Conquering Your Trading Fears With Corey Rosenbloom

Corey Rosenbloom, Cm t, is the founder of www.afraidtotrade.com, a website dedicated to helping traders overcome their trading fears through education, and is the author of The Complete Trading Course (John Wiley & Sons, 2011), which outlines how to combine foundational principles, analysis techniques, and trade setups into a broader perspective. He began investing using fundamental analysis in 1998 during the runup to the market top in 2000, and the ensuing bear market opened his awareness to the field of technical analysis as a way to enhance performance and manage risk more effectively. Having also incorporated sector rotation and intermarket analysis into his investment and trading strategy, Rosenbloom switched to shorter time frame trading tactics to capture additional edge from the price action and trends. He began writing the afraidtotrade.com blog to share some of his experiences and define strategies, which detail his unique style of incorporating both the larger perspective of intermarket analysis with the shorter, intraday trading strategies that can be employed to minimize risk. St oCkS & Co m m o d i t i eS Editor Jayanthi Gopalakrishnan and Staff Bruce R. Faber interviewed Rosenbloom via telephone on April 4, 2011.
