Intro

I am not a professional trader. I didn't work in a hedge fund, or as an investment banker. In reality I'm just a retail trader who learned how to make a buck. I created this guide because there's a pretty big gap between what I see most traders do and what it takes to beat the market. This is a collection of the things I learned that got me out of the trader's rat race.
