If I remember correctly Optionscoach has a well reviewed book out this year on trading published by Wileys, the main publishers in the field. . . Condescending...?I would call them optimistic.
The site is called EliteTrader, not NoviceTrader or TrainATrader. Yeh some of these guys give you a serving of attitude with their advice, so what? If you don't like it, join the $3000 club and pay someone for advice. I advise you to calm down. If the little jabs in this forum get your blood up, you do not have the emotional control to trade. Good luck to ya.
I made a little joke- a pun on the OP- and now I am an arrogant asshole and a douchebag. How do expect to make it in this industry with skin so thin? Lighten up man, do some research, read, and stop asking for handouts. I am a novice as well, but I ask legitimate questions- and only after I search google, and the board first. Do this and you will learn- and earn respect. But if your first post is "I'm new- tell me what to do" than expect to have jokes made at your expense.
I used to have "thin skin" until I got licensed, and was in the business for a few years. If people think this board's a tough crowd, they should try working the floor of the NYMEX.:eek: Hard to describe...
