Trader Speak – Traders Speak Interviews with 35 Traders

Trader Speak is a collection of interviews coming in a 2 CD set, spanning over 40 hours of unabridged unedited audio with a wide variety of traders. In all, 35 traders are interviewed. Each trader presents a unique learning experience that will enhance one’s perspective on trading.

Get the traders “mindset” and import these experiences into your own stream of conciousness. This starts to build the discipline that can help you implement the strategy of your choice. This is as important as the strategy you choose.

The 35 traders represent over 1700 years of collective experience. From living legends like Steidlmayer and “Willem” (master of the FTSE pit) to Chris Kobewka, who likes to turn a few hundred pounds into over ten thousand pounds spread betting in just a few weeks on Dow futures to fund managers, floor traders, Elliott Wave Traders, Gann Traders, system traders, home traders, new style “arcade” traders and brokers – TraderSpeak interviews them all.

At just 99 pounds this CD may be more value to you than a course costing 5000 pounds, as it will impart to you the traders mindset. Getting the greed, fear and emotion out of your trading mind.

Many of those interviewed pack in more knowledge in an hour than could be gleaned on some of today’s “courses” costing thousands. Indeed the price is “negligible”, said trader Keith Wright of Boston, “when compared with its value.”

the concept

Trading is a profession surrounded in mystery and glamour all in the one package. Very few people know traders as they really exist. Sure, they may know of one and maybe more traders but do you really know what makes them tick. Unlike other professions where people often train in a university or school before going onto working with the public, trading is a solitary game. The trader is most often found alone in front of his screen facing what is often a less than forgiving market. An increasing number of people buy into the dream, setting up their screens at home in a special space and risking more than is recommended to “make it” in the markets. We aim to show what it has taken for many to make it in these markets – so you as a trader know that you are not alone here – and that it is possible to make trading a success without giving or holding illusions. This mindset is crucial to success. Very few traders start trading with this ability.

Some succeed of course while others do not. TraderSpeak interviews not only those who have “made it”, but also those who are on their way and those who have, temporarily or permanently given up for one reason or another. You start to see the reality of the trading experience.

buying into the dream

Listening to the interviews is more than an education. You will listen and hear as hearts are opened and lives of traders pour out. Absorb their experience. There is more to trading than just tips and techniques. It represents a whole attitude and approach that people often dub with the word “discipline”. In reality it is far more than that.

Money risked, money made and money lost. Is it just money though or the freedom of the dream that money has come to represent ? Listen and make up your own mind. Listen to different traders speak about their success (or the lack thereof) and start to figure out the differences in those who succeed and those who fail. Then absorb what you need.

why audio ? why not a book ?

There are a number of successful books on the markets that profile a number of traders. Perhaps the most famous book is Market Wizards by Jack Schwaeger and its “sequel” Market Wizards II. I feel that a book can only go so far. To me, there is a hidden magic in audio. It lacks the illusion that those who wish to create it can conjure up with television by leaving the mind free to process just the audio. That which is served up in someone’s voice can contain a thousand innuendoes, meanings and nuances the likes of which are hard to communicate on the written page. How can the excitement in someone’s voice come across on the written page ? Can you tell so readily if someone is being evasive (and some of the people interviewed are!)

is this essentially “Market Wizards” on tape ?

No.

Firstly, the object here is not to just interview “the best”. Some of the best are included but this series interviews a wide range of traders. Also, excerpts of interviews, which is essentially what happens in a book necessarily paints an edited picture. In some cases this may be a good thing – but it is by then another layer of interpretation. The objective of TraderSpeak is to get as close to “telling it as it is” as possible. “La realité” without interrupt. These audio interviews are by and large totally unedited allowing you to build an uninterrupted “picture” of the trader, his style, his trading technique (which is often connected with character) and his personality. Often, the “gold” (as I call it) – the best bit of the interview will come later in the interview where the trader suddenly starts to relax and talk in earnest about his or her experiences.

Get the traders “mindset” and import these experiences into your own stream of conciousness. This CD has helped traders in this way. Don’t buy it to place on the shelf. Buy it to listen to each interview. Listen to some of the better ones several times over. Andyou will start to absorb and change with it. There is a hidden value in audio. Its an age old form of communication and is absorbed into both lobes of the brain. In my experience several traders who have listened to this CD have gone on to become successful and have experienced life changes after listening to the CD. Becuase in listening to winners (and losers) give their accounts of reality that stream of conciousness seeps into yours and becomes part of your reality. What you thought you could never do your mind now knows it CAN. There is no proof. But this is no $5000 course. Its 40 hours of TraderSpeak for under $200

TRADER “CANT BE BOTHERED” TO SELL METHOD AS TOO BUSY TRADING”
– GIVES AWAY METHOD AS A THANK YOU TO TRADERSPEAK ! –

When you buy TraderSpeak you also get a copy of an intra day system, called “The Harry Palmer Method” – devised by one of our interviewees in 2004. It was designed to be sold, but the trader concened did not want or need the hassle at the end of the day.

He prepared an ebook trading method, somewhat similar in concept to a “system” being sold for over $5000 on the internet. We are giving it away to you free with your copy of TraderSpeak Volume 1.

Its a 67 page ebook that shows you his method in detail for trading emini Dow and DAX futures. The method can also be applied well to forex markets according to the author. He has simply given us the system, as he feels that the real profits are in the market and not from selling systems. The book even has the odd spelling mistake. We’ve basically left it unchanged.

The first half of the book details the method – its quiete simple and doesn’t mess around and the second half is basically a traders diary of how to use the method in the market trade by trade for several days – mistakes, warts and all with realtime charts and trade placement screens using Bracket Trader with Interactive Brokers.

This text, richly illustrated with live screen shots from his computer, is supplied without warranty, promise, or claim of performance, hypothetical, real, or otherwise. You trade at your own risk, and there is a risk of loss exceeding initial capital in futures trading.

I wouldn’t be putting this book up there if there were not some merit in it – in my opinion. It could, like so many things in life be hyped, packaged and sold on for anything between $9.95 and $30,000. But at the end of the day that would be a betrayal to you of the TraderSpeak ideal.

Trading is simpler and less glamerous than that. It needs the emotion and greed removed from it. This is a little method pure and simple. You have to have the discipline to MAKE IT WORK. The TraderSpeak CD may be hard to listen to in parts, but you need to listen hard. As the effect that listening will hopefully have on YOU is to help to begin to remove the emotion from your trading. Taking the emotion out is your biggest challenge. As you listen to TraderSpeak you may start to feel the mindset of real trading sink into your head. People always look for a method, but at the end of the day without the right mindset you are your own greatest enemy.
