If you run a search on Amazon for books on currency trading, you get 5,272 results. That’s a lot of books. They all have one thing in common: each has an author’s bio section, a chapter dedicated to giving the reader information and background on the author of the book. Most people skip this section and move ahead to the more interesting bits, the parts about how to become rich with some hitherto unknown trading concept. Most people also lose money trading securities.
Do you want to be like most people?
If the answer is no, then take the time to read and understand who I am, my background, what I’m about. The information in the biography chapter of a trading book is critical for you to know because it will give you some insight into whether the book is worth reading.
There is no shortage of people writing about the process of trading, whether for trading stocks, futures, or currencies. Not all of these writers are traders, not all of them are profitable, and not all of them are currently trading. These are things you need to know. A trader who writes about trading but is not trading today is similar to a medical professor who teaches about modern-day surgery with having performed a procedure in 30 years.
