Firstly, I totally spaced out. April is the 2 year anniversary of The Essentials of Trading being released by my publisher Wiley. I can’t believe it’s already been two years!
Of course the really cool thing was getting on Amazon’s Top Seller list shortly after the release.
But back to current times.
It’s been an interesting last month. Blog traffic hit an all time high, mostly thanks to the month’s most popular post The Secret to Trading Success. When I wrote that post I had no idea how big an impact it would have. In just about a week it became the second most popular post ever for this blog. That’s pretty amazing. I’m glad it positively impacted so many people.
The remaining top ten posts for April were, in order:
- My First Major Lesson: Trade to Your Personality
- Understanding Open Interest in Futures and Options Trading
- Learn How to Trade and Get Started in Trading
- Good Trading Doesn’t Happen Overnight
- What’s the secret to making a living from internet based forex trading?
- New Trading and Investing Education Efforts Coming
- A Trading Podcast Survey of Sorts
- Taking Time Off from Your Trading
- If You’re Going to Provide Advice on Trading, Don’t Be Ignorant
Popularity is based on a combination of post views, links in from other blogs, and comments.
