Sarvise, Thanks again. I`ll have to do some more research on my own then to find what suits me best. Good clues on what to look for. Knowing that 2 hours of active trading is sufficient is comforting to hear. I don`t know yet how much time I will need pre- and post-trading, but I suspect I...

Actually, I`m sorry you didn`t because that sounds kind of fun!:D

Hello increasenow, 1 - No trading for the time being. I hope to be ready to start watching and observing the markets in february or march. 2 - 0 3 - I`m not sure if I will trade Forex. If I were to do so, it would probably be the EUR/USD. Being consumed with one contract sounds wise in...

Hey Sarvise, Thanks for chiming in! Word of wisdom as usual:) Yeah, I was considering a blog, but I ended up writing it up here. Scalping to me is probably in terms of minutes. I tried it out shortly when I last traded with some success, but I did of course not really have a clue what...

Thanks for writing Ray, I`m hitting the books like a madman at the moment. I`ve already studied a few books on economics and I find it very interesting. Definitely helpful when it comes to understanding the bigger picture. Statistics is also something that I feel I should learn more...

I think it would be smart to learn a good amount of intellectual knowledge about the markets before even considering demotrading. Most people, including me, are not disciplined enough to do this and usually needs to loose substantial amounts of money in the markets before realizing this:)...

Who said anything about finishing only one book? Please read the whole thread and don`t be lazy. That`s not going to cut it:) I`ve studied more than 25 books including taking notes on each one the last two-three months. It`s a fulltime job baby. Actually, I`ve been quite busy finishing up...

Hey guys, did you miss me? I`m still alive and have not been sued by Wiley yet:D I am planning my future these days and I have decided that the best thing for me would be to get a job after Christmas. The main reason for this is that living with my parents is affecting my well-being...

Actually, I sent a mail to Wiley, but did not get a reply yet. Either they have not had the time to process it or they deemed it unsignificant - my guess. Back on topic. Finished The Candlechart Course by Steve Nison today. Awesome book. I have a whole new understanding of candlesticks...

My intention was never to plagiarize and I hope and believe it is safe to use it as a header:) Thank you.

Hey guys, I thought I just as well might start a journal right away, even though I`m not trading actively yet. Most of you probably don`t know me, but I started a thread here earlier this summer where I announced that I quit my job and ditched school to pursue trading fulltime. The...

Good to see that you`re still around yourself Jorge:) Thanks for the heads up. :) Haha. You`re a funny guy Mr. zozorock!:) Thank you for the book recommendations, the encouraging words and the good laughter(always makes a good start of the day)!:D Best regards, Johnny

Actually, that one is already in my shopping cart:)

Hey guys, I ended up following Sarvise`s advice on studying up on the books first. Makes sense. Since life happened to me as it always does, I did not get started fulltime until roughly 5-6 weeks ago. I will be reading full-time until next year. In january I will start watching the...

Thank you for the replies. Much appreciated:) Keep it coming:D

Hey guys, I`ve been studying a few books on technical analysis already and I`m hungry for more:) So far I`ve read a few in norwegian and these in english: - Technical Analysis For Dummies - Trading For A Living(not purely TA, but covers it to some extent) - How Technical Analysis...

Thank you very much for writing this FXAnalyst. It is definitely helpful. Best regards, Johnny

Absolutely. So far I`ve gotten great answers and I feel the path has become clearer. If you have anything else to add I would appreciate it a lot!:)

Awesome. Don`t have to waste my money on DVD`s then:)

youngtrader, Awesome to hear that you have made it so well that you can make a living on this. Congratulations!:) Thank you for your response and warnings as well. I`m starting to become aware of how hard this will be. Even more so after this thread:) I have not made a final decision...
