Zen and the Way of the Samurai Trader

Zen and the Way of the Samurai Trader is much more than a book on trading, it is a book on how to deal with life. It talks about online trading, how to deal with it, how to respect fear and finally how to understand online trading starting from the most simplistic concept of underestimated consideration: the market is not our enemy - the market is a battlefield. Being a battlefield, the market can assume only three forms: bullish, bearish and indecision – lateral, which, like air, water and land, have different characteristics. These characteristics must be well known in order to prepare the attack (rather than defenend or withdraw) . The enemy, however, resides within us and it is our EGO, supported by countless allies (fear, hope etc ..). In this book, Stefano Fanton also explains how to deal with our enemy, and it is here that the mythical figure of the samurai trader rises, a ronin (samurai without master) who can count only on his own mind, his own sword and liner into which the sword is placed into, and his mantras. These are all fundamental elements for the samurai trader which prepare him for the endless battles that he has to face. This is a book where every single paragraph may be the subject of study and thinking. It is very useful and can be read by everyone from novice to experienced traders and although it speaks mainly to the novice, it has much more impact on experienced traders for which the "removal" is much more difficult. The Zen approach and the Zen mentality is, between the lines, what the author suggests to adopt into our daily lives, into the choices and expectations that we are forced to deal with or that we want to pursue in every day life.
