Quote from bluehawaii:
Thanks for your advise,
I understand what you said, but I just want to learn about trading, and would like to decide if I start trading or not.
So I'm gathering information.
Sorry for my Japanese-English, I have no idea of how to describe it.
Thanks

ikuo, u wont learn zip by reading books and attending seminars. none of those activities will aid your trading. only things u have to concentrate on is the market itself. time is precious, dont waste it on other things aside the market itself: u have to learn to spot imbalances in the mkt that creates opportunities. vital is that u study repeatable patterns that offer u the best risk:reward. screen time is what is all about.
if u already have a basic understanding of the economy u dont need any books, just watch prices, charts and the tape all day long for months of not yrs. if u dont do that but keep searching for a holy grail of some sort it may take a decade for u to figure it out or it may never happen altogether.
best of luck with your journey, u'll need plenty of it: it will be tough and punishing, u'll have to endure humiliation after humiliation and it wont be fun.
