months.

As an engineer, I approached trading as a statistical and numerical task, but the fascinating thing is that trading is anything but that. Of course you need to get some things right to put statistics on your side, but it’s the emotional side that will kill you or your account.

I would love to hear from you what particular aspect of trading you struggle with, as I have written on most of them and can hopefully give you some good advice.

Alan
