I’m going to add a few feature to the blog. Once in a while, I will be profiling a professional trader who I believe is someone you can learn something from. I feel that by doing this, you’ll be able to learn a whole lot more and expand your horizons to see all of the possibilities that exist in the trading universe. Each trader is specialized in a certain style of trading and has mastered it. I am profiling these traders so they can tell the rest of us how they became so successful in their own way. After all, no one stops learning, including me, and as long as you take away one big idea from these profiles, then I have done my job in furthering your education and development.

Today I want to profile Vadym Graifer of www.realitytrader.com. I wanted to discuss some of his works, trading methods, and market views. Let me give you an idea what I found about him as a trader, writer, and teacher. Turns out his trading style is very similar to mine (and he’s also a trading coach!). He was kind enough to provide me with an article on “Stops: Why Don’t We Keep Them?”, located be low the profile.

Author. Vad’s first book, Techniques of Tape Reading, describes his trading method. The first part of the book is devoted to a trader’s development and psychology. The second is about trading systems, with the principles of tape reading explained and categorized, and setups broken down by elements. The third part contains over thirty examples with all the ifs and buts. If you’ve enjoyed my articles on the application of tape reading, then you should read this book.

It’s built in a form of choices you need make, explanations of how to make them and showing your next step depending on those choices. It takes you from the very beginning to practical trading, not leaving a stone unturned.

Teacher. Vad has extensive experience as a speaker and is known as being a very clear, concise and logical presenter, keeping his audience at ease, comfortable, laughing and learning a lot. He spoke at many Traders Expo seminars in US, Financial Forums in Canada, and private seminars in both countries and beyond, including annual Cara Trading Advisors Conferences in the Bahamas.

I had a chance to have a peek into Vad’s new project. It’s planned to be finished before the year end and is one of the most fascinating writings on trading I’ve seen in a long while. Not to give away whole thing, but it’s an application of Taoism to trading, based on serious research of this ancient philosophy and turned into incredibly practical trading advice. From the piece I’ve read so far – you will want to read it when it’s published.

Talking to Vad, I sensed what I want to see in people I partner with – integrity and professionalism. Read his writings, I am sure you will too.
