| Detailed description
You're a trader. You live a life of glamour, fast cars, leisure and luxury -- everything you've ever dreamed of ...
Of course, that's until you discover that trading can be brutally difficult. If you play the trading game, you are going to make mistakes -- maybe even some like these:
* agonising endlessly over when to enter or exit a trade
* trading like a maverick, risking too much of your capital
* beating yourself up when a trade goes against you
* losing $1 million in a single trade
* clicking 'buy' instead of 'sell'
* buying 10 000 units when you only meant to purchase 1000.
