Re: Degree in trading (Alternative)

Trading Reference Links

(This is for a self study degree)
Start out with 1 hour of Ken Roberts 101(this is a prerequisite for all
other courses)
1 hour of any other KR courses
Buy 1 underpowered computer
1 year of computer experimentation
Upgrade your computer several times
Buy an analysis program
2 years of further experimenting
1 year taking advice from brokers or vendors.
1 year of system design
Lots of hard knocks in-between

Disregard MOST of the above at this point.
2 years of careful testing, study, and management until a successful
approach is found
1 hour honest trading guidance from a magnanimous highly successful former
trader
Many, many hours of careful thinking and conversing about all aspects of
trading
