Hi all from Italy...

Hi all, I'm Roberto from north of Italy.
I found this forum reading the book "Algorithmic Trading" by Ernest P. Chan
I enjoyed a lot in these days all the posts I read... this is a very great resource.
I'll continue to read and someday to be useful to this community.
Cheers

Welcome rsimoni. I have also read Chan's books. They are very good. However, since I don't have MATLAB, I found it hard to translate to other programming languages.
 
Hi @cafeole, yes I had the same difficulties. I started to read that book 'cause I was trying to learn something about algotrading... but I like technical analysis more... even if I'm a noob in trading :-)
 
That is what I did. Being from an engineering background I found I liked the idea of algotrading. But I could NEVER turn my account completely over to a computer. I trade price action exclusively now.
 
Started with "Understanding Price Action" by Bob Volman. Very good book. I then bought "Trading Price Action Trends" by Al Brooks but found it hard to read. I purchased his online Price Action Trading course where he uses videos and charts to explain price action. It is much better than his books.

I find you have to watch the intraday action a LOT to get the hang of it, but I think it is worth it.
 
Ah ok, thanks for confirming the value of those books. I had in my list. Thanks again.
I cannot do daytrading 'cause I'm working during the day.
At the moment I'm trying to do something like swing trading.

According to Al Brooks and others, price action is good for all timeframes.
