Come on spin you were impressing chicks at the pool with your options knowledge.

What are you talking about??? All of those "chicks" at the pool were hard of hearing Gray Panthers :)

Quote from erol:

I'm reading Natenberg right now. It's going slow but I'm getting all of it.

I know this book is large, so it may not be practical to read the whole thing... I just may have to do that.

This may be heresy but you can cram all the info you want into your head but at some point you have to get some hands on trading expeience. Despite its shortcomings, perhaps on a Simulator at first. IOW, the feel for trading does not come from a book.

thanks for the advice.

i know "you" can't learn to swim from a text... and i'm motivated to learn and trade. But i want to learn as much as i can before trading, even for play, so i can (hopefully) make better decisions, avoid trivial mistakes, and alleviate frustration caused by lack of understanding.

but i agree completely, there's no substitute for trading experience.

I agree. A good way to approach learning is to read a little Natenberg, then do example after example on an analyzer or simulator until you see with your own eyes how and why it works that way in real life, then read a little more, etc.
