Hello everyone! My name is James Brown and I have been trading for approx 4 years running. Something has been on my brain in the aspects of teaching beginning trades not to do the same things as we did(my calling I guess) so I decided to write a book as a start. Part of my reseacrh is to gather as much info as possible from other traders and there journey to success. I know part of my journey delt with wating to get rich quick but soon transitioned into something more. part of this book will teach individuals who want to learn how to trade but use mainly about the lives of others as a guide to success. if you would like to offer any and all info me me for the book I would greatly appreciate it. email [email protected]

9 mistakes in 144 words... your average book will have 200 pages or 50k words (I think) so there would be (If the writing is anything like the OP) 3125 mistakes.

My starting bid is 50p per error detected and corrected!

PS. That doesn't include correcting anything that doesn't show up in a spell check, such as sentences which are void of meaning, or at least seem to lack it.
Living the adventure in my head.

I've done a quick google search fearing that I was dead off with my 'average book' and 'words per page' claims... although I was pretty damn close with the average words per page the average book length is about 80k supposedly.

So that’s a possible 5000 mistakes. I'll lower my bid to £0.45 per mistake.

Does that 45p include an appraisal of content.....(heck at this rate you may as well write the flippin book yourself!)

Hey let's have a title competition, something funky and zany that makes you just wanna grab that book right off the shelf, "The Life and Journey of a trader" doesn't really do it for me.

not sure what happened to my original post, maybe it got deleted because it had a link in it? I don't own the site I was linking to.

anyway, I'll give the gist of my message:

I think far more important is finding out what forex traders want in a book. One of the easiest ways is to do some research on what forex traders are searching for on the internet. I just used an online tool to see which keywords were searched in the past year in the search engines related to forex, and here are the top searched keywords in the past 12 months:

Keyword Searches
forex 2,625
forex trading 1,485
forex trading software 1,150
forex trading online 1,080
forex trading school 819
forex secret trading 804
software forex 703
forex trading systems 690
forex tip trading 568
forex exchange 520
learn forex 465
forex trading easy 464
forex currency trade 458
forex brokers 435
learn to trade forex 385

Pick one of those topics. They may not be interesting to you, but thats what forex folks are looking for.

I'd probably do a book about forex software or something because thats a pretty heavily searched term.
