Hi Sparrow,
Thanks for your reply and the welcome as well. It's great to hear you are finding valuable information on this board that is improving your trading performance! It sure gives me hope and comfirmation that I am at the right place!

I will check out the book you recommended, as I am not 100% sure what I will end up picking at the end. I have read a few really great books so far. I have to say the Stock Market Wizard by Jack Scwhager is definitely inspiring to me, as the people he interviewed, all have different styles of trading.
Right now I am into equities, but since I am so new, I really can't say that is what I will end up with. I have made a few trades so far, some turned out good, and some not so good, but those not so good ones were with very little loss thankfully, as I got myself out of those trades really quick....hehehe. I am also not capitalized yet as I am waiting for my funds to arrive, so limited to the 4 trades per 5 days, but that's ok, as I am learning right now anyway.
Thanks again for your input and keep up the great progress!!
Eva
