Every Day Traders Australia

We often hear about the successes of traders from around the world but rarely get an insight into home-grown, Australian traders. Nick Radge explores the lives of Australian traders who are not known in the public domain yet make their living from the markets. This is more than just a collection of good stories - its aim is to get answers that can be applied to your own trading.

We often hear about the successes of high-flying traders and investors ?people such as Warren Buffett and Dr Alexander Elder are well known in the investment world. But rarely do we get an insight into the lives of every-day traders here in Australia, people who often started out with a small amount of money and limited investment knowledge, and, through continuing education and hard work, have managed to carve out a living in the markets.In this collection of interviews, Nick Radge ?a successful trader himself ?explores the lives of every-day Australians who have traded regularly and profitably for a number of years. Through his detailed questions, he gains insight into the traders?personalities and methods and some of them may surprise you! The issues discussed include:* trading systems and statistics* how to approach risk* entry and exit techniques* technical and fundamental analysis* the psychology of trading.Nick Radge also discusses with interviewees the lifestyle that goes with trading, how they became involved in the sharemarket and what they think it takes to succeed. While the traders interviewed focus on different areas of the markets and use differing tactics, a common theme emerges that, with discipline and a businesslike approach, trading can be a stimulating and financially rewarding journey. You may even get the occasional day off to go surfing!

What’s the fastest way to lose money? Follow the herd. Nick Radge stopped following the herd many years ago. As a trader and stock broker, Nick learnt to recognise what the herd were doing and how they react to financial information. He also realised that it made no sense. Are you one of the herd? Here’s a test: If a stock’s price is falling do you think it represents good value, i.e. it’s cheap? OneTel and HIH were not cheap when they eventually delisted in 2001. ABC Learning was not cheap when it delisted in 2008. How about Bear Sterns, Lehman Brothers, Trump Entertainment or Kodak? Billabong does not look cheap at the moment! A stock price in motion tends to stay in motion; Unholy Grails will show you how to be on the positive side of this statement. Nick Radge is focused on momentum investing; purchasing stocks that are trending up. Nick shows you how to hitch a ride on stocks in an uptrend or protect your capital during sustained bear markets. Unholy Grails goes against almost everything your stock broker, financial planner and your fund manager will ever tell you. Considering that in 2008 capital managed by fund managers dropped up to 50% we are in desperate need of an alternative way of thinking. In Unholy Grails, Nick Radge details a road less travelled; a compilation of practical strategies for investors looking for long term gains with minimum daily effort. “I am shocked that so many Mum and Dad investors were financially and emotionally battered during the GFC. The financial planners and fund managers they were relying on for advice gave them no advice: just the same old ‘buy and hold’ strategy that simply does not work in a collapsing market. In Unholy Grails I define specific strategies for investors, allowing them to manage their own investments and stop paying fees to financial planners and advisors,” said the author, Nick Radge. Whether investing for your retirement or using an active investment strategy to manage your personal wealth, Nick Radge examines and tests numerous investment strategies to help determine the right one for you. Don’t expect the same old, worn out advice from Nick Radge. His latest book is not called Unholy Grails for nothing!

The Weekend Trend Trader is a trading strategy designed for people who want a simple to follow trading plan that trades just once a week. An ideal investment strategy for people who work full time but are actively planning for their retirement. Weekend Trend Trader is designed for and tested on the US stock Market. The Weekend Trend Trader strategy is a turnkey strategy that uses no discretion. In other words the strategy has a set of rules and users should understand why they entered a trade and when and how they will exit. Because the rules are strictly and mathematically defined we are able to back test the strategy on historical data. This enables us to understand the strategy’s nuances and therefore better understand how the journey to success will be travelled. The strategy is a combination of several tools that: * ensures you will always be aligned with the trend of the broader market * enters positions at specific points and with reasonable confirmation * manages existing positions with a trailing stop loss * defends existing positions if the trend of the broader market reverses * outlines how much to invest in each position. We will fully step through each of these points in detail and slowly build the system from the ground up.
