I also wanted to say if some one like me who has an art and photography background and counts on their fingers can learn to trade, anyone can.

But they have to be willing, like me, to want it more than anything. To be willing to live, think, breathe, eat and dream trading 24/7. And to be willing to lose large amounts of money in the process, because believe me, they will.

If you're not like that I would. for now, subscribe to a good market timing service for trading and there are some I can highly recommend if anyone is interested.

But it's definitely possible if this is your dream.

Hi Deva, thank you for the info. NetNeutral is my teacher and partner in arms. I will not be trading like him as you say he is way beyond us and that’s exactly what I need. If it takes me years without the pain of losing and maybe using the think or swim platform to get there then great. NN is giving me direction and what better situation could I expect? We are gonna be working side by side. I’m not out there on a limb following him from a distance any more. Step by step I will get there. There is so much to know and I would not want to base all my decisions on what I know and see. NN is now my eyes. Someday I may have my own eyes once that knowledge is imparted. 10 years ol is fine with me as I won’t give up.

I am originally a chemist then math teacher and venture capitalist. I have dealt with the brightest tech ceos across the world. Complexity is my thing. I have published a paper on bio probability that was peer reviewed. All these things to study I can master once I know what to study. Your suggestions on what to look at are extremely helpful. Thank you for your advice.
