Who I wrote this book for and to use it

Everyone has their own ideas of what they think day trading and swing trading are and what it can do for them. Stock Trading $trategies for Self- Directed Beginners is for beginners and will detail many of the things that a brand new trader must learn to do before they can become consistently profitable in the live markets.

Brand new stock investors traders tend to do what everyone else is doing and study what everyone else is studying thus they have the same results and failures as everyone else. Don’t be that trader! If you can just take the time to read this information in this first book in the series, let it sink in and then continue on your educational journey you will have done yourself a huge favor and also begun to give yourself the needed edge to succeed in this business.

If you can just take the time to read this information in this book in the beginner trader series, let it sink in and then continue on your educational journey you will have done yourself a huge favor and also begun to give yourself the needed edge to succeed in this business and be able to start trading on as little as $500 capital to start with.

Picture yourself throwing all your startup capital into the bon fire at the party you’ll throw for yourself for starting your new trading business up and watch it burn up in smoke and flames right before your very eyes. You smell that? That’s all your money burning up because you went to fast or did not learn what to do the right way from the first day of your business and did not develop the needed edge to compete at the highest level. Trust me when I say, the sharks in the market will chomp up your trading account without hesitation. We’ll get to the sharks a little later on in the book so you know who they are and what they can do to you as a brand new beginner trader.

Stock Trading $trategies for Self- Directed Beginners is going to give you the brutal truth about day trading. What was it Jack Nicholson’s character Colonial Nathan Jessup said in the movie A Few Good Men? "You can’t handle the truth"! Do you want to invest and trade with real information or do you want to be lied too? The only thing in investing and trading that can’t lie to you is price action on your trading chart. Smart money cannot hide what they are doing in the market and it shows up on the price chart you look at every day you just need to be able to spot what they are doing where they are doing it.

I wrote Stock Trading $trategies for Self- Directed Beginners for all beginning aspiring stock investors and traders who are just getting their head around doing the day trading and swing trading business and want to do it as a self-directed trader and work from home. Everyone has their own ideas of what they think day trading and swing trading are and what it can do for them. This book is for beginners and will detail many of the things that a brand new trader must learn not to do before they can become consistently profitable in the live markets. You’re heard the saying just say no to drugs, just say no to day trading and you and your account will be waaaaay ahead of the game to start off. Don’t say I didn’t warn you, OK, continue with your insaneness and read this entire book to give yourself a fighting chance.

The stock trading business isn’t really an H&P type of business, what is H&P you might be asking, hoping and praying. You don’t need a rosary you need an edge. I’m not going to sugar coat it, this business is an ugly place for an untrained and underfunded beginner. There are very bad people in the live market who are looking to take all of your money from you, and they will should you not be prepared properly to go to work in the live markets. Again, don’t say I haven’t tried to warn you.

You absolutely need to have a competitive edge in the markets, and you must have it before you do anything in the live markets with real money. I will have some other books out soon that detail how to develop your edge for making money in today’s live markets, I encourage you to read them all as soon as they come out if you are in this business to make money. If you run with the ‘sheeple of the herd’ you can be assured to not have any edge. They all study the same information and are all programmed the same way to lose money repeatedly.

My hope from you reading the information in this book is that you understand how important it is to develop and have a competitive edge when putting your hard earned money at risk in the markets. Each day, the wealth from trader accounts is transferred from those without an edge into the accounts of those who have developed that all needed important winning edge. Which one do you want to be?

There are a lot of pre-education and pre-trading decisions you will need to make before you spend any money on trading or capitalizing an account to trade stocks live with. Stock Trading $trategies for Self- Directed Beginners delivers a basic comprehensive guide to the proper tools and resources needed to help give you the best information to make some of those hardest decisions.

Stock Trading $trategies for Self- Directed Beginners is for people who want to start their own business and become self-directed investors and traders in today’s financial markets, but have zero experience and are looking for the best quality information to get them started. If you pay attention to the information in this book you can avoid becoming one of the ‘sheeple of the herd.’ Don’t get yourself fleeced up beyond account recovery (FUBAR)!

