Comments on The Subtle Trap of Trading

Reviews by Brokers with a combined experience of over 60 years trading
“Brian is able to help people understand why the odds are against them, as well as what you can do to turn those odds around in your favor.  As I read this course for the first time, I was struck by how many of the pitfalls he mentions that I myself went through as a developing trader.  I only wish Brian had published "The Subtle Trap of Trading" 15 years ago!

This course is trading 101 and should be required reading for every trader, in every market, at every experience level, period.”

"This is the first course in my 30 years in the business that seriously deals with the long standing statistic in trading - that 90% lose.  It's right on the money for traders that truly want to be successful without struggling through years and thousands of dollars in losses.

For any serious trader it is a must."

"Thanks again for giving me the opportunity to review your course. I thought it was 'outstanding' and very comprehensive. This course may help 'save' new and struggling traders from the painful and costly lessons that can and do occur in trading.

"The Subtle Trap of Trading" shows each individual what area they need to include or improve upon, based on their own input, and repair the 'chink' in their own armor and greatly improve their likelihood of success.

I am personally recommending this course to all my clients."

"The Subtle Trap Of Trading" is an absolute must to have in your trading library. Too many traders think that the system or method is the be all and end all of trading.

There simply isn't enough attention to the psychology of trading and the correct approach that needs to be adopted. Brian McAboy has done an excellent job in walking through the must-know steps in order to become a successful trader."

"This course is a must for all who are serious about becoming a successful trader.  How can an endeavor like trading that appears so easy to accomplish be so difficult?  Indeed, why do 90% of all traders end up net losers? 

"The Subtle Trap of Trading" does a masterful job of answering these question by exploring the all important psychological aspects of trading that the unwary trader falls victim to time after time.  But the book doesn't stop there.  Constructive suggestions are offered on how to harness these psychological pitfalls and actually turn them to the trader's advantage, giving the trader an edge in the markets that few possess."

"It doesn't matter whether you are new to trading or have been at it for years. The Subtle Trap of Trading is a must read.

Author Brian McAboy goes to the very root of trading in terms of both its appeal and the pitfalls that lure creates. He outlines why you can easily find yourself doing things as a trader you would never have thought you'd do - things seemingly completely out of character.

More importantly, though, Brian explains in clear terms how you can avoid the trap and provides exercises to help you along the way. For that reason, The Subtle Trap of Trading should be near the top of your trading reading list."

"Bottom line is that Brian gives the trader a blueprint for STRUCTURE, both mentally (your emotions, etc.) and physically (choosing a trading system, running your trading business).

He gets your mind and self set to win... and not get caught in the very subtle yet powerful mental and emotional trap that brings most traders to ruin.

As you can imagine, with me being in the mental training for traders business, I was
delighted to see someone delve into and try to rescue misguided traders... which, sadly,
are most traders.

Bravo!"

"The “True Secret” To Profitable Trading:

After 15 years in the markets and having placed hundreds and hundreds of trades I can tell you with ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY that how you think will ultimately determine your success or failure. The bottom-line is that you can have the best system in the world, but if you can’t handle the stress of trading you will struggle to make a living.

Unless you can maintain rock solid discipline over your emotions, you will end up being another trading casualty. The “Inner Game” of trading is a struggle because when you are trading with real money, fear and greed can make you do some really stupid and costly things. (I can testify to that!)

A new program that I have come across, "The Subtle Trap of Trading", is ideal for getting your mind into “Olympic Shape”.

It will give you a clear step by step approach to ensure that you maintain discipline over your emotions. As a result you will trade with more confidence and way less stress. You will also develop a laser like focus which will ultimately help improve your results. This really is a must for any trader that is truly serious about being a success."

"Brian's book is an ingenious work. It illuminates the path one needs to achieve success in the world of financial trading and it is sorely needed. The staggering amount of money and time I spent becoming a successful trader could have been easily reduced by 2/3 had I followed the outline Brian presents. Its a gift."

"This book is beyond awesome.  I've been trading for years without consistent success.  One year ago I started working with a trading mentor.  This was my first step to successful trading.  Your book, Subtle Trap of Trading, distills into a short reading what I finally began to learn after a year of studying.  The method for identifying the chinks in one's armor is fantastic.  I have little doubt that this will accelerate my growth in consistent, profitable trading."

"I feel like I am on to something here, like I am truly on the path to becoming a successful (profitable) trader. I breezed through all the material, and realize now that I have undertaken quite a task, getting through all the information and such-- and this is only DAY TWO!! I'm determined to see it all through, though. I know this is just the beginning of a journey of great distance, but these first steps encourage me to take all the rest."

"The Subtle Trap of Trading by Brian McAboy should be required reading for any trader at any experience level. It is not only well written, its message is important and targeted to assist traders of any market at any stage in their trading journey. It is tailored to the individual trader so that the honing of the trader's point of view and style is the area that gets the needed attention. Terrific Value! Great Job Brian!"
