  1. Thanks for the prompt reply, I will check Fraser out now. Do you rate the Schwager Technical Analysis book (not the study guide)? It seems to come highly rated...same with the John Murphy (not the study guide)?
  2. Hi all Can anyone recommend some good books that would take me to the next step? This is my status: I would like to start trading futures. So far I have a basic understanding of: risk (3-5% of my principle on any 1 trade - use stop orders), the ratio of profitable to loss trades (4:6), protecting my principle (trade 20% of margin at any one time), profit ratios (1:1.5-2). I intend to focus on using technical analysis BUT I don't have any entry, exit strategies formulated. I have time to day trade but thought it better to start out with swing trading. I have a small principle (that's why I chose futures over stocks). I thought the next step would be learning to read charts and I was considering these books: Schwager, Jack D Technical Analysis (Schwager on Futures) Schwager, Jack D Study Guide: Technical Analysis (Schwager on Futures) John J. Murphy Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets: A Comprehensive Guide to Trading Methods and Applications (New York Institute of Finance) John J. Murphy Study Guide: Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets: A Comprehensive Guide to Trading Methods and Applications (New York Institute of Finance) Richard J. Teweles (Author), Frank, J. Jones The Futures Game: Who Wins, Who Loses, & Why: Who Wins, Who Loses, and Why Thanks in advance for any advice.
