The purpose of Trading with an Edge is to lay a foundation for other people to follow who want to make a career out of trading. Before you start you need to know certain things about the vehicles you intend to trade, they are not the “lottery” they look on the surface, and things have become so sophisticated over the years it almost takes a “university degree” in common sense to get your footing right from the start. The business of trading leveraged markets is not easy, that is unless you make it easy or as easy as you can possibly make it. You must know certain things to place yourself in a position of advantage. Then you must know how to conduct yourself. That is what this book is all about.
