    What you’re proposing is to become a Jack of all trades. I’ve got some bad news.

    In the real world, one of the most important skill a trader needs is the ability to take losses.

    If a trader cannot take losses, then he cannot trade, regardless of how much he knows about the markets.

    Most traders struggle with taking losses, so they waste years looking for a holy grail and “learning more” as you propose until they either give up or finally realize that what happens in the markets is a mirror of what’s going on inside their heads.

    PS: The best traders practice simplicity.

    Fortunately I don't have to read those things.


    I read hundreds of trading books.
    After that,
    I had to spend tons of resources to decontaminate/cleanse my mind.

    Only read trading books written by the professional traders & not writers.


    Those who can trade, trade.
    Those who cannot trade, write.

    Some people believe that ET is for beginning traders.

    Some people believe that ET is for Elite traders.

    Yet, in reality, most of the time ET is a just great place to come for some entertainment :D
