I am a 100% technical trader. I started on this journey over 5 years ago after getting fed up slaving my ass for someone else and just having the illusion of stability and good salary. What I really wanted was financial freedom and time to do the things that I love. The only thing in the world that gave that opportunity to me was trading, but it wasn´t easy.

I am not trying to sell a course here, I am just giving a tip if you wanna study and practice trading and don´t know where to start. If I knew what to focus on since the beginning it surely wouldn´t have taken 5 years to be a full time trader, and by that I mean that I only trade for a living, not that spend the whole day trading, which is something you don´t wanna do. But at the beginning of your journey you gonna have to, more ore less.

Anyways, after hoarding and studying and watching all trading books/courses you can find on this Earth and blowing up 3 accounts I was about to give up this endeavor when I discovered a method called VSA (Volume Spread Analysis). It is a modern adaptation of the Wyckoff method, created by the late Tom Williams, former syndicate trader.

Richard Wyckoff was a legendary trader from the early 1900´s.

It was the first time that I went "A-ha!" when finally learned how to really read a chart properly like a musical sheet.

But my story is no different than every other successful trader out there, if you read enough books you will notice a very similar journey of discoveries, a lot of losses and finally getting a hang of this thing.

Trading is the hardest way of making easy money.

What I recommend (which is what I did and still do) is:

1st - Read "Master The Markets" by Tom Williams as many times necessary to understand all principles and how to read a chart properly using HLC bars and volume only. This is the "ABC" of the method, you should know this book by heart. Grab a notebook and a pen, make your own notes, after you read the book a couple of times go to charts and try to apply the knowledge, see if you can see the stuff on the charts.

2nd - Now you can read "Trades About To Happen" by David Weis, I recommend this book for 2nd because it is more dense and if you go "green" to it you won?t absorb as much. Do the same thing you did with MTM, read as many times necessary, and keep rereading from time to time.

3rd - Now I recommend watching the Chart Reading Mastery course by Dr. Gary Dayton, it will serve as a review of everything you studied above, and if something still wasn?t clear for you, with this course it shall make sense. Watch this course as many times needed, go to charts, watch market replay, practice on demo, etc... before trading with real money.

If you did everything above then you should get a very good understanding of the method, then what is needed is practice practice practice, I mean a lot... This is a discretionary method, an art. If you don´t practice you don´t build trust in the method then you gonna hesitate to take the trades.

Hi there guys, I have just finished reading The Red Pill Handbook and I really loved it. I wish I had that knowledge years ago. Do you have more books to recommend that follow the same TRP mindset? I wanna know more!

I was searching for a couple of books at PDFdrive and this one popped on the list.

It is called "What Women Want In A Man: How to Become the Alpha Male Women Respect, Desire, and Want to Submit To" lol

So I went to amazon to check the reviews, it has almost a 5 star review. But I went to check the reviews and I found it weird that a lot of the reviews are from women! And they are praising the book. So it obviously has something wrong with it. I haven´t read the book yet but I am getting a feeling that this book is more about "How To Become A Beta" hehe.

Here is the link:

What do you guys think?
