    Want What The Market Wants

    Want What The Market Wants

    Ok ... thanks for validating your post. I know B. Williams is into this new age mystic garbage. And I've seen a lot of people buy into this, and in three to six months, there's nothing left in their margin account. I have two of Williams's books ... "Market Chaos" I and II They're ok as...

    Want What The Market Wants

    Do yourself a favor and forget about this "universe/market" relation BS. You're supposed to be a trader, not an astrologer. Leave the soothsaying and fortunetelling to the morally corrupt. Although B. Williams does have experience in trading, he mostly echoes what others have told...

    How do you wait patiently?

    3 minute charts are fine for scalping and some day-trading. Trouble is that most 3 minute chart markets can confuse the issue with their "sqiggles and jiggles". Use a 30 minute chart and dial down to a 5 or a 3 minute chart. 30 minute charts are not manipulated as easy as lower time-frame...

    Series 3 course study material

    The toughest part of the series 3 is the hedging questions. Years ago, I took the test at a Sylvian testing center. The study I purchased was on a CD, and I cannot remember the company name I purchased it from, (sorry). If you get the hedging down, you should be ok. Here's an example...
