technical analysis and fundamental? What books are usually studied in the process of obtaining a license?
I would say its Derrick Hobbs. "Fun with Fibonacciis" Derrick Hobbs is probably the best trader alive today. He is available now on EliteTrader to speak with if you have questions. He is commonly seen at TradingMarkets where he takes time out of his busy trading day sells material to many people for only 300 bucks per lesson and he has an awesome letter that I personally subscribe to that only costs 150 per month. I wouldnt think of trading without it. This is not a plug in anyway for Derrick Hobbs..but I would go out and buy this book immediatly before it sells out!
1. In preparation for a license, you will learn approximately zero about trading the market. 2. Recommend, "The Disciplined Trader", by Mark Douglas.
You mention learning technical analysis. I would suggest you start with this website. http://www.equis.com/Education/TAAZ/?page=106 IMO fundamentals are for investors not traders. I used to be one and used fundamentals a ton. Overtime as I have become more and more profitable my timeframe has shortened to that of a trader. Now I don't even care about the fundamentals. Study the above web site. Learn chart patterns, money management, especially your own risk tolerance (by trial and error). Sorry wrong site I will correct. Link is correct now. Sorry. Good Luck
Metallurgical Failures in Fossil Fired Boilers by David N. French (Author) http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/t...=sr_1_69/002-2145115-4362451?v=glance&s=books I know its pricey but well worth it..
I recommend 1/3 of a book. The first 75 or so pages of this book are phenomenal if your just starting out because they setup the trading paradigm better than just about anything else I have read....unfortunately the last 2/3's of the book are near worthless. You can always knock out the first few chapters at a bookstore over an espresso though. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/t...-8942265?v=glance&s=books&vi=customer-reviews (note the pages I recommend reading have nothing really to do with the books title). Also you might do a search....there are a couple of similar threads to this one from a while back.
