Alan Oliver Is A Self Taught Trader Who Has Been Trading Markets Since 1989.

” Working for a major Australian bank in 1989 I was allocated shares in the bank at a staff bonus rate. This peaked my interest in share trading. Truthfully though, I was sceptical about trading. I really had no experience in markets other than the devastation of the 1987 crash and its effect upon my bank customers. Now I found trading to be interesting and as my shares recovered and began to rise I thought trading was easy. Everything I bought in the aftermath of the ’87 crash seemed to rally nicely. I was starting to make good money.

As in all ventures of ‘luck’, my luck soon ran out. My profits were eroded mainly through my inexperience and lack of knowledge.

I soon realised I had to learn more about trading if I wanted to be successful at it. By now the markets had taken all of my profits and I wanted them back! I studied book after book, read articles, hand drew charts. I began to make a list of all the things I did wrong. It was then apparent from my list that if I did not repeat any of my prior mistakes I had some chance of success. The profits began to return, albeit slowly. Many years later and with a ton of practical experience under the belt, trading has now become a way of life and completely addictive.

Some time ago some friends of mine were asking for some ideas on trading. I penned a few quick pages for them on the Fibonacci series. This little summary gave a review of one of my favourite tools. Probably the easiest to grasp for beginners, within no time at all the few pages had begun to circulate like wildfire. I thought it could be explained much better than my little summary, so the book Trading with the Gods was written. It very quickly became a big seller in my home country. People consistently remarked on its ease of purpose and its simple explanations that anyone could follow. Since then I have been asked for more and more information on other tools. The Gann material is something I have found to be extraordinary in market trading. Gann is certainly a controversial subject but I suspect that is due to bad interpretations of his coded material.
