Money isn't everything . . . but it ranks right up there with oxygen.
RITA DAVENPORT
The Sixth Market is the electronic trading of securities by the self-directed individual. In other words, the Sixth Market is you, and you are changing the securities markets more profoundly than any force before you.
The emergence of the self-directed, electronic trader brings with it an overwhelming need for training. Despite their enthusiasm, most people entering the markets today simply do not have the skills and experience to trade effectively. Put another way, if they don't learn to trade, they are broke!
The authors have been involved in trading, and training, for years. We often have wondered why so many of the "educational experts" have insisted on making learning to trade so hard. Learning to trade does not have to be difficult, or intimidating, or complicated, or boring.
As authors, we have taken a different approachwe make learning fun. We also keep everything simple and cover only the things you need to know to start making money right now.
In Part One, we explore the origins and the ongoing metamorphosis of securities trading. To know where you're going, you first must know where you've been. The first five markets are entertainingly explained.
