For an aspiring trader with no financial background, the first step is intimidating. At this stage, confusion is typical.

Knowing nothing, how do you start? How do you know what’s out there? What kind of foundation do you need? Do you need to buy ten different beginner’s guides to trading?

The answer is no. Most of what you need to learn is available online for free. But finding the information in an organized fashion might be tricky.

This is the gap that “The 10×10 Trader” fills.

Here, you will find ten aspects of trading. Each element is explained with ten common examples or factors. This comprehensive approach ensures a solid foundation for anyone new to trading jargon.

This guide covers the basic building blocks of trading strategies, including price patterns and indicators. On top of that, you will learn methods for exiting your trades; an aspect often left out by trading books.

Beyond trading strategies, there are also chapters on trading business and psychology. Together, they form a holistic trader’s education. Trading is more than just buying and selling the market. And it pays to know this from the beginning.

Read this guide, or skim through it. You need not drill into every example.

Our main aim is to give you a sense of what is in the trading world. It empowers you as a generalist. Only then will you be comfortable exploring various aspects of trading before finally becoming a specialist of your choice.

You can zoom in on any topic that interests you, but if you’re starting from scratch, I recommend you go through them in sequence.
