I would like to thank Anna Safonova, my favourite and reliable life partner, for her invaluable help in working on this book. For her patience, kind criticism and faith in our projects, the success of which is largely due to her.
I thank Arseniy, my son and trusted colleague, for his trust, openness and calmness during any market fluctuations. And for his successes, which as a father I am as proud of as I am of my own.
I am sure that his journey as a cryptocurrency trader is just beginning, and the skills and personal qualities he has developed over the years will ensure his success at every stage of his growth.
One of the hallmarks of our time is the availability of education. Today's students are taught skills in school that their parents could only acquire after college. Thanks to advanced technologies, we can learn at any age and study several disciplines at the same time in different educational institutions without leaving home. The duration of study has also been shortened, and specialization has become narrower. You can acquire the necessary knowledge and choose the best teachers in a specific field within a year or two. This means that after a few months of training, the knowledge can already be turned into income: earning money in a new career field and gaining experience.
However, there is a problem: we are not changing as fast as the technologies around us. A schoolchild can learn several professions and earn a living even before entering a university, but he is still a teenager with a fragile mental state, little life experience, and a great desire to succeed. That's why schoolchildren need the help of adults, especially their parents, during their studies and choosing a future career.
My goal is for my son Arseniy to grow up being a self-sufficient and independent person with universal life skills, independent of employers, politics, and government, so that he will have a job that will feed him from anywhere in the world with Internet access and a computer. That is why we chose crypto trading – a skill that is easy to monetize.
But it's not all about the money. Studying trading involves gaining knowledge in various fields – analytics, programming, and statistics. During training, a lot of attention is paid to the development of relevant psychological qualities – endurance and speed of decision-making, professional hygiene, and self-control.
Today I can sum up the progress we achieved. Arseniy is 17 years old, he is still in high school but has already become financially independent, i.e., he supports himself by trading. Three years ago, I would have called him a newcomer to the cryptocurrency market. Two years ago, he was quite a successful trader but kept learning. A year ago, he mastered scalping, the toughest and most lucrative specialization in trading.
At the same time, he began to host his own training programmes and streams from trades in English. Now Arseniy manages clients' funds through CopyTrading exchange instruments, practices scalping and other trading strategies, works remotely and face-to-face in the dealing center, teaches beginners and continuously develops his professionalism. Let me remind you that he is only 17 years old and still studying at school.
When I decided to write this book, I set two goals for myself. First, as a father and mentor with extensive experience, I want to help everyone who chooses a career for themselves or their children. Step by step, Arseniy and I have come a long way, and now, together, we will tell you how to learn crypto trading, what dangers you need to avoid, and how to maintain a healthy mind in such a turbulent market.
Secondly, I would like to talk separately about scalping – the most exciting trading strategy in a relatively stable market. To truly understand the beauty of scalping, we must know how the cryptocurrency market works and how to cultivate the necessary emphasis-willed qualities of a trader.
