That mag kept getting thinner and thinner untill I gave up on it. Ginger is a cool lady, but I thought they folded long ago after losing advertisers. I guess they are still hanging in there.

I subscribed to the print edition for a year. Leaving aside the problems with delivery to Thailand, I did not see the magazine as being value for money.

The technical analysis stuff was usually superficial, the odd article having some research basis but never conclusive. I always felt they came across as a work in progress, an interim report as it were.

Trader interviews were useful in the same way Market Wizards is useful. Industry news largely irrelevant to me. You do get food for thought sometimes, in the same way diverse reading on anything helps.

Whatever they offer I can dip into online for free, and the cost of the subscription pays for 2 books on trading each year - a better use of my time and money this way. If they put up a pay wall, I would simply live without it.

IB and BMT webinars provide more meat on the technical stuff, are free, and allow Q&A.

what????

i agree.. any TA in a mag is a waste of space.. i like hearing about guys melt downs.. getting cornered... etc.. real world shit.. not fruity appeal to the 90's day trader stuff

I get both Futures and Stocks and Commodities as I only trade commodities they are one of the few magazine that cover the field .. some of the articles are better than others and should be considered “Work in progress”.. but a good sours of ideas to take further. Try contacting the authors I have so far never found one that is not willing to help in one way or the other.

I get Futures Magazine too. I guess I might have subscribed to it in the past or they have somehow found me. I really don't read it that much if at all. I still like reading a good book, but magazines or newspapers are a thing of the past to me, pretty much.

back then if you had a series 3 you got it for free. Getting a magazine in the mail was a really big deal. You could be sure when she saw it arrive that there would be sex that night since she knew you would be more than content to just sit in bed and read about reverse crush spreads. And nothing pisses off a wife more than a happy man.

But when I went independent, it was no longer free, and every penny counted, and there were no longer pennies to be committed to a magazine, just for fun.
