3.0 out of 5 stars Good for the Novice Trader, 11 April 2011
By PureSymmetry (london) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE) This review is from: Trading Instincts: How to Become a Master Trader (Financial Times Series) (Paperback)
I really like Curtis Faith as an author and have all of his books. This one in my opinion is only worth reading if you are new to trading.
Faith talks a lot about intuition, and rightly points out that only trained intuition can be relied upon. Master traders have a trained intuition. Translation: Master traders have a lot of experience. I think this book can be summarized in maybe a few pages, but i'll do it now.
1) Get a system that works FOR YOU - this invariably takes a long time as newbies have to go thru the sharks to find what really works. What i mean by works for you is this - know what kind of person you are and what your objectives are. No point having a scalping method if you cant watch the screen for prolonged periods of time. No point having a long term system if you get bored to tears waiting for a trade entry to materialize. Know who you are, know what you are looking for then educate your self to either find or develop a system which fits you.
2) Become, very, very skilled at using that system. Professionals excel at doing a few things, then building on them. They know when to employ their entries and exits and what types of market conditions their systems best operate in. The way you get that level of insight is through deep practice. Ideally on a simulator if you have one. Spend more time practicing and learning through an awesome simulator and expose yourself to as much market patterns as you can and you will begin to see when your system works best and when it doesn't. Know how to use what you have to the best of your ability then execute with cold efficiency. Work hard at this and you'll get to expert performance.
