When I first (re) started trading a couple of years ago ... I was surpsied at ALL the information compared to my last trading ventures in the mid and late 80's.

For me - success only became possible by specializing and learning one market very well... I gave up Forex, Swing Trading and concentrated on developing a winning strategy for the YM/ES.

My suggestion for any newbie: conentrate all your resources and learing efforts on one trade market and only 1 ro 2 setups. Once you can trade them consistently - you can add more variety.
great advice to us newbs bakrob. Thats something ive just recently realized after spending 2 years jumping around to different styles and having easily read 100 books, 99.5% being completely useless. I have no question that the hardest thing starting out is simply filtering out all the noise as far as information goes. Its pretty interesting to me that if i go to my local barnes and noble or borders, i dont believe there is a single title of any of the books reviewed on this website.
