Didn't Mark Douglas write Trading in the Zone?

Did you try the "Books" link that is at the top of every page of this website? There are a lot of good ones there.

One of the problems with a site that lets people post for free is that we may see things we do not like and there is not much we can do about it. I like this site very much. No one is forcing you to read this thread, or to stay on ET at all for that matter.

I apologize if my original tone sounded rude, I didn't mean to be. I just wanted to make sure that you were ready to begin a very difficult journey and was concerned that a few months might not be enough time. I personally do not trade full time. When I do trade, my results are mediocre at...

I have not looked, but you may be able to find out where he is domiciled by looking at the WHOIS for his domain.

Kind of funny. But seriously, if you guys really are battling in court, do you both really think it is wise to keep conversing here on ET with each other? Didn't your lawyers tell you not to talk to each other without their presence until the trial is over? Doing so may be detrimental to...

Your first post to this board was in February 2004 saying that you want to get into trading. It is now April and you say you are ready to take the leap. Are you sure you are ready?

I truly hope that is the case.

I just started reading Trading in the Zone by Douglas. Hopefully I will gain at least some insight into some of my issues...

Where do you guys trade Coffee & OJ? I have an account with IB but was under the impression that I cannot trade those commodities with them since they are not traded electronically... Thanks

You should keep in mind that the answer with the most responses is not necessarily the best answer. I answered 0-1 hours, but I am sure my results would improve if I studied more. It is just hard for me to get into the groove (kind of like working out...)

I am not too good with chart patterns, but is that supposed to be a head & shoulders pattern? How do you know it is a reversal and not a continuation?

Guys, jscript.encode does not actually encrypt code, it just encodes it so it is more difficult to read with the human eye. Many people besides hackers would use it. For instance, companies would use it if they write proprietary JScript but do not want the public to see the code. If you want...

This is true. However, it was a major bull market so the market was going up a majority of the time... I know people that knew nothing about the markets and were buying and selling for the stupidest reasons and were making decent money because the markets were trending up during that time.

I think a lot has to do with the bid / ask spreads. Back in the day, it was easy to buy on the bid and sell on the ask to make an easy spread, but today it is a lot more difficult since many spreads are around a penny or so...

I guess I am the only one... (sniff)

So is that a recommendation to purchase the Cubes?

It also depends on market conditions. During the Internet bubble, many people *thought* they had mastered the art. However, they were given a rude awakening when the market crashed. You will know if you are truly skilled if you can profit consistantly in any market condition and direction.
