I wonder why special literature is a joke? Doesn't it teach people to make their own strategies and to think correctly?
It's a joke because it most likely won't help and most likely will have a price to acquire it. It can help in a sense...after losing money it will teach you WHAT NOT TO DO! Published trading material reminds me of something I've experienced several times in my life...opening a box of a product requiring assembly with instructions included...after some frustration, improvisation and completion of said product, I came to the conclusion that the instructions were terribly written and were basically a cause of stress and confusion. With that said, you may get an epiphany from reading something that will positively affect your results, but I wouldn't pay for it...too much free information. Be cautious of any trading literature!
