Introducing TRAP Concept

Don’t get trapped! Market is a dangerous place for novice traders.

I have described the fundamental concepts of Price Action in the Part I, the basic knowledge which any trader needs. In Part II, I have illustrate seven TRAP setups you can find on any chart, along with examples and studies for you to better understand the TRAP concept. The only consistent setup you will find on every day, every market and every time frame.

• Common Trap
• The “Stop-Loss” Trap
• “The Giant” Trap
• “Failed Breakout” Trap
• “Back to Back” Trap (Double-Trap)
• News Trap
• Morning Specials

Trap setups come with minimal risk and maximum potential reward. It’s very simple to understand and exploit. This EBook is written in simplest English, that everybody can understand the complexity of market within 1 week.

I don't know why the reviews for this one are so good. But shit, I should've known that it was shit. I'm sure Ray Wang is a great trader, but boy, he can't write to save his life. And when you can't write well, you can't really teach well. You can't pass down your wisdom to your readers effectively and hence, muddying up the already murky trading waters. It's like I am reading another "masterclass tweet storm" from crypto-trading twitter world. It did feel like that, a tweet thread. It would've been an awesome tweet, but not a book.

I feel like I owe it to the other traders to say, if you are serious about becoming a great trader, hit the big books. Not quick reads like this. It takes a lot of seriousness and sincerity to learn whatever it is that he's explaining but those explanations are found in other books. He's teaching trading psychologies and traps like he's a friend from a Discord trading group, just blabbing in the chatroom. There's not much credibility, not because English is not his first language as he's apologised a few times in the book but because the mechanism of the practices he has laid out aren't examined and explained to their core.

Great book. Written for traders. Very helpful examples that make sense.

I would rate this book 5 stars for anyone who is trading futures. Couple of verbiage issues, but nothing that that would confuse a trader. Hope the author continues to write additional articles. The examples given are clear, concise and very accurate. Believe that the strategies discussed can be very enriching.

Amazing quick read. After reading, you'll look at the graphs with a different perspective. All concepts are explained with graphs which is really good. Straight to the point - no content filling.
At times (while reading) you can't help but feel that in the real world a lot of randomness always happens and you'll be thrown out of the trade prematurely no matter what.
This book definitely imparts some knowledge. Highly recommended.

The first chapter introduces us to the psychology of the stock market.
The author speaks about the various market traps both sellers and buyers can face in range-bound markets and how to use multiple trading strategies in a range. One thing I have understood from this book is how Wicks & Dojis are one of the most crucial factors while trading.

All is price action.

All the risk and reward is in price action.
Price action aleatoric.
Price action is simple and should be approached simply.
I will recommend this book for the open-minded and the simple.
Very well written.

Very nice book.. helpful for day traders

Very nice book book for day traders .. it introduces some concepts of trap. It would be helpful if some concepts are elaborated more. But it's a short book with no nonsense. I do feel it's incomplete. But it's a must read for day traders
