I spent my last 12 years in sales, so this book was one of my favorites needless to say. It's all about the chatter that goes on in our minds. It's up to us to change it, whether it is negative or positive. I still have a lot to go on mastering this, but really do recommend this book.

This is very cool. Another right brained one here. Working on trying to see it go the opposite way.....that might take a long staring...hehehe.

WOW, this is so much great information, thank you so much for putting these threads together. Really teaching me a lot! I am a little familiar with the candlesticks, but since I am very new and not really trading yet, this last one showed me how to actually do a great setup. Love it!!! Thanks again, Eva

Wonderfully put together.....just fabulous information!!! Thanks, Eva

Thank you for candlestick guides......great study guide for sure. Eva

Hi James, I just finished reading your post about your "attitude"...how funny, you are posting on my thread.....hehehehe. YESSSSSSSSSSSSS.....Trading in the Zone is one book I need to get indeed. It is on my list already, as it was recommended to me very highly by other people, too. I loved reading your thread, as I know that is one huge part that needs to be addressed, if someone wants to be successful at trading. Thanks again for your input, I really appreciate it! Eva

Hey Sparrow again, Thanks for the compliment of me on a good start. I try as much as I can, not make mistakes, but I am sure I will, as I am human after all...woman or man, doesn't really makes a difference...hehehe. I just bookmarked Steenbarger's blog and will read it, as I am an avid blog reader anyway, so thank you for that. So far I do have a plan on how tackle this and become a full time trader and make a success of it, and one thing I know, once I put my mind to something, I will focus on it and will achieve it, so I will get there, that I know. Yes, the inexpensive part is important, as I don't plan on making everyone else rich, while I am trying to learn. However I also know there are people who can help me and they do need to be compensated as well. So, for now, I am reading books that have been recommended to me, than I plan on taking training through either a school, or just go straight to a mentor for live training. Than there is the psychology of trading that seems to be very important, and I have already found a great teacher/mentor for that, so I am good on that. As you can see, I have put a little business plan together already on how to get where I want to be, now it's just the doing part, which I am looking forward to, as I love a good challenge and this one certainly is. Eva

Soultrader, this is awesome!! What a great way to describe the journey. I am very new, only have been at this for 3 months, but I went to stage three, as I didn't allow myself to make foolish mistakes. I knew enough, that what I don't know, I better not do, at least not too much to cost me too much. I just joined this site and pretty glad I did. Eva

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

Hi Mister Ed, You are so kind!!! Thank you so much for all the details in your e-mail, as far as who to follow around on this site and what kind of information is available. Something tells me, I will be looking out for your postings, too... I am very excited to have found found such a great community with knowledgable contributors. Thanks again for all the information, I really appreciate it!!! Eva

My name is Eva and I found your forum through my searches and thought I would register, as I would love to talk to people, who have the same interest as I do. This site is wealth of information and I know I will be finding myself browsing it to learn more. First of all, I am very new at trading, I do have to say that. My goal though is to become a full time trader, as I am looking for a career change, and I have always loved the market. I have read a few books, so I have some basic understanding of charts, fundemantals and such, but no trading experience. I will be trading with my own money and I don't want to make a fool of me and loosing it, so I want to get the right education, so I know how to trade the best. What I was hoping to find out from anyone here, is their experience on how they got started. I do understand there are schools, and teachers and mentors, but I do not know enough people, who could point out even what the choices are, and furthermore the better choices. I have attended a workshop at a school (as an introduction to their training) that was recommended by the two people (one who attended their school and one who used to work there, but they are not traders), and recently I have been told, that school doesn't have a good reputation. I had all intentions to attend their training, but now I am confused and searching. Again, I am looking at trading as my business, I know I need the correct training, and trying to find the right place, so any suggestion would be appreciated. Thank you so much! Eva
