For over two hundred years in England, the name Anderson was associated with power and wealth. Albert Anderson, at twenty-one years of age, was the future heir of the Anderson fortune, and like his ancestors before him, his early years were spent sowing wild oats. That is until his grandfather asked him two simple questions, "What are your goals in life?", and "What are your dreams for the future?" Astounded, young Albert could not answer, nor did he know. The next few days, though, would change his life forever. Would he continue to let himself be used by his conniving mother or step into the long line of fortune makers? Or something altogether different? You may be astounded at his decision. This is the life story of young Albert.

Trading strategies always look great on paper. But when it comes to trading in the real world, market chaos and human unpredictability often make even the best strategies seem inadequate to the task. The hard truth all traders eventually learn is that trading is far more difficult when your chips are down and the pressure is on. In the tradition of Edwin Lefèvre’s legendary book Reminiscences of a Stock Operator, Don Miller’s Chronicles of a Million Dollar Trader offers an inside look at the ups and downs, failures and victories of one of the few traders to have ever earned $1 million in a calendar year by trading futures intraday. In this detailed journal, Miller lets you peek over his shoulder as he tiptoes through a minefield of potential mistakes, miscalculations, and self-defeating behaviors in search of consistent profits. Along the way, he shares trading diary excerpts from 2008 to 2012, as well as his actual performance for every futures trading day from 2004 to 2011—almost 2,000 days worth of real trading results and analysis. You’ll follow along as the challenge of everyday trading teaches Miller the importance of focus, motivation, controlled aggression, and just showing up—especially on those mornings he’d rather sleep in. As you track his progress hour by hour and day by day through the journal, you’ll see how he recognizes his strengths and weaknesses, reaches or falls short of his daily goals, analyzes his results, and applies everything he learns to future trades, including valuable insights gleaned from sports, poker, and life. If you’re thinking of quitting your day job to be a full-time trader, Miller offers a clear-eyed look at what you’re getting into. His path to success was rocky, with ecstatic highs interspersed with intermittent setbacks. Despite his well-crafted plan, his intelligence, and his dedication, Miller began his trading career the way so many others do—with losses due to a lack of training and a poor business plan. Though he learned his lesson, ate his humble pie, and got back into the game successfully, there’s no reason for you to repeat his mistakes. Chronicles of a Million Dollar Trader reveals how successful trading is about much more than reading charts, because you’re not just playing the numbers—you’re competing against the markets, other traders, and yourself. Much like a sport, winning is the result of good planning, practice, and execution, and if you’re not on your game, then you’re already on your way to losing. If you’re a full-time trader, part-time trader, or just considering becoming one, this insightful, revealing look inside Miller’s mind offers vital lessons on how to trade like a champion.

Carport in a raging static electrical gale Road 1-A Detour From the "Normal Life"Gentlemen, Line Up Your Cars, Start Your Engines, Green Flag, Gun Your Engines, Go Genesis of the epilepsy, the beginning of the Electric Highway and the ups and downs of epilepsy, depression Regent Jacksonian, my first neurologist, said "I've seen these many times before. When adolescence ends, your seizures will stop." My seizures will stop when adolescence ends; that was seven or eight years; seven years seemed a lifetime, eight years seemed an eternity. So began the mounting frustration and exasperation. That statement has echoed in my mind during a 40-year prolonged adolescence. The brain is like a car's engine-it controls what we do and where we go and some of us have faulty electrical systems. In adolescence, testosterone shifted my brain into overdrive and flicked the seizure switch that controlled the firing of my spark plugs to the off position-it has remained there for over four decades. At the end of my sixth-grade-year during the hot summer of 1974 my engine overheated and I had two tonic-clonic-known at the time as grand mal-seizures. At the time I experienced ictal (seizure) amnesia. So began a 42-year-journey on Epilepsy's Electric Highway. The fictitiously named Regent Jacksonian died in 2007 of liver cancer.Memories of events prior to that time became vague and uncertain-except for certain notable exceptions. In third grade, my crush on Wendy-a redheaded, emerald-eyed girl-and in fourth, fifth, and sixth grades, Sarah-a sapphire-blue-eyed blonde, with perfect teeth who filled my thoughts and dreams.Double Vision in the Fun House and the Wild Carnival Ride of LifeThe first drug I was put on was Tegretol (carbamazepine), it had absolutely no effect in controlling my seizures-it gave me double vision (diplopia), and ringing in the ears (tinnitus). I was then put on Dilantin (sodium phenytoin), the third drug used to treat seizures-first-bromides, second-phenobarbital, third-Dilantin-the tonic-clonic seizures stopped. I was referred to Regent Jacksonian. They progressed to absence-then known as petit mal-and to complex-partial Epilepsy. He put me on Depakene (valproic acid), a fairly new drug at the time, it was released to the public about the time I was officially diagnosed, and Mebaral (mepho-barbital) in addition to the Dilantin. They used to use bromides for sleeping powders; it is no wonder that it turned you into a zombie.
