Trading's a LOT like learning how to master the Skid Pad at the Skip Barber Racing School's Car Control Clinic . . . . (I'll email you the discovery I made sometime next week.)

Hey Ken,
Here's a story I thought you'd enjoy.
I've been taking your course
and actively paper trading for about three months now. To supplement
the knowledge I've gained so far, I recently picked up a copy of the
new edition of George Kleinman's book. I started reading it and
before long I was thoroughly doubting myself. Kleinman, a long-time
futures veteran, was talking about spreads and straddles and
butterfly formations and option writing, and I started to wonder,
"Have I not learned anything in three months of daily studying?!"
Then I got to page 120, entitled, "The Advanced Futures Trading
Course (or How to Analize the Markets Technically)." Bracing myself
for yet another lesson in how much I don't know, I started reading
the chapter. Guess what. The techniques Kleinman teaches are almost
EXACTLY the same ones you teach in your Course.
Sure, the
terminology is sometimes different. But the basic formations and
trading strategies were nearly identical. And this is coming from
someone who was once one of Merrill Lynch's top ten commodities
brokers worldwide.
And thanks to your course, Kleinman's "advanced"
course in technical trading was already as familiar to me the charts
in the WGB handbook. It just goes to show you that if you patience
and persistence, and put in your 15 minutes a day, your knowledge
WILL grow, whether or not you know it's growing.
Thanks for the Course,
Adam, Washington, DC

Many thanks to you too Adam!
Great story, yes?! And now I'll let you get to last night's Chat Archive . . . .

As we begin this evenings session, let me state the reason I conduct these
monthly chats: to provide you the opportunity to ask questions and pick the
brain of a successful, long-time, real-money trader. Its not the highest and
best use of our limited time here together for me to define basic terms and
explain introductory principles taught in your Course materials. Thats what my
Course Counselors are here for... Now is the time for you to use me to help
you apply the basics youre learning and to prepare you for what to expect
once youre out in the market itself (either paper trading or with real money).
And if we have some fun along those lines, so much better.
