I am really beginning to wonder how much dark pools are affecting trading.. secretive trading, renders the analysis we all do to equalize the field of trading.. useless! All info is NOT included in the data we analyze! Traders unite!! We really need to send letters to ALL the regulatory...

Yes! This is the way I did it! I studied engineering.. when I discovered the markets I immediately quit all work during "bankers hours" in order to study the markets real time. You need to live it +breathe it! Cut your costs, live frugally, think independently.. build a small stake, while...
