      How to Trade small and Earn Big 

      Low Risk High Profit Trading for the Self-Directed Beginner

      By Giuseppe Picciuli

      Copyright 2016

      How this book can be used by you right away

      The information in How to Trade small and Earn Big can give you a head start on your education and training learning curve and get you on the fast track to making real money right away in the live financial markets.

      There are lots of decisions to make before you even learning anything or study anything. I will say here, I recommend you take your time and learn to do this business the right way from the first day. Doing it any other way can and will get your trading capital account FUBAR should you go to fast.

      There are links to some references in the book which I have made clickable for your ease of use. All you need to do is click on the link and it should take you directly to the information in the reference, all clickable links were live as of the writing of How to Trade small and Earn Big. I encourage you to do more research on your own after having read this entire book once or twice. You will not be able to digest all of the information How to Trade small and Earn Big provides in one reading as a self-directed beginner.

      Here is one huge tip I will give you before you get going. If you are going to day trade and trade live with real money and you have only been studying investing and trading for less than one year I recommend you only trade a micro account. You can do this on an account size of as little as $500 dollars to start and still be in the live market making real trades with real money. You won’t make a lot of money however it will give you a taste of the live market environment both good and bad. If you want to try to earn as you learn this is the only way you can do it.

      Use How to Trade small and Earn Big as an overview or a guide if you will, for what to study and learn first to become consistently profitable from trading. I give you concise information as to what to learn first and what to look for as far as further information is concerned. I tell you only the most critical things to learn first because those are absolutely the most important and the ones that will make you money right away if you do them. How to Trade small and Earn Big is written to provide straightforward, easy to understand and easy to apply advice, tips and techniques that can be the backbone of any self-directed traders success in the financial markets.

      How to Trade small and Earn Big can help you keep it simple and filter the huge amount of information out there down to only what you need to know right away and then can work towards adding more information and studies as you go. My philosophy is to start small and build on success have limited exposure while you hone your skills, then progress as you become more competent. 

      The good news is I did not put all the history of the financial markets in the book because you don’t need to know all that boring crap to actually make money. While it is good to know you can go back any time and study it because once you have become consistently profitable you will have a lot of time on your hands to do nothing, at that point trading is a lot of waiting around for the market to come and give you what you want.

      The market is not a big secret and all of the information you need to make a trading decision is right out in the open.  If you know where to find the information and know what to look for you can and will make some money every day in the market provided you are looking at the right information, are you?

      Decide what you want to get from trading then go get it

      I wrote How to Trade small and Earn Big for all beginning aspiring self-directed investors and traders who are just getting their head around doing the day trading and swing trading business. Everyone has their own ideas of what they think day trading and swing trading are and what it can do for them. This book is for beginners and will detail many of the things that a brand new trader must learn not to do before they can become consistently profitable in the live markets. You’re heard the saying just say no to drugs, just say no to day trading and you and your account will be waaaaay ahead of the game to start off. Don’t say I didn’t warn you, OK, continue with your insanity and read this entire book to give yourself a fighting chance.

      Brand new (newbie) traders all make the same mistakes over and over because they don‘t know any better, now you do. Newbie traders tend to do what everyone else is doing and study what everyone else is studying thus they have the same results and failures as everyone else. Don’t be that trader! If you can just take the time to read this information in this book, let it sink in and then continue on your educational journey you will have done yourself a huge favor and also begun to give yourself the needed edge to succeed in this business and be able to start trading on as little as $500 capital to start with.

      Begin with the end in mind I always say. There are a lot of things to consider when thinking about becoming a professional market investor and trader. You are the one who is making the decision to get into the trading and investing business, no one is making you do it. It is a big step for someone to take the plunge into the world of making money with money. One has to look inside one’s self and ask some very hard questions before they start driving their own money train down the tracks to riches in the live markets.

      It is very important to have figured out what your ultimate goals are before you step foot into the markets with your hard earned real money. Questions I ask new people are: are you trading for short term income or long term wealth building? Are you trying to build up your account balance to be able to take on more risk and trade larger size? I ask them why they want to do this business. I ask them if they know what their goals for the long term are and if they are thinking with a long term perspective.

      If a new investor or trader cannot answer these questions right away I just encourage them to stay out of the live markets until they can answer them and be honest. I also will ask them how much capital they plan to enter the live markets to work with. There is no point in trying to enter the live markets with scared money.

      Here are some of the main things you need to ask yourself and have made a decision on before you get going. Are you trading for short term income? Are you trading to build up an account balance so you can start trading multiple shares, lots or contracts? Are you trading for long term wealth goals and/or retirement and wish to be a buy and hold type of investor?

      What kind of investor or trader do you desire to be? You should know this before beginning this business. Figure out what style of investing or trading suits your personality the best. Do you want to day trade, swing trade, or position trade? What kind of time are you looking to put in on a daily basis? What kind of returns are you looking at monetarily? Are you the type of person who has a lot of time to devote to looking at charts in the live market to be a day trader? While I do not recommend day trading, it is possible; however, it requires a lot of time, preparation and a large amount capital. I know very few successful day traders.

      There are only a few different ways to be a market speculator - which way is best for you? You would either become an intraday trader, a swing trader or position trader. Do you like action? Maybe you want to be a scalper and get in and out of trades very quickly and take many trades in one day. You need a speedy internet connection for this type of trading.

      I am sorry to inform you that there is no such thing as scalping unless you are an algorithm. Are you an algorithm? I think not! Even if you could scalp you would need to be using an account size of five hundred thousand dollars or more to make it worth the costs that you would incur doing that type of trading. Don’t be a kook and try it because as a retail trader you will lose all of your freakin money. ALLLLL OOOOOF ITTTTTT!

      If you want to swing trade, you will need to have the capital in your account to handle the overnight margin requirement of whatever your chosen instrument is to work in. CAUTION: If you are new and have to use leverage to trade, you just shouldn’t trade. Stay out until you have sufficient capital to go into the market and be able to have a chance to make money.

      You can also become a position investor and trader and keep positions for a long term time horizon. Most position investors and traders are in a position for months and sometimes years. These are the most successful consistently profitable money making investors and traders in the business. It is this type of investing and trading which over the long term makes the most amount of money.

      One of the reasons this type of investing and trading is so profitable is because the expenses associated with this type of market action are low and do not add up as quickly as they do with other types of trading. Remember it takes money to make money and also costs money to make money in the live markets.
