They fantasize about buying that condo in Boca Raton for their parents or surprising their son with a brand-new car on his 16th birthday. They even begin to imagine themselves opening their own trading firm or milling about the pit of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange  lobbying against other professional traders for the perfect entry into a once-in-a-lifetime trade. But then  they watch the markets lurch in wildly unpredictable ways  lose their shirts in a few live trades  and then freeze in their tracks  wondering if they will ever be able to consistently trade in a manner that can even loosely be defined as profitable. To be sure  becoming a full-time  professional trader  working at a proprietary trading firm  or managing the trading activity of a hedge fund may sound like the perfect career  but its all too easy for beginner traders to overestimate their trading abilities  underestimate the movements of the markets  and find themselves in a financial hole of epic proportions after a few bad trades. So what does it really take to make a living in the markets? Tim Bourquin  co-founder of Traders Expo and the Forex Trading Expo and founder of TraderInterviews.com  and freelance writer and editor Nick Mango set out to answer that exact question in Traders at Work  a unique collection of over 20 interviews with some of the worlds most successful professional traders  from at-home hobbyists who have opened their own firms to those working at hedge funds  on proprietary trading desks  and in exchange pits. What mistakes did Anne-Marie Baiynd make early in her career? What does Michael Toma wish he had known about trading? What trading strategies work best for Linda Raschke? How does John Carter remain cool  calm and collected when the markets are sending mixed signals? And how did Todd Gordon make the transition from part-time to full-time trader? Bourquin and Mango ask all of these questions and more in Traders at Work and in doing so reveal insider insights on what it takes to be a successful trader from those who are living that dream. Fascinating  compelling  and filled with never-before-told stories from the front lines of the trading arena  Traders at Work is required reading for anyone who has ever asked themselves if they have what it takes to trade for a living.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44985179734069,"sku":"ByrdShop_1430244437","price":31.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781430244431.jpg?v=1770850675","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/traders-at-work-how-the-worlds-most-successful-traders-make-their-living-in-the-markets","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
