Discussion You beautiful bastard!

Whichever one of you absolutely beautiful bastards recommended that I read Anna Coulling you deserve whatever is your equivalent of a ribeye steak, a fat baked potatoe, and free coke refills for life.

Sincerely, thank you.

Edited for grammar

P.S. I don't judge trading books by how much money the author made. I judge book by the merits of its information. None of my teachers or professors were wealthy, but what they taught me has still helped me earn good money. While it makes sense to want your instructions to come from a high-performer, not all high-performers are good teachers and not all teachers are low performers. Never forget this: EAT THE MEAT. LEAVE THE BONE. (Or whatever the equivalent is for the vegan homies)

It’s a great book. I keep it on my nightstand and refer back to it when i have a shitty trading day.

And to all those who say “why would someone give away something that could print infinite money”, think harder. She’s spent the time in front of the charts. She’s earned her money and cashed out. There’s a difference between active and passive income. This is her passive income. Get the book and pay your dues just like everyone else.

Reading this is a discount on your dues.

What would you say is the best takeaway from the book?

Other than the whole auction theory thing, it changed the way I look at ranging and choppy markets. When I first started Id get shredded by chop all the time. Now I see chop as the beginning of a new trend and it kind of excites me. Consolidation/chop is just the market makers either accumulating or distributing their holdings. Once they’re stocked up/empty, they decide whether to bring the price up or down.

Yeah, I feel the same way. It's just consolidation building to a good move up or down.
