The best educators are most often not the best traders. That's one thing most people in the trading community struggle to get their heads around. How many times have I heard "yeah well buddy, if you know so much how come you are not trading for yourself and making millions!!!". Typical retail trader mentality. I personally believe the two are very different skills. Anyway, sorry you didn't get anything from it. I do agree with you that education has it's limits though. I have paid for very few & very selective pieces of eduction in the past - but you have to be darn sure what you are getting suits your style of trading, and does have some basis or narrative that you believe. Anyway, case closed. End of thread. Happy Easter!

At the end of the day, that's just opinion. Every trader has to find their own narrative to explain why the markets do what they do, and to justify their trading decisions. No educator will give you your complete narrative any more than anyone posting at a forum will. Whether you agree or disagree with some of things Jim says is irrelevant frankly. The questions to answer are, is there value in what Jim is teaching as a whole, and is he a good educator. I would personally, resoundingly, answer yes to those questions. For me he's one of the two best educators I have come across. You may be working out that you're not talking to some newbie despite my lack of posts here. I was trading for 12 years institutionally and now 6 years trading my own money. I don't know about you guys, but I'm generally too busy, and little inclined, to post on threads that really have no direct relevance to me.

Funny, because I rate Jim's books as 2 of about 8 books I'd ever want to keep. Go figure. Different strokers I guess. For example, I think VSA is largely complete nonsense. You don't.

Hi All, I have decided to finally sell my original copy of Jim Dalton's "Field of Vision" - after watching it so many times that I know it off by heart! Less than half price... currently on my Ebay page here, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/120885358360?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1586.l2649#ht_526wt_1336 Many Thanks

Hi All, I am an experienced trader. Worked for various large investment banks (Merrill Lynch, Barclays Capital) as a trader of various different sorts over a 12 year period. The last couple of years I have been trading my own money on and off... now very much focused on Price Action. I mainly trade US index futures, but frankly would trade anything that paid. I am looking to meet other traders in London, UK, who are also trading price action. I really think it's key to have other traders in the locale to share ideas with, bounce thoughts about the market & trading techniques with. Anyone out there trading Price Action based in London? Many Thanks Sid p.s. moderator, if there is a more suitable place for this thread, please feel free to move!
