yes, im under no delusion that someone is going to mentor or offer up specific strategies. all im asking for is just REAL TALK. like, is what is offered in popular technical analysis books of any value? if not, then how does someone even begin to know what to look for? could they teach what...

i love your 'cycle' thread from earlier, it was so spot on. everything you said was exactly how i felt. (except the feeling good about posting on the forum part) i didnt really get any good feelings from that. :p

Please tell me how to become an equity trader. I spent a ton of time on futures, failed miserably. Actually it wasn't all that dramatic. Just coin flip trading at best. I've been had by a guru. Yes, I've learned about patterns, patterns that have a minuscule edge at best only to be wiped away...
