I guess this leads to an interesting discussion, how do you best start the learning process in trading? I remember when I started I was totally...
This poor person is going to have a stack a mile high once this thread is over... Any ideas of how Yelitza can choose where to start? Perhaps a...
This thread is turning into a self parody, lol. As you can see Yelitza, everyone's got an opinion of what's more important. I think over the...
One important caveat with Malkeil: a lot of people who think ALL trading is just gambling often point to Malkeil's work. What I like about Adam...
Van Tharp also has a shorter book that might be good for a first read, Super Trader. As far as books on trading strategies are concerned, that...
Well I guess it depends on what kind of trading you want to get into. Naturally Hollywood isn't going to make a film where Gordon Gekko is sitting...

If you can find an edge trading that market who cares about how much 'deep liquidity' is in FX if you're a retail trader? I really could care less...
Very interesting point, Robert. I honestly thought it was the other way around at first. So then it basically comes down to commissions and...
I would disagree with Ditch in that 'price action' and 'drawing lines' is utter junk. This sort of 'utter junk' works for me quite well, as...
Thanks Bob, so you mean that if I trade my own account (brokerage), it's easier to verify my track record? I thought the opposite would be true,...
I concur with NoDoji on Bob Volman. Both books in my view are probably the best books on trading strategy I've ever come across, and I've spent a...
Thanks but I'm looking to trade remote, I already have my strategies.
Hi all... I'm looking to possibly expand into stocks, and I'm trying to make up my mind between going to a broker and a prop firm (trading remote...
Who cares? Even if OP has absolutely zero idea of how to trade and is about to plunge their savings into the ground, the forum is a knowledge...
