KGB -- My feeling is it takes years to be able to read a chart and trust yourself when looking at a chart. The trust you simply can't get from reading a book. Thats where the years of experience come in. Unfortunately, you must be willing to accept failure as part of the learning process, and accept the fact that your hard earned money will be taken from you by your more experienced competitors. This is a great board to be on. There are a lot of smart guys here rooting for you. This is a tough market to trade, but the traders here make it look easy. You must be disciplined and take your 3%, never get greedy. The best part, just when you think you got it made and making money comes easy. The market slaps you back down. Have fun with it and best of luck to you. Stay in charts back pocket, keep Veritas close to the vest.
