Yes, Books you can pause and think about it, then move onto the next topic. It's also easier to go back, you just move your eyesight. Videos are harder to do that.
What's really baffling about all this is why are you such a fanboy lol? Sadly I think you are on tilt and grasping at anything to be profitable. This was your first topic posted in 2018...and you are still not understanding it???? https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/how-to-understand-al-brooks.320533/
If you actually learned EW you wouldn't be wasting time with price action on 5 min charts lol...you would know where price was going to be in 4 hours, 4 days, 4 weeks, 4 months and do a single swing trade. Also as a daytrader you will pay tax on 100% of profits (if you ever make any) and you are stuck in front of your computer hours on end day after day, and you have to pay more fees lol....Triple whammy! As a swing trader you are free to do what you want with your day, and you only pay the capital gains inclusion rate...
Good Morning wxytrader, I agree. @padutrader Have tried not studying Al Brooks material and try to develop your own trading plan? Al Brooks is not working for you. I know you respect him as a teacher, but you need to make money. Perhaps his material is too complex for you. Have you tried developing your own trading plan?
Simply copying someone else's strategy will almost never work, certainly not if you lack proper risk management skills like Padu does. He could be given the best strategy ever and he would probably still blow his accounts. Brooks isn't his issue, his issue is overtrading and trading too much size for the capital/draw down that he has.
