EXCERPT from the book "Lifestyle Trading: Methods and Rules to earn a consistent daily income in one hour a day" by Minos Vadis
Introduction
A while ago, I happened upon a story about a legendary trader who made a consistent living for upwards of 40 years entirely and exclusively from trading. His name was Dick Diamond (yes, that was his real name!), and he continued to trade successfully deep into retirement age. If you are a trader, you will know that most traders suffer sleepless nights and an emotional roller-coaster ride. Dick, on the other hand, slept well at night, produced a steady income and maintained a prosperous and stress-free lifestyle.
I was intrigued. I've been trading intermittently for the last 20 years, having been a professional (and somewhat successful) futures trader for five of those years. I've also dabbled in forex markets, the stock market, CFDs (Contracts For Difference) and various other trading instruments, including options on futures. Over the years, I've had successes, but I've also had many disasters and sleepless nights. Trading is a game that has no guarantees, or so I thought. The story of Dick Diamond hit me with a hard realisation. Despite all my years of effort and experience, I must be missing something. I had never reached the point where I was confident that I could make a consistent living from trading.
I set out to gather more information about this remarkable trader. I found out that he had written a book (now out of print), and I managed to acquire a copy. The more I discovered, the more sure I became; I wanted to master Dick's method. I studied the book, researched using the internet, and set about experimenting, testing, practising, and trading to see if I could replicate Dick's success. I have managed to unlock the secrets to Dick's incredible method for myself, and this book is the product of these efforts.
I share my discovery with you in the humble hope that my efforts will help you find the same satisfaction and success that I enjoy.