Stock Trading $trategies for Self- Directed Beginners will be an excellent introduction for someone has zero or very little experience in the financial markets for what they can expect to research and learn if they want to have any chance at being successful making real money in the live markets. If you’re brand new this book will give you a head start, if you have a little knowledge already I hope this book can give you more information and help you learn something new.

Use Stock Trading $trategies for Self- Directed Beginners as an overview or a guide if you will, for what to study and learn first to become consistently profitable from day trading. I give you concise information as to what to learn first and what to look for as far as further information is concerned. I tell you only the most critical things to learn first because those are absolutely the most important and the ones that will make you money right away if you do them. This book is written to provide straightforward, easy to understand and easy to apply advice, tips and techniques that can be the backbone of any successful traders success in the financial markets.

Instead of trying to read Stock Trading $trategies for Self- Directed Beginners fast I recommend that you go slow and look up and search for the main things the book talks about that will help you to become successful right away. Skip over anything that is important and it could for sure cause you to lose some money. No one wants that now, right? Use the clickable links I gave at the end of the book for further reading and research. I did not put all the history of financial markets and all the stats in this book. You can look all of that up online at your leisure if you want to know that information. While it is good to know, it will not make you real money in the live financial markets every day.

Stock Trading $trategies for Self- Directed Beginners will be an incredible read for someone who has zero knowledge or someone who has some basic experience who is struggling with their trading and investing. I purposely do not put any charts or graphs in this book and I will tell you why. This is a very good book for the novice as it is easy to absorb information. Since you’re new all you need to do at this point is try to absorb what is said here.

Here is the first tip I can give you. Don’t waste time on learning things that will not help you make money in the live market. You don’t need to know the history of the financial markets and what all the old time guys who made a lot of money did to make their loot. It’s not even the same market or economics as it was when they were in the live market so don’t waste any valuable education and learning time on learning that information.

I encourage you to begin to learn only what will make you money in today’s markets. If you would like to go back and study all that history once you have become consistently profitable on a daily basis so be it. If and when you do become successful in this business you will have a lot of time on your hands anyway because at that juncture trading is boring and it is a lot of waiting around.

When you are done reading Stock Trading $trategies for Self- Directed Beginners you will have an excellent basic explanation of what and what not to do before you even study anything or do any kind of education. The information in Stock Trading $trategies for Self- Directed Beginners will put you on the fast track to becoming a successful self-directed investor and stock trader with very little money invested other than the cost of this book.

Stock Trading $trategies for Self- Directed Beginners gives you the truth of what happens in real life, in real time and in real money in the live markets every day. There are no short cuts and you must do the time if you want to drive your own money train. I try to keep the explanations clear concise, simple and uncomplicated. This book gives you substantial value and is going to be the foundation of your pre education for trading.

I wrote this book for the benefit of those who want to explore investing and trading but have no experience and have to start off with a smaller amount of capital, because I was incensed at how trading is taught in most books and courses so wrong and unrealistically. I have even heard industry people say that it is done intentionally so that the smart money can continue to profit. All they give you is unrealistic information that will not help you in the live markets using real money. Why would you want to learn something the wrong way from the start that could cause you to lose your hard-earned money? To me that’s just crazy.

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.  If you know where to find the information and know what to look for you can and will make some money every day in the market provided you are looking at the right information.

Unfortunately the trading-education industry does not have a good track record when it comes to its information practices and due to very little regulation in the industry, most people learn to trade completely wrong from someone who is good at marketing and sales but not so good at trading or who doesn’t even trade at all. Later on I will discuss the importance of getting a mentor and how doing so can also greatly expedite your learning curve and help you to make real money faster.

As I always say, there a lot of unscrupulous junkware selling locusts out there, waiting to prey on unsuspecting new investors and traders coming into the business. I am certainly not one them, I am not trying to sell you any fancy indicators, methods, systems or secrets of the financial markets. I’m not trying to shove any red or green hopium pills down your throat. I am just an honest real money trader who
