Thanks for the pointer to the book with the formulae. I am a geek, LOL. As a matter of fact, I built a database that sucks data down all day long in real time on 500 hand picked stocks and makes real time trading decisions, so having a bunch of formulae would definately suit my needs.

I have a site or two with some formulae, but its always nice to have them in a book. I love books, so I'll check this one out on Amazon.

As to what I recommend to learn to trade, I say to get Steve Nison's latest book and then to develop the daily habit of listening to Tommy O'Brien on the subject of trading volume patterns and fib numbers. I had listened for the last three years almost every day on http://www.tfnn.com/

I do not subscribe to all he does, but there is a central theory of the necessity of timing the trades that governs the way I've come to do it.

And it works, although I need to warn you ahead of time that the basic ideas, while logical, are counter intuitive to a certain extent, which made implementing them hard to become habitual.

Finally, and in my opinion, the most helpful site I've ever employed is http://www.stockfetcher.com/

At this site, which is a subscription site, you get a vast set of fully exampled indicator choices, but most importantly, you get to write your own custom indicators. I generated a set of them that I call my diffies and I use them at night to find candidate stocks for trading tomorrow. At stockfetcher, BTW, I recommmend the more expensive subscription becuase only with it can you create truly complex custom indicators.

So, thats my WORD, for what its worth.

Hope that helps.
