Jankovsky on the 'Art' of Trading

Sometimes I share stories from the markets; other times I recount what I learned working as a registered broker, an experience that taught me how to relate to others and their needs. Working in a brokerage, I learned how to be on the other end of a "sell," which helped me connect with my clients now as an independent trader.

However, through the whole process I share what made the difference for me personally and how that knowledge is available to any person wishing to become a winning trader. There really is no secret knowledge; it's more like hidden knowledge you personally must uncover for yourself.

The book is not a "how to..." book on trading (although I share a lot of insights that make trading work for me) but more of "I finally got it when..." book. Many of my insights are standalone thoughts on how to be successful, as listed above. I have tried to stay with a narrative style as often as possible. People tell me it is an insightful yet easy read.

I reading about my experience will give you at least a few tools to prevent yourself from being yet another one of the bodies we stack up around here after the day is done. LaSalle Street in Chicago and the Chicago markets aren't Wall Street and New York City -- I can promise you that. I think my insights can help you shorten the learning curve to the corner office on either street -- if that is what you are looking for. At the very least, the book will give you a few things to think about next time you pull the trigger on that "perfect trade."
