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.

man thanks heaps for the tips! do they sell it on borders? i can't buy things from the net coz i don't have a credit card.. sigh
btw i love books about trader's psychology too. I feel naive without it. I read this book called the zurich axiom the other day. And it just opens my eyes a whole lot from it
