Overall didn’t accomplish much today. I did finish going through the rest of my bookmarked threads for useful attachments (found a couple), finding some new resources that might show new PA patterns, and wasted a decent amount time trying to figure out what a Ross hook was before going...

Just heard of it for the first time today. Searched for it for a long time on google, but I'm about 99% sure traders are not trading the 3 bedroom formation lol. A link will do great. Greg

This thread is a bit off topic though. Has anyone taken any behavioral finance, and can reflect on that with any trading application?

Interesting idea. I like sociology a lot, but haven't yet taken any psychology. I don't think philosophy is at all useless, TSGann; it is the educational environment in which it is taught. In a class of 100, in which the tests are on memorizing theories and logic, maybe only 5 will ever be...

Lol. The funny thing about those arguments is that its only their abstractness that makes them popular; nothing useful. Have any class suggestions?

Thanks for the link, Bootsie. I actually have that one bookmarked and on my to read list when I have time, but I'll subscribe to it and keep with it.

I thought I would post this separately because I think it is extremely important. When it comes to trendlines, I have found that there are three stages of trendline time definition. The first and worst is the "classic" trendline connecting extreme lows to extreme lows, etc. The problem...

I agree that fundamentals are important, and from what I can tell with macro traders from my book is that their strategies are based mainly on interest rates, and trying to determine when they will be cut before their cut. It's all very interesting to me, but I figure I will get better...

Forgot to note that I'm not entirely against long-term trading, I just don't think it's the wisest think for me to do right now. I think I will try to run the mock mutual fund at my school (manages like 4 million) when I'm an upperclassman and perhaps go into a career in hedge, global macro...

Feel free to question or challenge anything I say. I like re-analyzing the things I do and hearing other points of view.

Good question, Cutten – I have been thinking about it all day. I have a very short time frame for several reasons. Firstly, it is clearly the fastest way to learn about the markets – market patterns, the mental aspect, etc. I like learning a lesson, learning something new, or finding...

Chapter 7 - The Treasurer Dr. John Porter I think another one had similar ideas, but I just finished that chapter and it triggered my questions.

Inside the House of Money by Steven Drobny Thanks for the ideas for developing a macro view. I put it on my to do list for this summer. I will reply in more depth and talk about this in my other thread (my journal) that you replied in shortly. Can you link me to that thread? I found...

I have an outside idea. Go contact some hedge fund companies and see what you can get out of them. You can pretend like you are looking for a job when you graduate and see what kind of background they are looking for, any books or material you should read, and overall anything you can do to...

I agree with all of you, and especially well-written Schizo. I have noticed this with trading myself. It seems I should explain my question much further, though. I am reading a macro prop trader / hedge fund book and a trader was talking about making trades based on the opinions of the...

Forgot attachment

Today I decided to spend time going through my market observations document (cut three pages of bullets down to one to find charts and such for), finished making my screenshots from last night (had plenty), and also spent some time going through some charts on forexfactory. I would like to...

Can anyone reflect on taking college psychology or behavioral finance with trading? Never thought about it with the number of psychology and trading books out there, but a couple traders said they thought it was the key to the markets. Thanks

Inside the House of Money by Drobny is what you're looking for. Can you reflect on the market wizards books? The reviews here look great, but what should I know about it? The reviews for Drobny's book are in the miscellaneous section

If you've read Suri Duddella's book you he shows parabolas retracing to the .618, and I have been watching many of them. Been watching it with the USD/CHF closely (hoping I can make a little parabola collection once this thing settles in the next few days/weeks :) ) Just my input
