He's talking about Jack D. Schwager books. They are very good. But this site is full of recommendations of great books, courses, brokers, etc. . Use the search feature as advised. Good luck to you.Quote from mike firestone:
I am looking for a bit of guidance. In the opinion of all of you highly experienced traders, what is the best way to get started in terms of:
1) what books to read??
2) what video home study courses are worth while??
3) Is it necessary to get professional tutoring??
4) what markets should I consider trading??
5) what platform should I consider??
Your help is greatly appreciated. I am flying totally blind, but I am willing to put the time, $ and effort into doing this properly. I am very serious about becoming a successful (albeit part time) trader. Thanks again for any help.+
