Book description
The Art of the Trade
is a searing portrait of the futures and options industry as seen
through the eyes of someone who has participated in this arena for more
than twenty years. On one level, it's a brutally honest,
no-punches-pulled look at the individuals and institutions that comprise
this unique community. On another level, The Art of the Trade
is a personal story of the challenges author Alan Jankovsky faced as he
battled the markets, the brokerage industry, and his own early penchant
for self-destruction. Jason Alan Jankovsky
is a twenty-plus year veteran of leveraged transaction trading. Trading
extensively in futures, options, and FOREX since 1986, first as a
customer and then as a registered broker, he is self-taught and
self-educated. Working in almost all facets of the business, he has
authored several trading systems, trained other successful traders and
has been published in many industry periodicals; his numerous articles
on global cash FOREX have appeared in TraderSavvy
, The Perspective
, SFO Magazine
, and other industry publications. He is the author of Trading Rules
that Work: The 28 Essential Lessons Every Trader Must Master
(Wiley), an Amazon top-100 bestseller in the category of futures. He
has focused on the psychology of trading as the key component to a
successful trading methodology and teaches a six-week course on trading
psychology every quarter to traders around the world. Jankovsky appears
