tilman29, I have been using using OptionsXpress (www.OptionsXpress.com) for some time now. It is $15 per trade and is very easy to navigate. They also have a great paper trading feature that I use almost daily. Those are great books. I would also recommend Bollinger on Bollinger Bands by John Bollinger. Daveby dbanko - Trading Discussion
Well done mtut. I like your chart that gives you a red or green "E" indication for all of your time frames. That looks like a good system. Daveby dbanko - Trading Discussion

Dynamike, Glad you are liking The Power of Now. That is a very deep book and took me a little longer to read than most. I found myself going back and rereading what I just read to try and comprehend it. In the end I got a lot out of it and will read it again. I need to get the audio of The Power of Now and The Slight Edge to keep in my car. That would be a great use of that idle time. Davby dbanko - Trading Discussion
Darcy, I have actually added the E charts on my weekly, daily and 233. One of my first practice trades using the E signal was on HD going into earnings on 8/11. The E on the daily chart is what I believe to be picture perfect. Please let me know if I am wrong. I have not yet added the 144 chart but will give a look here shortly.

NC Trader and Fireman1984, One of the reasons I posted my story is because I personally know several people that have put in a ton of work for many years only to have to step back, pause and reevaluate. We all firmly believe that this does work, but have not been able to personally make it happen. Not because of a lack of effort, but I think because of the wrong mindset. I think that we all tby dbanko - Trading Discussion
