    I'm just starting out, but I will recommend, if you are completely new and unfamiliar, "Inside the Black Box." Assuming the contents are correct, it really helps lay out the land for me.

    For ideas on indicator setups/entries/exits, try searching for PDFs of Omega Research Strategy Testing and Development. Lots of good ideas in those.

    None, but if you must, Playboy. Then put 2 exp. moving averages on all your charts/timeframes, rec: 15x30. Read nothing trading related, talk to no traders, just quietly buy/sell when 15 crosses above/below 30. Use no leverage, none, nada, zilch, dig?

    With 20k start laff all the way to exotic beaches the rest of your life.

    Within a year, if your wife tells you she's leaving you, smile and ask, "how soon can you leave?"
