The Diary of a CFD Trader

Jacket text for The Diary of a CFD Trader

Catherine Davey's book is a practical introduction for new CFDs traders. It explains the mechanics of trading and the language and jargon surrounding CFDs. It also shows more experienced traders how to trade effectively enough to generate a decent income stream from the product.

At the heart of this book is a 4-month diary that Cat keeps while trading an initial $13,000 account. Over the first month the account plummets to around $8000, but then skyrockets to $28,000 and beyond.

The psychology and decision-making that Cat goes through is fascinating; the book tells of joys, irrational actions, depressing losses and big wins.
