I see some value with paper trading: if you can't make money paper trading, you probably won't make it trading real money either. -- ITZ

Hello, I have studied/attended/reviewed numerous books, videos, seminars and software, like many of you. As they stand by alone all by themselves, they generally are not worth the money. I examined the techniques they described, and found for the most part that they do not test out as...
