Book The High Roi Scalping System

Download or read book The High Roi Scalping System written by L. R. Thomas and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-01-06 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most scalping systems rely on a high win rate to make a profit, they also need a huge amount of focus during the trading day and it is very easy to over trade. This is why very few scalpers are profitable traders. Yet the advantage of trading the lower time frames is that there are many more opportunities to trade. The High ROI Scalping System was created to solve the problems of most scalping systems by providing a high ROI while still using the low time frames to trade and providing ample trading opportunities. This system also requires minimal screen time compared to most other scalping systems and is easy to understand. The book provides many examples and also explores correct money management and trading psychology which is left out of most other trading strategy books.

Book The 10XROI Trading System

Download or read book The 10XROI Trading System written by LR Thomas and published by LR Thomas. This book was released on 2024-06-01 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you are fed up with trading systems that promise the earth and fail to deliver then 'The 10XROI Trading System' will not disappoint. A leading foreign exchange broker conducted a study that found that winning traders had something in common. Their wins were much larger than their losses. Many trading systems are designed to have lots of wins but that doesn't make them profitable, they just appeal to the Holy Grail seeker who is looking for a trading system that never loses. By trading high probability trading strategies that give a very large risk-reward ratio like The 10XROI Trading system, you will automatically have a much higher chance of actually making a profit in the Forex markets. You may be an experienced trader who has already taken many trading courses or you may be just trying to decide on the best trading system for your personality and life circumstances. Written by a trader with over eight years' of experience in trading foreign currencies,gold and futures, this book is written in an easy to comprehend style with lots of illustrations and trading examples to help clarify each part of the system. This trading strategy is simple and easy to follow and takes up a very small amount of time as it uses the daily and hourly time frames. Unlike most day trading systems this makes it easy to trade around most jobs. Most importantly it explains every part of the system including the correct trading psychology and money management which most systems leave out. (Recent Review) ""Ever heard the expression 'buy low, sell high'? Or how about 'let your winners run and cut your losses?' I especially like 'ensure your winners exceed your losses'. I just finished reading a book on the Quants whose mantra is to 'put the maths, or the odds on your side'. Oh and I love the Jesse Livermore quote ' It never was my thinking that made the big money for me. It always was my sitting.' Great Sayings. Wonderful sayings. Fantastic. But my thinking: most retail strategies do not capture most, if any of these principles. So is there a methodology, that retail traders can use, even with limited funds, that captures all of this? And I mean all of this? I believe there is. LR has put together a strategy that does as the big boys do: focusses not on consistency of trades, but consistency of the trader using a simple,intuitive, market rhythmic approach. Of the strategy: Does it Buy low/Sell High? - Yes. Are Winners run, Losses cut? - Yes Do Winners exceed Losers? - Yes Is the Maths on your side? - Yes Do you Wait for trades to come to you? - Yes I have been trading the 10XROI strategy for just over a month now. The last two weeks of trading has seen me bag over 1000 pips. And yet that is not, I repeat NOT the focus or what impresses me. It is the rate of return. Each trade aims for a take profit of 10R and always a stop loss of 1R - which I have achieved. While it's still early days for me I already know the principles taught are the principles practiced and espoused by the world's foremost traders. There is no magic bullet. Just sound time tested principles focussed on patience, a simple strategy, money management and sound psychology. Why reinvent the wheel? Just spin that thing."" Kevin

Book Trading Psychology Collection

Download or read book Trading Psychology Collection written by LR Thomas and published by LR Thomas. This book was released on 2024-06-01 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If You Want to Be Successful in Trading You Need to Buy This Book! In these four best-selling trading psychology books, you will find practical, immediately usable strategies to improve the way you trade. Control Your Inner Trader Self-control is probably the most important skill you need to acquire as a trader. Unfortunately, most trading psychology books can be very vague and short on specific strategies to take control of your mental state while trading. Trading psychology shares equal importance with money management and the trading system and yet most traders remain unaware of the importance of taking into account their trading psychology when designing a trading system. What traders need is an unambiguous trader psychology system that can easily slot into whatever system they are trading and enable them to trade their system according to their trading plan. Control Your Inner Trader draws on the experience of an eight-year trading veteran who is also a qualified therapist. Behavioral and therapeutic techniques are included in the book that is easy for anyone to follow. Overcome Your Fear in Trading The most prevalent emotion facing traders is fear.. Fear causes traders to exit trades too early ruining their equity curve. Fear causes traders to self-sabotage so they can fulfill their self-fulfilling prophecy of trading failure. Fear causes traders to find reasons to avoid taking trades that would have been winners. Fear causes traders to exit trades before they have a chance to get the move underway and then have the misery of seeing a profitable trade run away from them. There are many more destructive aspects to fear in trading and what is vital for the trader in order for them to succeed is to have a way of thinking about trading that eliminates fear from the trading process. How to Stop Over-Trading is the latest book in the trading psychology series of books by L.R. Thomas. This book zeroes in on the specific reasons traders take trades outside their trading plan and offers simple solutions to stop over-trading forever. The truth is that if a trader consistently trades outside their strategy, even on a demo platform, they are very unlikely to succeed in trading. If you are skewing your trading results by taking trades that you shouldn't, then this book could change your trading, for the better, forever. Patience Lack of patience also causes negative behaviors related to trading, such as not bothering to back-test the system, not keeping careful records, and not doing an end-of-day or end-of-week analysis of trading results to find areas of improvement. The feeling of 'things not moving fast enough' also causes traders to add too many trading systems to an already overloaded brain and not be able to focus properly on any one strategy to make it profitable The profitability of the trading system is profoundly impacted by these types of behaviors and turns what is a money-making system in theory, into a loss-making system in the real life.

Book Scalping Columbus and Other Damn Indian Stories

Download or read book Scalping Columbus and Other Damn Indian Stories written by Adam Fortunate Eagle and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2014-01-21 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adam Fortunate Eagle has been called many things: social activist, serious joke medicine, contrary warrior, national treasure, enemy of the state, living history. Characterizing his style as “Fortunate Eagle meets Mark Twain, Indian style,” the author relates the traditions, joys, and frustrations of his own Native American experience in tones ranging from “gut-busting laughter to pissed-off anger.” Leading the reader through time and space, Fortunate Eagle uses his own history—as a child in an Ojibwe community and later as a civil rights leader who, among other achievements, helped organize the takeovers of Alcatraz in 1964 and 1969—to recount the experience of modern Native peoples. The tradition of oral storytelling shines through his language and in his thoughtful and humorous juxtapositions. In the story for which the book is named, Fortunate Eagle journeys to Italy to “discover” the land and claim it in protest of Columbus Day. Wearing a traditional beaded buckskin outfit, complete with scalps hanging from his belt, he meets with the pope. Afterward, suffering from what he calls “the Pope’s Revenge,” he is forced to spend two days in or near a bathroom. Beginning with a foreword “written” by Sitting Bull, and traveling from moose encounters in Minnesota to the Spanish Steps in Rome, this book reminds readers of the wisdom of elders, the cross-cultural confusion of Native-white encounters, and some of the most difficult issues faced by contemporary Native peoples. Falling somewhere between fact and fiction, the tales in Scalping Columbus and Other Stories combine outrageous comedy with clever social commentary, managing both to entertain and to enlighten.
