By author : You should understand that I am a trader, not an analyst. This book contains my experience and methodologies as a trader interested in two things: reducing risk and making money. I don’t care about market correlations, the Big Mac Index, or speculating about whether a central banker is going to shave his mustache off. I do not spend my time analyzing the market to death; I’m a trader and making money is all I care about.
Do not expect a detailed analysis of each currency pair or the effect crude oil may have on the Canadian dollar. I will not discuss traditional technical patterns, Elliot Wave theory, or Gartley patterns (whatever the heck they are). These topics have been discussed ad nauseum by other authors and I see no reason to cover them again.I don’t use them in my trading, so why should I include them in this book? I am only interested in identifying support or resistance, where price is now, where is it headed, and how can I profit regardless of the cost of tea in China. Throughout this book I refer to the theme of bargain hunting. Many traders tend to lose their shrewd business sense when it comes to trading.
The same trader who wouldn’t pay a penny too much for a car will pay full price for a trade. These traders chase breakouts, sell resistance, and buy support. I want to reset your thinking and remind you that trading is no different from any other market. Demanding the best deal out of every trade lowers your risk and increases your profits. No trade is worth taking unless you are able to dictate your terms to the market. Throughout the chapters on bargain hunting you’ll learn the principles and methodologies I follow to be the cheapest trader I can possibly be. It’s a badge I wear proudly.
