I did.
I just received my copy of ‘Technical Analysis using multiple timeframes‘ by Brian Shannon. It’s a book I have been waiting to read, but put off buying for whatever reason. Go get it now.
I’m only through the first couple of pages, but it has already exceeded my expectations. When I’m finished, I will give a full review. But, for those intersested in Technical Analysis, it’s a must own.
The author, Brian Shannon, has also let me know that he will be sending a book to the winner of the MadStocks contest for 2008, (looks like it will be Market Monk).
Note: If you have not yet picked your stock of the year for 2009, it’s not too late. The deadline is 12/31/08, and remember the stock must be over $10, and no duplicate picks. Here’s the link to enter the contest.

I think whoever picked the worst performing stock of 2008 (I must be in the running) should receive a copy of Madame Bovary or something.
Still, I will enter for 2009.

Good Idea.
Last place was WM, yes Washington Mutual, so you’re safe DT.
Sweetness! that’s awesome that you got Shannon to contribute with us.
Shouldn’t last place win the book? I mean, they probably need it more than 1st place.
Gio,
No, you see, that would be rewarding bad behavior… while it’s understandable that a Hawaii-living hippy like yourself would think that’s cool, most people believe in a meritocracy around here.
So the winner wins, the loser loses… hence, Madame Bovary.

Read Brian’s book twice. It really is the bible to TA for the new age.
I’m nearly done reading Mark Douglas’s “Trading In the Zone”. I’m basing my entire 2009 game plan on what I’ve learned from his book and traders like Fear and Greed.
Great book on being emotionally consistent as a trader.
Reading a book on trading is like reading a book on surfing.
understanding the mechanics is different than executing the process with style. Ask anyone who surfs.
I would have said skateboarding but I assume less people can relate. Hell, you could say the same thing for nearly everything.
I love reading books, and learning stuff, but especially with trading books, I think the translation from reading to doing requires good ol’ fashioned exp. and practice, not straight to, ‘Oh, I read it, I get it now.”
I think whoever picked the worst performing stock of 2008 (I must be in the running) should receive a copy of Madame Bovary or something.
No, it’s either Thackery’s Vanity Fair, or the autobiography of Mike Ditka.
