Scholars and statisticians have studied these cases to find out what went wrong and what lessons can be learned. This book isn't about a story with that magnitude. It covers one true story that you most likely have not heard of.

That's because it didn't involve public money or have a major impact on the world. Pension funds did not fall and the federal bank never had to intervene. Alan Greenspan never knew about this tale. If you are an ordinary retail trader then this book is one which you really should read because you will identify with it personally. It's the story behind a team, an experiment and a trading system called 'Grail'. Many ordinary traders just like you watched this story unfold in - It gave them hope that trading was a way for them to escape the drudgery that engulfs most people in our capitalist society; a way to beat the system.
Retail traders try system after system, one chart pattern after another, the latest indicator and auto trading robot all in the hope of finding the one that makes them millionaires.
This was one that almost made it into the history books. It fulfilled all the dreams of those traders. That story along with each post from that blog is revealed in this book for all to see. Month by month; post by post and trade by trade. You will be reading the views of the main player in this game looking back on what happened and commenting on what went wrong. You will also discover the exact system that was used and how deceptively simple it was.
You have the opportunity to try the system for yourself and possibly find a way forward with it. The story is a double edged sword. The system did make money and shedloads of it but was only saved by withdrawing from it in the nick of time. This book actually reveals the details that we have kept a very closely guarded secret for 10 years.
You will find out at the end of the book exactly what the system is, its parameters and the changes we made. Don't skip to that section though until you have read it all. You won't see the true power of simplicity until you understand the whole story.
I hope that you enjoy the book, but most of all hope that you will learn some lessons. If you manage to make the system work the way that we made it work, then all the best to you but please do let me know. As we pulled together the final results from our system testing it was music to all of our ears and exactly what we wanted to hear. We were a team of wannabe millionaire traders that were searching for the 'Holy Grail'; a trading system the delivered consistent results month in, month out over a long period. It all started in inside an Internet chat room on a website called moneytec.
Part of the website was a live chat room where inexperienced day traders exchanged ideas and trades as they went through their daily quest for riches. We were all inexperienced traders at the time, trying to find a way forward in this jungle that is the foreign exchange currency market. We all wanted the easy money, earning thousands a month so we could all retire to the sun. It's the dream of most people that enter this arena, attracted by flashy websites extolling countless opportunities for making money and tales of multi-millionaire traders.
The Internet is awash with pictures of someone lazing in a deckchair on the beach with the sea just a few feet away shimmering in the sun. The person in the deckchair has a laptop on a small table to their right and a straw hat on their head. A cool drink catches the sunlight and makes the lens flare on the photograph. The reality of choosing to trade the markets is something quite different.

Welcome to the real world of a retail trader. Please allow me to introduce you to the team in our story. The names of all participants have been changed to protect the identity and privacy of the people involved. Firstly there was me. I was known as 'Soultrader' on the forums and chat rooms and was an Internet entrepreneur.
In some circles I was a trading guru, in others I would later be seen as a charlatan having sold a few trading systems to wannabe traders; once a saleman always a salesman. Truth is that some found it hard to follow water down a plughole let alone simple trading instructions. I first entered the world of trading when a guy that had written a book on it bought a product from me. I had also seen a recent BBC TV programme showing this bunch of happy people on 8 a train sipping champagne.

The programme covered how they were making money by 'Spread Betting' on the financial markets. I started selling the ebook I had read for the author as I was pretty good at marketing things and of course I read it. Having finished the book I don't think any self respecting entrepreneur could have done so without deciding to 'have a dabble' and so I did.

It was a decision that would change my life. I began by trading the Dow Jones index and the occasional FTSE trade and it's whilst doing that I met the second member of our future team. Kev was based in New York and was a trading dynamo. Born to affluent Jewish parents he had his eyes set on Wall Street as a career.

His parents were both professionals in law and very successful too. Kev had a lot to measure up to. Kev entered the markets in traditional American style, with a whoop whoop and lots of noise. Aged only 22 when we first encountered each other he was the perfect age and had the right level of aggression and testosterone to either do well in the game; or to crash and burn quickly.
Youth is a double edged sword in this world where fortunes are made on the toss of a coin. Eventually we both moved into the currency markets. At this time in its history the 'Forex' FOReign EXchange market had beautiful trends that went on for weeks at a time. It was attractive to trend traders like us and eventually we made a complete move into this new arena. Most of the people in the chat room were Forex traders.
Some of them already had strong followings. Over time we would become both friends and occasionally adversaries. In those days I was very arrogant and was lacking the real skill that a trader needed; that being humility in the face of the markets. Bunnygirl did join our group for a while but she was happy to trade in her own way, doing a bit here and a bit there so the connection gradually weakened over time.
Thinking back it must have been an uncomfortable place for her to be when there were so many strong personalities together wanting to make millions. Angel was a trader living in Australia. Based in Adelade this true lady was a professional in the health field and her reasons for trading were to prop up her future pension in addition to her dream of living in Nice in the South of France. Angel was to become a pivotal contributor in the future when we began testing and tweaking our trading system.
Martin is a great guy and remains my main trading partner today. It was his initial system that our new system was to be based on. Martin was extremely analytical. Previous to entering the markets he had made over two million in the casinos by studying roulette and working out a system to beat it.
Add some electronic wizardry and he could walk into any casino anywhere in the world and make money on the spin of a wheel. Martin's skill was number crunching and chart study. If you needed a system back testing he would go through a whole year of one minute charts and come up with all the figures you needed. Truth be known, the guy is a genius but he'd blush if you said that and reply with "I just look at the numbers" He was also a master at chess, having played with some of the best players in the world in his younger days.
The final major contributor was a guy called Tony. He came from London and had a background in computer programming. He was a programming genius. In his early days he was the person that designed and made the old 'squawk boxes' in the trading rooms of London. Before the Internet speed increases of the new millenium squawk boxes were the primary method of communication in the trading houses of the world.

Tony loved programming. At one point he had what he called an automatic arbitrage scraper, a program that compared the prices of two brokers and when there was a mismatch he would trade the difference. He was banned from Oanda and several other brokers for having the ability to execute trades in milliseconds.
During news trades his trades would be in just split seconds before the broker could react, and he could exit exactly at the top of a move before the price turned. One such robot he created just aimed to take pips per trade when an arbitrage opportunity presented itself. The broker banned him and confiscated the account before he could get any money out. Tony was the person behind the automation of our trading methods. There were others involved including Whispy, Fluty and a couple of others that were along for the ride. The core of the team was me, Martin, Angel and Tony.
