New Student Bridging the Gap

Post by Trader Question »

I have two major questions. First, I'm designing a computer that will not only store the 30 lessons but will also satisfy ALL my trading needs for atleast 2-3 years. I prefer a laptop for portability but if a desk top computer is preferred so be it. What specs would you suggest to give this computer a Ferrari feel?
Secondly, my abslute very first exposure to the markets was when I purchased your entire program. "How to make money in the markets" is
written for someone who already knows atleast something about trading. What resource or book would you recommend to help me bridge my gap of
understanding?

As promised, here are some references to books that are a bit more general
in nature. There are tons and tons of books and publications in this
field. These may not be the newest but they won't steer you wrong.

On futures and commodity trading, the Chicago Board of Trade publishes a standard text book that is very good:

Similarly the New York Stock Exchange publishes educational material. I am not as familiar with this work but it looks like the right item for you to start with:

John Murphy has written a standard reference book on technical analysis.
What you will learn in Drummond Geometry will go far beyond this but it will give you some general background in the field.
