You can rest assured that I tell it as it is. No spin. No hype. Just the crucial aspects nobody else covers because they deal with tough truths.

I have never won prizes for being tactful. I have however, through the years, been successful at doing the things I choose to invest my time in. Forex trading is one of those things. I got hooked on trading for a living years before retail forex trading became the new trader’s frontier. When it did come along, I didn’t hesitate. Years later I still think it’s the most exciting, most lucrative trading that exists. When I took the plunge I had a pretty good trading record. It was my only form of income, the profits I made from trading – bonds (treasuries).

Then came the retail forex market. What an event! I have never in my life seen such hype, nonsense and untruths as were peddled by marketers trying to get the public to trade and make them (the marketers) rich. This is the first reason why you should buy this book, if you are one of those who bought the hype. By now you have probably realised that a marketing wizard has put one over you. You are not a fool. You’ve seen all the abracadabra stuff on offer. But you are still looking for what really works for you. Read on.

I know what I am talking about because I've done it, and continue to do it successfully. Both trading and teaching / mentoring.

You see, when I started trading in 1998 I had to make money by trading. This was my business. This business had to work. No comebacks. I had a few months to make it work, but that was it.
If I couldn’t make it work in those few months the consequences was too ghastly to contemplate. In Bird watching in Lion Country – Retail Forex Trading Explained I describe to you how to make this business work. You will not find another pretentious roadmap to the illusive "holy grail", you will not be bothered with some fantastic new indicator or combinations of indicators that the losers spend all their time on.
Technical analysis indicators are easy to concoct, easy to package and easy to sell because there are a lot of fools out there. But trading can't be put together in a 1-2-3-buy-1-2-3-sell-your-are-financially-free package.

Because I understood trading and what it means to make money trading, I realized that to help others to do the same I could not use a short theoretical course. Learning to trade is a process. The process of building trust. Trust in your self and your system. Not my system. Your system. Before you don't trust your own decision making you will not be a winner. My mentoring is all about building confidence and trust by developing a personal trading approach and strategy that works. The building blocks of this system are fundamentally sound. I explain all of it in detail.

The scale tips the day you begin. If you start wrong you’re gone.

This is extremely important. Most people start wrong. They’re running the wrong race. They’re barking up the wrong tree. They are simply in the wrong paradigm - the losers' paradigm.

Why do you think there are 90% plus losers in retail forex trading?
Most losers aren't winners who blow up. They are losers from the word go. They never make one cent to keep! They start wrong. It is as simple as that.

If you start right, you're 90% there. In Bird Watching in Lion Country - Retail Forex trading Explained I explain to you where you should start.

You are going to flunk geography 101 if you think the sun revolves around the earth. You are going to flunk forex trading 101 if you think technical analysis of intra day price movements is the way to trade.

Most people need to make a paradigm shift about technical analysis as a means to trade profitable in the retail forex market. If I say “paradigm shift” I mean “paradigm shift”. I am not saying you must enter a new paradigm in Part 1 to 3 of the book, explain this and then in Part 4 you get just another technical analysis lesson.

The idea that this is the ideal market for technicians is an outright lie spread by the Marketing Wizards. I also do not spend pages and pages on fundamental analysis mumbo jumbo. I also don’t, like many others do tell you (their hedge against the inherent flaw in their technical analysis system) just to combine the two. I explain to you how you combine technical and fundamental analysis to create relational analysis in order to do real time analysis … and make money.

I explain to you the crucial role of the most important tool for a trader, “information”.

Information is the be all and end all of a trader’s tools, of a trading business, like almost any other business. You must understand that by generating useless or wrong information you can cause yourself a lot of harm. By doing technical analysis you generate information. Don’t get me wrong. Technical analysis is important, but much more important is the role technical analysis plays in your “system”, your trading approach. By lying to yourself or anybody else for that matter about the information will do you no good.

You need information. You need the right and useful information. You also need this information at the right time. You can’t have too little information and you must be wary of too much information. You must interpret the information you have correctly.
I explain to you which information you need, where to get it, how to interpret it and how to use it to trade forex profitably.

The marketing wizards are here to make money out of you. In order to achieve this they make you believe that the principles underlying short term trading are essentially different from the principles used by professionals with large amounts under management. This is wrong.

The way they make even more money out of you is by convincing you to do too many trades, to do too large trades and to fool yourself consistently about the illusion of intra day market timing with technical analysis of intra day price changes.

I will hopefully forever cure you of the losing habit of stopping your profits, making consistent losing trades and enriching the marketing wizards.

This book will lead you through the door of the winners’ paradigm.

But be warned, the winners’ paradigm is not organized like the 100 meters final of the Olympics. You don't just get in the starting blocks, wait for the gun, run between the lines, break the tape, and get the medal. No. Its more like Grand Central Station during rush hour ... and all that entails. After reading this book that’s where you will be.

At the end of the day it is all about perspectives. The way that you look at a number of things. This book will enhance your perspective, I have no doubt about that. It will assist you to either start right for the first time, or if you need to go back and start all over, it will help you to eventually start right. This book will lead you through the door of the winners’ paradigm.
