(btw if I only use those I mentioned above, would that make my trading system too simple?)

any help would be greatly appreciated, thx

If I was going to start with one book...it would be Trading In The Zone by Mark Douglas

It will not teach you strategies, technicals, fundamentals, Fibonacci, etc....it will teach you how to keep yourself in control and how to focus your mind properly.

YOU WANT TO START WITH YOURSELF FIRST. The book will take you about a weekend. It is easy reading. It might seem a bit long in the tooth at times but just sit back down, relax and calmly read through it. Do not try to understand every single part of it. Just read through it and grasp the "big picture" the author is trying to relay to you.

When you are done reading it. Read it AGAIN and this time...pay close attention, make notes and get into it as deep as you can.

I just gave you $1 million dollars worth of advice for free. Even the top traders who are pros acknowledge the power of that book.
