    Wanted ACME Book & CD suite/ Becoming Fluent in EL Book

    if you are trade futures-then-you dont need this book,because systems in there mostly for stocks. of cource you can pick few ideas or coding style or idea itself -how to create your own system in TS. speaking about TS-it is easier(mean-less flexible). many things you just can't do in TS.
