Amen. Amen. Amen.

Would Boeing tell new pilots to read a book on flying a 747 and then stick them in cockpits?

Would you read a book on Judo and tell someone, "alright now, come at me with that knife."?

Would you read a book on how to play guitar and expect to cut a record when finished?

You can learn from books, tapes and seminars but nothing replaces practice. If you can't afford a real-time datafeed and simulator, at least find a free delayed feed and paper trade. Practice, practice before you step in the ring against the world champions of trading.
Nicely said. Practice makes perfect. There is no other teacher in trading other than experience.
