Quote from baggerlord:
Maverick out of curiousity have you ever bothered to read Al Brooks book? I'm combining that style with ACD for actual trades. Do you have any resources you like on how to learn to enter and manage positions, aside from ACD?
I have his book and read maybe the first 30 pages. I have probably read over 300 books on the market and that is the first book I had to basically stop myself out of. Talk about taking something that is simple and adding complexity.
My background is in tape reading and options. So I manage positions around volatility which is what ACD is based on. So I don't feel the need to add more layers to making things more complicated.
Let me turn to the great Bruce Lee on his thoughts on simplicity:
"Simplicity is the key to brilliance."
"Out of chaos, find simplicity, From discord, find harmony."
"In building a statue, a sculptor doesn't keep adding clay to his subject. Actually, he keeps chiselling away at the inessentials until the truth of its creation is revealed without obstructions. Thus, contrary to other styles, being wise in Jeet Kune-Do doesn't mean adding more; it means to minimize, in other words to hack away the unessential."
"There is no mystery about my style. My movements are simple, direct and non-classical. The extraordinary part of it lies in its simplicity. Every movement in Jeet Kune-Do is being so of itself. There is nothing artificial about it. I always believe that the easy way is the right way. Jeet Kune-Do is simply the direct expression of one's feelings with the minimum of movements and energy. The closer to the true way of Kung Fu, the less wastage of expression there is."
