Just like the markets, IT is as predictable! My laptop gave me blue screens after blue screens (so now you know which OS I am using ) while I was looking at the charts. Apologies for all the late responses and for this late blog post Lucky I was just paper trading, can you imagine when you have entered a futures position and the laptop died on you??!!! That’s why stop losses are important and should be entered at the same time when setting up your trade. Else, you can consider getting a UPS

For those of us who are learning the art of trading, we will be looking at seminars, course, books, blogs and other internet resources…Wait! Here is another good resource - trading magazines! Check out these online magazines (aka e-zines) with free subscriptions here:

For Options and Futures - Futures and Options Trader

For Forex - Currency Trader

Most of the articles in these magazines are contributed by people who are custodians in trading, or professionals working in banks or brokerages or other financial industries…

How have the magazines benefited me?

I must admit that the magazines are not for the true blue beginners. Sometimes, the articles may write about more advance strategies or concepts. I scan the magazines for useful trading websites or tools that I can try. Some articles helped me realize which aspects of trading that I could look into, besides just strategies, strategies and strategies. While reading what the experts write about, it makes me realize what I am getting myself into and what is installed for me in this journey towards becoming a trader.

Well, as of now they are still free. What are you waiting for?
