Chris; RE:" books " >I recall you recommended two books and if you would post them again... Begin with the original text, Chris - it is a beautiful introduction: "Japanese Candlestick Charting Techniques", Steve Nison, New York Institute of Finance / Simon Schuster. amazon.com and supplement this with the best-detailed compilation: "Candlestick Charting Explained", Gregory Morris, Probus Publishing Company. amazon.com ...if you can afford but one, buy the latter as paperback. >I'm going to buy the book you mentioned "Options as a Strategic Investment"... This is a thick, graduate-level textbook, Chris. optionstrategist.com ...when I ordered my copy direct, it arrived in Paris signed by the author, which was a nice touch. There is a little CliffNotes - type summary booklet of this master opus available free, buried away at the CME website: cme.com ...called, "21 Proven Strategies for E-Mini S&P-500 Options". This booklet has little to do with the E-Mini: it has simplified diagrams of all the spreads; one can use it as a kind of quick reference with pointers to appropriate sections in the McMillan book. This free "E-Mini S&P-500 Trading Kit" package from the CME will be sent to you by snail-post, Chris - included is a little "options expiration date calendar" card that makes a righteous bookmark for the McMillan reference (^_^) Happy to recommend these books to you, Chris - in sincere gratitude for all the things that you have recently taught me ! -Steve
