36 Introduction

of thousands of dollars. I’m accustomed to these fluctuations, and because
the majority of my trading ends in profits, I can psychologically cope with
losses of a scope that just ten years ago would have caused me sleepless
nights. Each of us has our own level of psychological limitation: therefore,
trading too early with sums that are too large may lead to losses. Every
trader must find the most suitable figure, based on the personality aspect
rather than financial abilities. As time passes and you gain experience,
your psychological resilience will strengthen, and you will hopefully trade
a larger account.

How Many of You Will Make It?

Sadly, very few. How many businesses make it? Statistics show that only
one in five businesses survives and become successful. Is that a good
reason not to open a business? Of course not! It’s a good reason to open
five businesses in the hope that one of them will succeed! If you’re a
reasonable person with a high level of determination, persistence, self-
control, willingness to learn, and reasonable capital, you’ll succeed where
most have failed. The ball is in your hands. Don’t let statistics scare you.
The human race would not have gotten far if no one had ever been willing
to take a risk.

So Why Did I Write This Book?

I believe that this book can improve the quality of life for many of its
readers, even if they aren’t involved in professional trading. I believe that
everyone should become familiar with, and take advantage of, the stock
exchange to the best of his or her ability. I believe that even if you don’t
trade, you’ll still be able to learn, and avoid the capital market’s dangers
that can easily ambush you. I believe that in our current economic reality,
every person must hold a second profession, because you can never know
when one of them will become useless. I also believe it is our obligation to
make the best use of our advantage over the average investor attempting
to profit from the stock exchange without any knowledge or experience.

I believe we all deserve to enjoy this short life we have on earth. I derive
great pleasure from a successful day of trading and believe I can help
you get that feeling, too. It brings me great joy to hear a graduate of my
course tell me about his or her successes. That’s where my realization and
gratification lie, and that’s my proud signature on the history of trading.
My returns are the satisfaction and pleasure you get from your success.
Once you’ve become successful, email me and make my day!
