Oh and if anyone have time..

Also a great read.

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
Don't think this book applies anymore, it is more about reading order flow back in the day where there weren't auto spreaders and so many algos. Doesn't work anymore, though it is a good story just for the read.Hikapo said:Oh and if anyone have time..

Van Tharp, read him too, don't rate him, good writer, interesting, but better books out there.
Try reading the Alchemy of Finance by George Soros.

Market sold off today. Lets see if we get the next selloff so we can confirm a small market correction.
Gaucho, can you elaborate on what that book is about?

He is a global macro trader (which means you have to have an understanding of macroeconomics). It teaches you to learn to get inside the mind of the market and look for specific events that could alter price (inflection points). A lot talk about 'reflexivity' when they talk about George Soros, but that is not really how he makes his money day to day or week to week. His 'real time experiment' in the book is much more useful. To get real-time information on trading from the best fund manager the world has ever seen, cannot be beaten IMO.
As for trading shorter-term on 'technical analysis', I would recommend reading this guys entire blog, he hasn't posted much lately, but is about as good as it gets on shorter-term price action trading: http://tremblinghandtrader.typepad.com/
Look for his couple of posts on 'traditional technical analysis' pretty much rips it to shreds and explains what you need to do to learn to really read price action.
"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
I trade but I'm an armchair warrior for the time being. I've cashed out since I can't be actively investing at this time. It requires time and patience to succeed which I can't give right now.
Still following the market though.

If you're into technicals at all, I would highly recommend the Candlestick Course by Nison. I trade Forex and am more of a long-term trader, using the 4 hour and daily charts primarily, and candlesticks provide a great reflection of market sentiment.
