Each of us has a dream. For the active student of the market there is

only one: to pit his or her ability and capital against the market and

earn a living from it.

For years Bill had dreamed of trading and living his dream. At

age 33, he sold his printing business, making a $180,000 after-tax

profit. This capital would enable him to begin living the dream, or so

he thought. Four months after beginning to trade at a local electronic

trading firm, Bill had lost $65,000; 63.89 percent of his trading

capital had disappeared. What had taken him years to earn was

gone. Bill's dream was rapidly becoming a nightmare.

The grim reality is that short-term trading—especially day

trading—can be hazardous to your wealth and that 92 percent of

day traders lose money in their first two years of trading. Only 8

percent are successful. Of that 8 percent, only 2 percent of the day

trading public make money on a consistent basis. Why is it that the

public gravitates toward short-term trading? There are several

answers to this question. For now, let us address a more obvious question. Why do 92 percent of day traders fail, and what makes 8

percent successful? This book answers the questions and misconceptions

about short-term trading. It delivers powerful trading

methodology, screening procedures, tactics, and a revolutionary

approach to developing emotional control and mental focus.
