Merry Xmas everyone - Eat, Drink and be Merry!! 8-) Courtesy of [email protected] PART1 More than just habits actually, these are twenty things that I've found that all successful traders do, regardless of the market or timeframes they use. It's a way of looking at the markets that most people don't (but should). After talking with over 250 traders these past 12 months, I started to see recurring themes - patterns if you will - of that they were all doing no matter what their trading style. I think you'll pick up a thing or two. PART 2 More than just habits, numbers 11-20 are about how these traders think about the markets and the way they look at trades. Some of them made complete sense, but I hadn't thought of it in quite that way before. But once you hear it, you realize it's something you should have been doing all along. No more excuses - make these your own habits and your road to profitability will become much shorter and straighter. http://[email protected]/content/20Habits.php http://[email protected]/content/20HabitsPart2.php

Elder (director, Financial Trading Seminars, Inc.) shares his learning over the years as a professional trader and expert in technical analysis and his principle of understanding the three Ms (Mind, Method, Money), which will strengthen the discipline required to be successful in trading. He explores crucial factors in the markets that most experts overlook, including time, volume, and open interest, and describes little-known indicators to track them profitably. The author's knowledge of technical trading methods is also outstanding, and he is most effective when blending this expertise with his insights about human nature. http://rapidshare.com/files/310152302/Alexander_Elder_-_New_Tactics_-_Trading_for_a_Living.part01.rar [url]http://rapidshare.com/files/310153660/Alexander_Elder_-_New_Tactics_-_Trading_for_a_Living.part02.rar[/url] [url]http://rapidshare.com/files/310162533/Alexander_Elder_-_New_Tactics_-_Trading_for_a_Living.part03.rar[/url] [url]http://rapidshare.com/files/310163735/Alexander_Elder_-_New_Tactics_-_Trading_for_a_Living.part04.rar[/url] [url]http://rapidshare.com/files/310172904/Alexander_Elder_-_New_Tactics_-_Trading_for_a_Living.part05.rar[/url] [url]http://rapidshare.com/files/310172947/Alexander_Elder_-_New_Tactics_-_Trading_for_a_Living.part06.rar[/url] [url]http://rapidshare.com/files/310183146/Alexander_Elder_-_New_Tactics_-_Trading_for_a_Living.part08.rar[/url] [url]http://rapidshare.com/files/310184133/Alexander_Elder_-_New_Tactics_-_Trading_for_a_Living.part07.rar[/url] [url]http://rapidshare.com/files/310193870/Alexander_Elder_-_New_Tactics_-_Trading_for_a_Living.part09.rar[/url] [url]http://rapidshare.com/files/310195484/Alexander_Elder_-_New_Tactics_-_Trading_for_a_Living.part10.rar[/url] [url]http://rapidshare.com/files/310204179/Alexander_Elder_-_New_Tactics_-_Trading_for_a_Living.part11.rar[/url] [url]http://rapidshare.com/files/310204891/Alexander_Elder_-_New_Tactics_-_Trading_for_a_Living.part13.rar[/url] [url]http://rapidshare.com/files/310206944/Alexander_Elder_-_New_Tactics_-_Trading_for_a_Living.part12.rar[/url]

I highly recommend a book/audio book called "bounce" by Mathew Syed, he was a former British table tennis champion and after retirement wrote a book on why some people are very high personal achievers in their chosen professions. After studying and interviewing many people he came to the conclusion it has absolutely nothing to do with talent .... its all about what he calls "purposeful practice". At a world class level the best performers gain an edge by intuition/automatic reflex gained through years of practice which cant really be explanied. He gives an example of an exhibition match he played with Federer. He says when Federer served all he saw was him tossing the ball up and then some whizzing sound and before he realised what it was the ball had already hit the net behind him at something like 180 mph, he couldnt even see it and didnt know what was happening. He asked Federer to serve again ... and this time it was even faster! Yet Federer is able to return the serve when he plays against his opponents who serve just as fast. So Syed begins to ask himself how is it Federe can see the ball and return the serve when he himself cant even though his eyesight his 6/6. After some research he realises even Federe cant see the ball but the answer lies he is able to guess where the ball will land by observing the serving motion of his opponent, its like an instinct or reflex he developed through yrs of practice and he finds this common in all high personal achievers. Your brain develops extra nurons which attribute to what people call intuition. The book is just not about sport but he gives exmaples from business as well, he talks about enron and Mckinsey and a lot of other examples its a great read packed with the latest research. i really liked it. Other good audiobooks are "irrational exuberence" by Robert shiller, "fooled by randomness" and "black Swan" by Nicolas Nassim Taleb which i recommend.

the tr@derinterviews podcasts are pretty good, short and bite-size pieces! ;) - it's shared here somewhere. Trading in the Z0ne, as well
