Trading and The AtticFund

Whether you are a newbie or an experienced trader, you’ll no doubt agree that the online world is crammed full of people trying to get your trading attention. Most of these so called experts are just after our money. They don’t really gives a sh*t if we make or lose money from their advice, this just want to sell us their system. This attitude stinks. It’s true trading is a great way to make money, but it is not a quick fix. Expecting to make your fortune from trading simply by buying a ready made system is naive. If you are looking for this type of quick fix, then this website is not for you.

This blog is different. I’m not selling a system, I’m blogging about my Trading. This blog is my trading diary and its a critical part of my trading plan. Every trade I make is discussed and recorded on this website. Every success, every error and every trading thought I have is recorded on this trading blog. I’m really hanging out my dirty washing on this blog. If you follow my trading, you’ll come see that I’m not the worlds best trader – you may even be a more profitable trader than I am. My intention is not to boast about my trading, but simply to present an honest and open account of my trading business. This helps me to maintain my discipline and I hope that it will help some of you to improve your trading. Take a look around my trading room, read my trading plans and see how important discipline and money management are in my trading business.

In order to provide some structure to my trading, I set up the The AtticFund in early 2009. Click here to see how the AtticFund is currently doing.

I believe that trading is 90% mindset and discipline and 10% stock selection and yet most of the material you will find on-line is about stock selection. In order to test this theory I’ve decided to do something which I believe is pretty unique. I’m going to let my website vistors choose the stocks that I will invest in. This is perhaps not as crazy as it sounds. I’ll be explaining this ‘experiment’ in more detail very soon.

More and more people are now realising that Blogging offers a unique and real opportunity to make a good living from home. Take a moment to search the Internet for terms like ‘blogging’ and ‘monetizing your blog’ – what do you find? People selling ‘How to make money on-line courses’ . In fact there are probably more people selling courses about making money on-line than there are actually making money on-line!

So here is what I’m going to do. I’m going to share with you, step-by-step my approach to building an online business. In much the same way as I’m sharing my trading journey, I will be doing the same with my blogging exploits. You see, I am one of the believers, you can make money on-line, but it takes hard work, dedication and persistance – In much the same way that trading does.

But think of the rewards of operating your own business.

• No more commuting to the office
• No more office politics
• No more pointless corporate tasks, just to feather the caps of your bossses
• Set your own agenda
• Work from the comfort of your own home.

When I started my blog I had no readers, no content and very little understanding of what I was actually trying to do. As I became more experienced I slowly learnt some invaluable lessons about blogging including;

• Treat your blog like a real business
• How to set-up a blog
• How to make money from your blog
• Social Media
• How to keep your blog fresh and appealing

I intend this blog to serve as a blueprint for those who may need some guidance toward achieving their on-line goals.
