hello all,

I do not post here much, but read and enjoy everything on these boards for awhile now. Was wondering if anyone could suggest good reading material (books, web, personal experience), on trading for a living. Any information on this would be greatly appreciated. I am interested in the different aspects involved not trading systems. Was hoping someone could recommend a good book on the subject.

Thanks and good trading
Michael

Read this forum. You will get the latest information on trading. Other materials will become outdated faster. Even updates will not be up-to-date.

Sorry, I misunderstood what you wanted.

The transition from workplace to full time trader is really up to the individual.

If you want books on it, try the Jack Schwager's 3 books called Market Wizards, Stock Market Wizards, and New Market Wizards or Alexander Elder's Trading For A Living series.

Hi Mike,
Just going through FF found Yours thread, how nice
This topic is within my interst also, my friend and me are doing an experiment trading together on one account, to try if we are forex-ready.
We wanted to try if it would be possible to live on trading - we have made one mistake starting with the capital of $10.000 (our real acc is much smaller) - the startup for a business was to small. Opening a new business should be at least 50k. But anyway we started with 10. We are coming to the first quater of our exp. we earned about 2k - if we would continue this rate and having 50k at the start - it would be possible to earn for living in Poland. But it is still too short to show any important conclusions. We will see next q and in a year time if we continue the winning rate.
So we patiently do our best, we join our abilities and try to reduce disadvantages. After the year will have some more info, the results are introduced at my journal here at ff, and my site.

(if we are ok it will be also Your input as the whole j16 group)

Thank You Mike,

Peter
Jesus Christ is my only Lord !
