The answer to that simple question may save you a fortune. Now to the second example. In this modern world where we all seek gratification as and when we want it, what do we do when we are offered something nice?
We take it. In the real world what do we do when something unpleasant comes along? We seek to defer it and hope that time may lessen its impact. What are these tendencies going to do in the market? They are going to mean you take profits too quickly and take losses too slowly.
Yes, you will be cutting your profits and running your losses. What works in the real world does not work in the market.
These are just two of the many reasons why all traders need the Trading Pyramid. The Trading Pyramid is illustrated in Figure 1. Each level builds on the next and, indeed, is essential if the next level is going to be put in place. Each trader already has such a structure in place but if trading and losing then the pyramid needs to be re-built along the right lines — lines which are going to be fully explained in this book.
In this chapter my only aim is to introduce the overall concept and in succeeding chapters I will look at each level in detail. The first level is you. Obviously if you are not in place, do not exist, then it will not be possible to add further levels. But also you determine the overall structure, as you have to build something which suits your overall personality. As such, each individual trader will have a somewhat different structure, although I believe there will always be common features.
Because of this, it is vital that traders each plough their own field. I often tell my consultancy clients that one of the major steps they must take is to learn to be disinterested in what I or anyone else says about the market. So already we can see how this model becomes useful — it gives us insights into the way trading works. The next level is commitment. Trading is a tough business, in my view one of the toughest. And that is only right as it is also the highest paid in the world for the high flyers — so you would expect it to be tough.
If you are going to battle your way through then you are going to need to be committed. But even if you get as far as reading this book then you are probably already committed. That means that you have already accepted that it is not going to be easy. Next comes discipline, a key factor in trading markets.
You have to learn about your own emotions and control them. This takes discipline. You need to develop a methodology that gives you an edge, and if you are going to use that you will need the discipline to do so. This brings in another point, because there are some things we can do and some we cannot. We do not need to make it unduly difficult for ourselves, so our methodology should be one to which we are suited, it should also be one in which we become expert.
Once these two conditions are in place the ability to exercise discipline and to follow our systems. Open navigation menu. Close suggestions Search Search. User Settings. Skip carousel.

Review Summary: Overall good book on trading for all markets, designed to get you back on track and making profits like a professional Notes: Foreword by Dr. Perhaps more importantly you can make money whether markets go up or down. In coming years this may be important. Trading is a life experience, it is not like any other business. As you become a better trader, you become a better person. But as you evolve it is difficult to look back at where you were.
I believe this is why there are no other books which cover all the ground. However, John has always combined his trading with writing about markets. This has given him a fairly unique insight and forced him to express personal matters which other traders just assume. It has also forced him to more carefully examine the precise process involved in becoming a successful trader.
