Jen: Try buy.com. Just purchased it last night along with P&F Charting and the other one mentioned by Judy. All 3 cost less than $80 incl shipping. Tim

You are welcome... I see by your training that you must enjoy yourself observing and "playing" in this gigantic "chess board" If you ever have the chance, go to Chicago and try to get in on the floor of the CME, CBOT, or CBOE. (the visitor's gallery is o.k., but being on the floor is the real thing.) And try having one of the local experts explain to you the function of the people in the pits and around. It gives you a better understanding of what is behind the markets and how it operates. For one, you understand the risks that some of the traders take, and how important for the liquidity of each market, such willingness to take the risk represent. These markets are the true last bastion of Laissez Faire Capitalism. Billions of dollars exchanging hands, based on buy/sell agreements sealed by mere movement of hands, and/or eye contact. True and honest "trust". And the best of all.... it is self regulated, run by its own members. Understanding the psychology of markets, and how it affects trading behavior are powerful tools in this "game" They have a great poster that says: "Risk Not Thy Whole Wad". A simple but wise statement.
