Why I Wrote This Book
Since I started working on this book - in the summer of 1982 - nearly
every dimension of futures trading has exploded in growth. There are brand
new exchanges, new contracts, more advisory and news services, an
increasing variety of books and publications, and ever more sophisticated
technical trading systems, most all of them with computer applications to
make it easy to track the markets. However, even with this tremendous
growth in services related to trading, one inescapable fact remains: there is
still a very small group of sophisticated traders who take the greatest
percentage of profits out of the markets, making well over 90 percent of all
the other traders net losers year-in and year-out.
In futures trading for every dollar of profit gained by one trader, there has
to be an equivalent dollar lost by another trader. If a few traders are
consistently making money on a grand scale, then their profits have to be
coming directly out of the pockets of the thousands of other traders who
very faithfully contribute to their daily winnings. Some of these very
successful traders are public figures, but most are only known in the
Chicago or New York areas. Needless to say, everyone wants to know what
they do and how they do it.
There must be a difference between these two groups of traders - the
small minority of winners and the vast majority of losers who want to
know what the winners know. The difference is that the traders who can
make money consistently on a weekly, monthly, and yearly basis approach
trading from the perspective of a mental discipline. When asked for their
secrets of success, they categorically state that they didn't achieve any measure of consistency in accumulating wealth from trading until they
learned self-discipline, emotional control, and the ability to change their
minds to flow with the markets.
