Description:
An insightful look at how ordinary people can transform themselves into extraordinary traders Millions of people turn on their computers every day and try their luck in the financial markets. Some are successful, most fail, but the possibility of hitting it big never deters them from trying. In Millionaire Traders, Kathy Lien and Boris Schlossberg interviewed twelve people that started with as little as $1,000 and turned it into a six- to seven-digit fortune. These are not one-hit wonders, but people who have trained themselves to become true professionals. They share with the reader stories of how they got started, their setbacks and successes, their most important trading rules, specific strategies, unique characteristics of the markets, and the many lessons they learned along the way.
