What New Trader U students are saying:
"It's simple, buy this book. It's an incredible value add for the money. Easy reading and direct to the point. In depth education on popular moving averages.

"Steve once again delivers on the message of building a strong foundation for which all your future trading is built upon. When focusing on the method, many market gurus or books talk about moving averages and to buy and sell there but the why's are missing. This book give an excellent explanation of the why's. You'll get a better understanding of the risk/reward of your purchase decisions using the information gained in this book. Also, I see few books that have better explained to me the questions I had regarding moving averages for the price it's selling at." – Frederick M Robles

New Trader paused in thought.
“If I’m not in control, then my emotions are based on my impulses, bad attitude, preconceived beliefs about how things work, the fight or flight instinct, and possibly a self-constructed ego that feels threatened by failure or maybe even by success.” New Trader said.
Rich Trader nodded. “You’re none of those things. Don’t let them control your mind and your actions.”
“But if I’m not any of those things, then what am I?”
“You are the witness. If you change your perspective and see these emotions for what they are, you are not them; you are human consciousness witnessing what comes into focus. You can let them take over or you can control your mind and your will. You let external elements influence your actions, or you take control of your emotions and can make decisions that take you where you want to go in life. It’s a choice and only you can make it.”
New Trader sat quietly. That was deep.
Join New Trader in the next installment of his trading journey. He's come a long way, but he still has much to learn from his mentor, Rich Trader. Learn more about entries and exits, trend following essentials, and risk management and psychology.
Praise for the first edition of New Trader Rich Trader 2:
As in all of Steve’s books, I am consistently amazed at how, despite his obvious mastery of our business, he can recall with intimate detail what it was like to make the full gamut of “New Trader” mistakes. “New Trader, Rich Trader 2” will have New Traders reaching for their highlighters, while Rich Traders smile knowingly at distant memories of painful missteps.
Wherever you are in the journey from New to Rich Trader, this book is an indispensable tool filled with lots of “Aha” moments. To Steve, congratulations on a job well done, and to all the New Traders reading this, pat yourself on the back for having found an indispensable aid in your journey from novice to pro.
Richard L. Weissman, Professional Trader and Author of Trade Like a Casino
From the introduction:
This book is written to help traders understand why they make poor decisions and how to solve these problems with a new mindset and mental management techniques.
The impact of stress when putting money at risk and experiencing wins and losses can bring out every mental and emotional weakness in a trader. Traders face uncertainty, stress, emotions, and ego as they try to execute their signals. Trading the markets with real money at risk is a different experience than backtesting, chart studies, and research. Spending time to lose money in trading is a different emotional journey than spending time to make money in a job.
If you’re reading this book as a new trader, you may be looking for ways to become more profitable by stopping destructive trading habits and learning to follow your trading plan more successfully. I’ve often heard new traders ask this question, “Why can’t I follow my plan?” A trader that feels out of control may ignore their stop-loss, trade too big, or take random trades in the hopes of making easy money. These are typical behaviors for someone who hasn’t mastered trading psychology. I have experienced all these things at one time or another over the past 30 years, and I experienced some painful losses before I learned to overcome my impulses.
In this book, I will explain how to manage your thoughts, ego, and emotions to become a successful and profitable trader. You can learn to follow your system and deal with losing and winning trades in a thoughtful and meaningful way that doesn’t lead to ruin. If you’re reading this book, you’re taking the first step, and one of the most important steps, on your trading journey.

New Traders are greedy and have unrealistic expectations; Rich Traders are realistic about their returns.
When New Trader awoke bright and early, he could feel his excitement building with every second.
Turning on his computer, he thought about all the hard work that went into building his account; all the hours of overtime at his first job, and delivering pizzas on weekends.
That part of his life was now over. His heartbeat quickened as he typed in his username and password. And there it was, his $10,000 trading account.
He was ready.
How could he not be? He had been trading through simulated accounts for over a year, watched financial news, and followed trading gurus online.
The way he saw it, it was easy...
Follow the journey of New Trader as he learns just how challenging trading can be! Explore psychology, risk management, and methodology in this revised and updated, best-selling classic!
Praise for the first edition of New Trader Rich Trader:
I love the structure of this book: Steve Burns points out huge differences between winners and losers in every area of the market. Each chapter takes up a pair of opposites, such as "New Traders try to prove they are right; Rich traders admit when they are wrong." Dozens of such pairs offer a psychological mirror to serious readers.
-Alexander Elder www.elder.com
Here is a work that puts the reader in the mind of a fledgling trader who makes all the mistakes then learns from them.

-Dr. Chris Kacher, co-founder of www.SelfishInvesting.com and co-author of "How We Made 18,000% in the Stock Market"
You have done a truly tremendous job with this book! A breezy read with essential trading advice. I think this book could become a trading classic! So many great rules are offered in this book, but I think my favorite might be Chapter 8's. It is SO true! Just printing out the title of each chapter and putting it on your desk would greatly benefit every trader I know. Steve, you've done a great job!
-Darrin Donnelly, DarvasTrader.com

HOW TO READ CANDLESTICK CHARTS
A candlestick is a type of chart used in trading as a visual representation of past and current price action in specified time frames. Depending on the time frame of the chart, each candlestick consists of minutes, a day, a week or a month trading range. On an intraday chart, a candle might represent periods of time like 1-minute, 5-minutes, 15-minutes or one hour. A daily shows candles that represent each day’s trading range. A weekly chart shows candles that represent each week’s trading range. A monthly chart shows candles that represent each month’s trading range. Note that during the day, a daily candle will change as the range changes and price reaches a final, closing price. Similarly, during the week and in the middle of the month, the candles in those time frames are still changing and are not finalized until their time frame closes. At the end of the day, week or month, the candle for that time period is finalized.
A candlestick consists of the body with an upper or lower wick or shadow. Most candlestick charts show a higher close than the open as either a green or white candle. The opening price as the bottom of the candle and the closing price as the high of the candle. Also, most candlestick charts show a lower close than
the open represented as a red or black candle, with the opening price as the top of the candle body and the closing price as the low of the candle body.
...and much more!
By the time you finish this book, I think you’ll agree that candlesticks are the best type of charts for most traders to use for trading price action patterns.
