The Subtle Trap of Trading

I’ve got some good news and bad news for you.
The good news is that in your hands you will hold the short cut to making the
dreams you started with a reality. The bad news is that this is still going to
take some dedication and work on your part. That’s not really bad news,
though. If you’re willing to do some work, then this course may save you
tens of thousands of dollars that you had to earn in the first place.
If you’re willing to do what’s given to you in this course, then you’ll find a
sense of calming reassurance that you are capable of being successful as a
trader, and you’ll enjoy the lifestyle that you’re hoping for.
The markets offer returns not found in most arenas of investing, and for
those who properly prepare and keep their head on straight along the way,
life is very good.
This is no different from life itself. You’ll get out of it what you put into it.

What this course will NOT cover.

I am NOT going to make any recommendations regarding which system you
should use. There are dozens of different systems, indicators, and methods
for trading. Which one you use is a personal choice that should be based on
your emotional style (I’ll help you figure that out) and what is the best fit for
you. Every person is individual; you have your own personality and should
choose the one that feels right. I don’t know of any “one-size-fits-all”
trading program that is the right one for everybody on the planet.

Trading is a personal matter. You are who you are and you should play the
game on whichever field you like, with whatever tools and equipment you
want. What you use should be based on what “fits” best for you. Those are
your choices, your decisions.
