Re: Something I want to say to anyone new here (or to trading)

Excellent post, Reaver, very insightful. I think books do teach us something but only "after observation and analysis..." This is where most people throw the book out the window. As soon as they finish the book, they start trading the strats without verify it works or not on paper (I was this same hick once). I still rely on books for ideas and research, lots of research and analysis to make sure there is truth in what the author claims.
