Great book and a real profitable trader who shares his learnings

I wanted to share two links today

One is a website of Oli Hille at http://www.tradingbook.org/
He is authentic, a real trader, consistently profitable one, and sharing his valuable lessons with others.

The other one is a book by Brent Penfold, "The Universal Principles of Successful Trading".
I found it very relevant, inspiring in spite of some pessimism there.
Very realistic, very authentic, I can certainly relate to many experiences the author shared and I am finding his solutions very practical and real.

In fact, while I continue to trade discretionary trend following system today, I am planing to re-open the project of qualifying an automated trading system, to backtest is mechanically, and then trade manually.

I hope you will enjoy the two resources I shared.

Zen Habits

I recommend a Zen Habits blog by Leo Babauta at zenhabits.net


His guidance for simplicity, meditation, focus, ways to implement good habits... I am finding all of this very related to forx trading!

Think about this. Good habits, which Leo on his blog provides lots of ideas how to build, are something you need to become a consistently profitable trader: habit to journal the trades, to test new systems, to properly review the markets, to approach trading in a calm and controlled way, etc.

Another one is simplicity that he is calling for... simple trading systems are ususally the ones that work best. Often thing as simple as buying on the break of the candle that touched the EMA 20, if we a re in an uptrend is better than a very complex system with lots of indicators.

See it for yourself :-)
I am finding Zen Habits materials very helpful and I hope you will as well.

BTW, I am repeating myself, I shared a link to this back in my January 2014 post ;-)

Links I felt like sharing

This might be a bit off-topic, but that's fine.

Here is a couple of places I felt like sharing, because I see huge value in them, so in case you were not aware... like I was not until some time ago.

Coursera.org Free high quality courses, by professors from top universities.


Offers high quality education, at your own pace, of the topics of your choice.

Great thing. There is a few courses relevant for forex trading, too. Just try and search for "finance" or "psychology" or "markets".

zenhabits.net gives some good inspiration. Check it out for yourself.


This blog design and existence is somewhat influenced by Zenhabits. And lots of things the author talks there are applicable and relevant for having the right mindset to trade forex with high quality, so that we can be consistently profitable.


ted.com for good ideas. I have watching at least one video on my weekly checklist, just to keep learning new ideas, hacks, insights.
