Fortunately for the reader Eva Diaz comes from a trading background herself which enabled her to
probe and cross examine these elite traders to find out what makes their minds tick, their trading methods and
computer setups. The result is an in-depth look at exactly what it takes to make extraordinary gains trading the
Australian market using CFDs, indicies and Foreign Exchange (Forex).
Real Traders 2 is a week by week look at exactly what Dave Limburg was trading,
what his thoughts were, how he analysed the market and ultimately the formula that lead to his success at claiming
the 'Number 1 CFD trader in Australia' title. For those of you who love statistics and detailed analysis,
Eva Diaz has compiled the exact trades that took Dave to the top and also those trades that nearly
lead to his demise.
'Eva Diaz's book is like setting right beside an
incredibly talented trader...'
Eva Diaz's Real Traders 2 is a powerful read because it's like sitting right beside an
incredibly talented trader as they compound crazy returns week after week. If tennis were you passion then reading
this book would be like sitting courtside at Wimbledon as Roger Federer takes on Rafael Nadal in a tense, nail
biting 5 set marathon. Very few books, with the exception of the Market Wizards series by Jack Scwagger,
will give you as in depth a look at what sets winning traders apart from the also rans.
What will blow you away is the aggressive nature the winners had with regards to leverage. What
might not be clear from reading the book was that one trader managed to make a mind boggling 2,000%
during the competition, only to fall away in the last 2 weeks and not even contend for the top 10 placings.
'Imagine being able to learn the top CFD traders
key secrets to success...'
The reality is all traders, like fisherman, have their stories to tell. Eva Diaz weaved her
magic as she got each of the gun traders to reveal their prized secrets but most importantly their biggest learning
mistakes during the competition. Dave Limburg didn't have it all smooth sailing and during one bad stretch managed
to take his worse loss on FLX as it stripped over $30,000 from his trading account. Hanging on for
dear life, he nearly gave up his $100,000 first prize towards the end as several positions turned bad and starting
leaking thousands of dollars from his account.
Chapter 8, Trade Management, goes into the very important aspect of managing losses and learning
how to bounce back. All traders have to learn to live with risk and loss, but it's not so much the losing that
makes or breaks a trader, but the recovery that counts. Real Traders 2 shows how some of
Australia's best CFD and Forex traders learn to bounce back from adversity.
Eva Diaz literally keeps you on the edge of your seat as the competition
draws to a close. You can really feel the sense of urgency and nervousness each of the top 3 contenders had leading
to the final days as each had a very real chance of winning the mammonth $100,000 first prize.

"I threw everything into it. I started trading every single available
dollar in my account during the last week and traded way over my normal
range." "If it wasn't for the competition I wouldn't have traded like
that. I grew more aggressive during the competition."

"I traded more in the final week and became panicky at the thought that
I could win. What was going through my mind was that if I could only
hang in there and not make any big mistake or take any silly losses, I
could win the competition."
