Trade Like a Pro: 15 High-Profit Trading Strategies
$9.85
Trade Like a Pro: 15 High-Profit Trading Strategies has 15 risk management strategies in two parts. There are nine basic strategies, originally discussed in Winning the Trading Game, and now, in Trade like a Pro, analyzed more in depth. In addition, there are six advanced risk management strategies, that build on that knowledge.
Introduction:
Things have changed so much in the industry in the last decade, with new exchanges, the weakening dollar, the growth of China and India, and the creation of new tradable instruments like contracts for difference (CFD). All of this change means more opportunities to profit. The old way of looking at futures as too risky or of trading stocks with 100 percent cash has become more fluid. This book is designed to help you make that adjustment.
Trade Like a Pro shows you how to put the two sets of strategies to use to improve your odds of success. While book can teach you techniques on how to manage risk, it really cannot make you money, nor can it Jose you money. Only your intelligent reaction to the markets can do that and these tools are designed to help you make those intelligent decisions. You still need to have a trading plan, trading goals, a well-kept trading journal, and a sound money management plan, win or lose.

Armed with good intentions, most new traders are unaware of the realities involved. Although there is often the belief among novice traders that profitability will be easy, the evidence strongly suggests otherwise. In his new book, Trade Like a Pro: 15 High-Profit Trading Strategies, Noble DraKoln offers a thoughtful approach to making the transition from unsuccessful retail trader to the arena of the professional, which is imperative for lasting success as a trader.

What started out as a response to his anger related to investors losing money trading has now reached its sixth book, which expands and elaborates on material covered in the author’s previous publications. Nine of the 15 risk-management strategies included in this book present new depth and details from his earlier book, Winning the Trading Game, and he has added six advanced strategies that can help a trader manage an increased level of risk.
Part I introduces readers to traits of retail and professional traders – both unsuccessful and successful – and some of the essentials of trading and the trading industry and serves as a good review. DraKoln stresses the importance of risk management – what you do when faced with the risk of losing your principal and profits – vs. money management and sets out the core components of a trade setup – entry price, loss price and profit price and whether you are trading with the trend or the countertrend.
Part II covers basic strategies, showing how the spot market is protected by the futures market and how options can protect both the spot and futures market, broken down into several sections dealing with the time frame for which each is best suited. Some strategies will be familiar to options traders, such as straddles or strangles, but DraKoln focuses on when to use them and what you hope to accomplish with your position, citing a number of examples and how they look on a chart.
DraKoln discusses using options as primary and secondary alternatives to stops and stop loss orders, working through several market scenarios, and he covers the use of option collars at several different stages of a trade. He also shows the advantages of synthetic options and covered options and deals with traditional spreading techniques as well as options front spreads and back spreads.
The more advanced strategies in Part III, DraKoln explains, have “some risk management components associated with them, but also provide more exposure to the unlimited risk aspect of selling options.” Synthetic futures or selling naked options are more sophisticated strategies that should probably be reserved for more sophisticated traders, who may be able to capitalize on their margining advantages. DraKoln illustrates how to manipulate or combine those strategies to convert one position into another when necessary.
Mixed in with the options-related strategies is a section on inter-commodity spreads featuring seasonally-based trades, the soybean crush and energy crack spreads and trades based on ratios between related commodities such as silver and gold.
For serious traders who have a background in reading charts and are ready to begin converting their chart interpretation skills beyond just basic buy or sell into more advanced trading strategies, this book provides some valuable insights that can help make the transition from being a typical retail trader to a professional trader. With a very readable style and numerous chart illustrations, DraKoln explains how the strategies can be implemented in a wide range of markets from commodities to forex to single stock futures.
