<<3d Revised Market Gems Manual 90 pages>> please have patience downloading 209.238.58.46 What I suggest even though table of contents is not numbered just yet is to print the manual on premium inkjet paper (the bright white). I used Bright White Paper for Ink Jet Printers by Avery 3245 which was the best and crispest. It 200 sheets at ($5.99) but the Bright White Inkjet Paper from Hewlett Packard is almost as good at ($8.00) for 500. I then took it to Office Max and had it bound for $2.89. I used a 895cSe color printer on the "presentation" setting because there are color charts. So for about $10.00 you can have an easily accessible colored print version of the manual with a nice plastic cover and a real binding. If any of you want in a few weeks, when the last revision in beta comes out. I'll be getting a mail order house to handle these with postage and handling it would probably be APPROXIMATELY $8.95 with $2.50 for postage and handling in Black and White and $14.95 for premium color version, both bound. This is really only for the expense of the color printing (cartridges, premium paper, and binding) and if you don't have a good printer. At this point it is only available for subscribers. Of course its free if you download and print it yourself. And if you are a web tv subscriber or don't have a printer at all I will be glad to have it done for you sooner, although it still won't be the final revision, but very close. What the final edition after beta, there might be be a collaborative effort, more editing, designing etc. As I said it might be a different format (with more information perhaps) but the 'core' will be the same. If you want a loose leaf so you can add pages but you'll have to hole punch all of them. Its pretty near the last version now and I won't be adding for a while. The next step might be a collaborative effort with someone else that might bring the manual to 125 pages but that won't be done in the too near future. It's will still be in beta for weeks yet, but you'll have something to access in full color without putting out $60 or $80 for a book. I still recommend the newer traders to start with either Getting Started in Technical Analysis by Jack Schwager, The Visual Investor by John Murphy, The Compleat Day Trader by Jake Bernstein and Trading for a Living by Alexander Elder. All are classics in the field and I've read them more than once. Mcmillan on Options is still the definitive book on options and I've find it helped me with just regular trading, its that good. For you Point & Figure addicts, of course, Dorsey's book is King. and any book by Martin Pring as well. Technical analysis of Stock Trends by Robert D. Edwards and John Magee is the 'classic and most interesting' intermediate book I've come across. Its not a hard read but it should not be the first book you tackle. Only if you feel you are ready you can try "Day Trading into the Millennium" by Michael P. Turner. I personally like books with more pages of actual daily charts explaining entry points and the rationale behind the trade than a lot of theory. It took me a year to be ready for Streets Smarts by Linda Bradford Raschke.. and any book by Trader Vic will be helpful to the more intermediate trader. Trader Vic - Methods of a Wall Street Master, is the most interesting. Careful of the booksthat are only about trading systems, they might not do for you what the author claims it does for him and if you are a market Gems Subscriber you don't need them anyway. If you like level II, I suggest you go to the Pristine.com site and see their educational articles and suggestions. They are the definitive "swing traders" best guide. For general charts on market climate McClellan Oscillator, New highs new lows, Trix, etc decisionpoint.com also has a short course on TA.
