I was just curious if Spyder or Jack are planning or would plan maybe a weekend cram course starting at the beginning (suggested computer setups, service providers, best vendors for tools, etc. to basic setups) and going through to some advanced techniques? I think there are many of us that would fly to OH or AZ to do so. I know Spyder volunteered to fly to Surf but what if many of us flew to YOU for a classroom setting one weekend? I realize Jack already does a regular get-together but I don't believe there has been anything scheduled in a classroom setting for beginners from beginning to advanced. Thank you both (and everyone else too) so much for sharing so much to newbies!! You are so awesome for helping others and only expecting one to share the wisdom forward!!
Pardon me for LOL but IMHO there is no way one is going to even come close to making a dent in learning this in a single weekend. Yea you might pick up a few of the basics, but you can learn all you need by going through this journal. Pr0crast has put together some really good summary info of the first two months and Bundlemaker has put together a nice video on channels. I know it may seem overwhelming at first, but you just have to slog through it. There is no other way.
If you have stopped LOL , it was a very serious question. I realize that not much of a dent would be made but I suspect many of us would enjoy MEETING our mentors while learning some basics in more depth while having a bit advanced stuff for people at other levels. Supplimental classroom learning has worked for many decades and I am sure it will in the future. I may be in the minority in my suggestion but I thought I would throw it on the table since I suspect even advanced students would like to join in.
Some of us have met up before and I'm sure it will happen again. Start reading and posting and you just might get an invite... I don't know what good it would do to have a "crash course," like others have said... Because at this point, there is so much info right here to learn from. I think face-to-face/supplemental classroom learning would best be used for "working out the kinks" and networking. Cheers, Pr0crast
threemini, I may have sounded a little harsh, so forgive me if I did. I understand where you were going with it, but I think you need to focus on the information that is right in front of you (this journal and all the great people that are posting to it). Yes it would be nice to meet Jack, Spyder and others, even just to shake their hands for being so incredibly generous with their knowledge and time. Perhaps that day will come... Good luck in your journey. Best regards, WGTrader
oxi, I don't have the links handy but they are in the journal. If you are brand new, I'd suggest starting by reading the resources that Spyder gives on page one of the journal, then make your way page by page. Plan to set aside several days to do this. Enjoy the journey.
Thank you Jack. I realise that I too have been an 'Assessor'. (sounds like Assessors Anonymous). I have been trading actively for years but not monitoring consistently as a routine brought me boredom. I understand now that a routine trains the neurons, coats them with myelin (biologically) creating faster neural pathways towards peak performance (even if it is boring sometimes). It also makes sure one does not act on single high impact data points, but rather covers all the bases. Cheers
