Who can you really trust to lead you down the right trading path and not down the garden path.The more trading books,articles and forum posts that i read the more i realise that the authors however good their intentions could be doing more harm than good to their readers.
For instance,how many trading books have you started reading only to get halfway through and the author starts going on about how you can visit his website where low and behold he happens to be selling a very expensive training programme or cant fail signal service.I dont know about you but as soon as i see the first telltail signs of a rip off i just want to throw the book in the bin!
Another bug bear of mine is the system forum.When i first start reading a thread the first thing i find myself looking for is the blatent contradiction,that can take the form of an outright lie about making x amount of money in a week or something like i dont trade during major news and then two weeks later publishing trade set ups just before major news.
One more thing,i cant fathom why people publish a set of rules for a system and when you ask them do you take every trade signal that you system offers,they answer something like"no i only take A+++ set up".That gets the alarm bells ringing to me,why dont they include the A+++ set up in the original rules?
Anybody feel the same?
