If you get it, get the study guide along with it. As I'm still learning, it made the reading less dry and was good with review. It's classic, and will probably be more applicable when the market settles down into some more reliable patterns instead of reacting to war news.

Thanks to all. Actually, I am making money in the markets, albeit in small amounts in 100 and 200 share sizes. Trying to learn without getting killed. This post actually was supposed to appear a couple of months ago, but due to technical difficulties just appeared. I did the trial on...

futures?

OK, Tampa, I hear you, but... We've lived in Kansas City, Denver, Colorado Springs, Tampa (Brandon, to be exact), and Dallas. We liked Tampa the best. Especially Brandon/Valrico. Reasonable housing, decent schools, very friendly people, and decent access to inshore saltwater fishing...

If you want water, Sarasota is beautiful. We lived in Tampa for years and loved it. For more solitude, but close to Tampa and reasonably priced, try Bradenton.

This is why I love you guys (and gals....!)

Found these guys offering really good packages on MetaStock and TradeStation packages with all the plugins and realtime access for huge discounts. <p> They are at www.geocities.com/profitsign<p> Anybody had experiences with them?

Windows ME. I highly recommend another.:confused:

My problem may be compatability with my operating system, we discovered today. They are very responsive when you call.

If you had to choose,as a new swing trader, one of these paid services to use for education and setups, which would you choose? Pristine.com hardrightedge.com (Alan Farley) tradeideas.com tradingmarkets.com (Haggerty) Lawrence Connors Trade Prospector

I'm testing out Trade Prospector for the 2 week trial. Downloaded this weekend, it looks promising. I'll let you know how it goes.

If you're not committed to eSignal, there is a QCharts/MetaStock lease for $200/mo.

I'm having a bigger problem, taking profits too early, not letting 'em run. New traders disease...too easily excited.

I'm moving to Tampa in 6 mos. Lived there once, loved it. Also like the mountains of Colorado.

That's my understanding. Check the CME site at www.cme.com. That's where I got my info. Thinking of trading them instead of ETFs, partially for tax purposes. Of course, I have to profit first:p

You're right about order cancellation. Happened again today. Worked after a reboot, though.

So, I can't elect mark-to-market with a full time job? That means, if I lose more than $3000, it won't be deductible, right? I did think, however, that the IRS allows investment publications and some costs associated with those investments (fees, etc.) to be deducted, even if held short...

60/40.

Well, it happened again today. I'm a new swing trader (moving up from Ameritrade), but of the six round trips I've placed with MB, I've had to call to change or sell because of the orders not executing and locking. Cost me almost .65 in two trades, fortunately I made a profit anyway. If this...

I'll trade it based on other indicators. Might be good to play some money moving from retail stocks. Probably go long a couple of stocks bouncing off support. The January effect is also the result of money moving into institutions from 1st of year pension contributions.
