I really recommend, "The New Market Wizards". Not only about forex, but about other types of trading as well. It doesn't go into the technicalities of trading at all, but a lot of personal stories and most importantly, the mindset of those famous traders we would all love to be!!

Having said that, everyone here will tell you what is exactly in that book, if you can't control your emotions in trading you will lose your account. The book only tells us what we already now, but it is an interesting read.

After reading this book, you will realize who the crackpots are and how not to be fooled by them. Side benefit, BabyPips becomes a really funny place.
why do you always manage to insult people? why don't you just grow up? if everybody here are crackpots or whatever you are implying than why don't you just go somewhere else?

Did you actually read what I posted? I didn't say everyone here was a crackpot.

The real question is what is the real reason you think I am insulting people all the time? But let's take a closer look at what you are saying about this.

If my "implication" is false, then you have nothing to worry about, do you? If a person reads the book, they won't see any crackpots.

If my "implication" is true, then I am doing the "newbies" a service by letting them know about the book. If a person reads the book they'll be able to spot a crackpot and have a good laugh.

In either case, there is no harm done to the "newbies".

johnnykanoo, it is obvious that you haven't read the book because you are acting exactly like the people the author talks about. Perhaps you are afraid the "newbies" may have a different opinion about you after they read the book. Is that it?

Side note: johnnykanoo lists the state of Connecticut as home. I find it highly amusing that someone from one of the original 13 colonies doesn't act in accordance with the FIRST AMENDMENT.

"I do not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it." - Voltaire

"Those who don't remember the past are condemned to repeat it." - George Santayana

Perhaps history wasn't one of your favorite subjects.

Let me know what you think about the book.

I am calm. It's the others that will turn this thread into a battleground.
