Also me telling you is less valuable then you doing the research, finding what works for you, and actually doing it.<BR/><BR/>I will say that asking these questions is a good start. There are numerous websites on the internet that can help you start answering those questions, but ultimately the real work/research will have to be done by you.<BR/><BR/>To get you started:<BR/><BR/>www.babypips.com<BR/>www.investopedia.com<BR/>www.google.com<BR/><BR/>You might also start asking yourself (if you don't already know) what your goals are for trading. Most beginners skip this step but I assure you it is not a frivolous question.<BR/><BR/>Good luck.<BR/><BR/>LTLord Teddershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08853719769033533263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4709646752697007273.post-51850143516729681262008-10-25T09:23:00.000-07:002008-10-25T09:23:00.000-07:00can u tell me roughly what are the basics i need t...can u tell me roughly what are the basics i need to get me started on real or paper trading?how do i size my position and determine my initial risk?how do i backtest using candlesticks or backtesting software.everytime i open my TOS paper trading software to practise i have no friggin idea what to do except mess with the candlesticksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4709646752697007273.post-23420958185713902872008-09-26T07:22:00.000-07:002008-09-26T07:22:00.000-07:00Lonely,I don't suppose you went to an LA conventio...Lonely,<BR/><BR/>I don't suppose you went to an LA convention with Booker in 2004 did you? <BR/><BR/>Yeah the 4 hour or daily dots would probably be best for a person with a demanding schedule. Probably won't get too many signals a year (even with multiple pairs) but its perfect for the person with little time on their hands. <BR/><BR/>Yes I definately like having a trading partner I know I can trust and I know has both of our best interests at heart.<BR/><BR/>LTLord Teddershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08853719769033533263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4709646752697007273.post-64420609025446936482008-09-25T22:19:00.000-07:002008-09-25T22:19:00.000-07:00My wife and I had talked about this several years ...My wife and I had talked about this several years ago. Because I was new to the game, I just gave her a book. She learns by doing. So that didn't go over too well. Your mention of McGrew's dots was fortuitous. But to back up a bit -- I remember back in 2004(I think) when Booker and McGrew started working together. Booker emailed a few people a word file with the MACD Dots code. It looked intriguing. (I never had any direct contact with McGrew.) <BR/><BR/>I brought up the subject again. And she's interested! We both have demanding jobs, so I have no idea how we will get this done. But she expressed an interest in something easy to trade, just to get her feet wet. So we may just give this a try....<BR/><BR/>Anyway, good luck to both of you. That would be Waaaay cool if you guys could form your own trading team and "keep it in the family".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
