    Totally agree.. natenberg is way too advanced for you at this point. You should read

    Winning in the futures market ..George Angell

    the futures game.. by teweles and jones

    My first reco for you is to get these at the library... adn take notes on the stuff you like.

    there you go.. you just saved/made 40 bucks !

    My last bit of advice is to not search for the holy grail or the perfect way of doing this.

    Goodluck

  3. The last think a beginner needs to learn is options. I would go with "The everything investing book" for learning terms and basics, and "Sticky Stock Charts" for technical analysis. Start with the former.

  4. yea learning to invest is a nice start,

    first thing i learned was long term options investment, which was crap.

  5. so if natenburg is ahead of your curve then you shouldn't be trading...so to all of you "traders" how is your VOL in the front?

  7. Try spy, dia or qqq if you want to trade indexes. you could blow out a small account in a day with ES. I would suggest reading quite a bit before trading.

  9. I love Natenburg, I think volatility and pricing is probly the best written text on trading.
    I'm not 15 though with no clue about the markets. Directing this kid to Natenburg is just stupid.
