threei's book is good, i have it. but not the first on your buy list (there are books more important). "How I made $2M in the stock market" by Nicolas Darvas" - classic. "Trading for a Living" by Elder - good. He's not really a trader but the book is very good for a beginner, i doubt...

oh yes, forgot to mention that. many questions repeated word for word on the exam itself.

reminiscences of a stock operator

no, it is advanced. spreads straddles etc. the questions are not difficult but you must know the theory inside out. i recommend the "dearborn's series 7 drill and practice" product. it's a practice CD arranged by topics and you can also choose to simulate complete exams. it's really a gem. i...

you'll be surprised how many can't make it even on paper, without the money-related emotions. apparently even when money is not on the line, there's a slew of other emotions and beliefs that sabotage the trader. as Samson77 said - it's all about acquiring good habits. if you're consistent on...

incorporate time into your analysis as well. price time and volume. in that order of priority.

MBT is unreliable and has an amateur platform. i highly recommend IB.

search this forum for previous threads about MBT. you might change your mind about opening an account with them.

they all provide extensive training consisting of a multi layer program: 1. Brainwashing you about how much $$$$$ their traders make and how you can be just like that if you trade well. 2. Explaining to you that trading well means practice, practice, practice, so you should make A LOT of...

you can subscribe to his free newsletter on his website. i am subscribed for about 2 years already. in his newsletter, he promotes himself to no end and delivers absolutely ZERO content. from time to time he makes a prediction which, as long as i followed, was always wrong. i stopped...

here's a comparison: http://www.av-comparatives.org some are officially free and some are not.

i am surprised this classic wasn't mentioned yet: http://stockcharts.com/education/

it's not BECAUSE they ask you to put money, then they are scum. but props that don't ask for deposit definitely have something to offer the trader they hire - otherwise, how will they profit? while for the classic prop (bright, generic, etc.) - they'll profit by simply having the trader...

you know some guy posted some time ago about getting a deal at a firm with no deposit what so ever. he went on to define what we call prop (e.g. generic) as "bucket shops, not true prop. with a true prop you don't deposit money". well said.

no, they hire suckers, of course.

ok, let this be the accurate description then.

do you need to see all dogs to conclude that all dogs have a tail, excluding extremely rare exceptions?

had a friend who was trading at Generic, when he left, he had to do some shouting to get his money back. i don't know what crossed their mind - that he'll forget about his money if they delay the wire to his account? freaking assholes. mschey, all props are scum and your new prop firm will...

while hardly a perfect method, and you may end up not gaining on trades which you should have gained on, the method seems to keep the risk capped. i can't see any 'holes' in it, risk wise. slippage could happen but unlikely on the ES if you take a small position, which i assume you do.
