Thank Ron. You convinced me to register with DeCarley. Should I go with the Self Direct “Standard” account, or the Self Directed “Pro” account? I have many years of experience. Just not sure of the pros and cons of each.
Also Ron, is there a referral credit I can do so you’ll get credit? You can pm me.
I've been following your progress and just wanted to say excellent work.
To overall summarize your learning/research sources in the last 700 or so pages. From what I've gathered you learnt a lot of your strategies from James Cordier's book (and self-taught of course), is there any other source you recommend? Also does Cordier's book teach futures fundamental analysis (my preferred method as i'm moving away from TA, too much headache).
Also for your daily updates/information on what you would trade, what else do you recommend? I understand you have already mentioned: US Agriculture Publications and Bloomberg Economic Calendar.
I also have accounts with SaxoTrader, what's your opinion on Saxo as an options trading platform.
Yes Cordier's book is heavy on fundamental analysis.
Carley Garner has some books too. Videos too.
Twitter is a good source of info if you follow the right people. John Kemp for oil news for one. Dow Jones if you have access to it. Hightower daily reports. Bloomberg News. Reuters.
Trading: Primarily Energy but also a little Equities, Fixed Income, Metals, U308 and Crypto.

City Trader is the basic platform offered by Options City, who recently got bought by Vela. I know nothing about Vela, but Options City's "Metro" software is a very high end options trading and market making software used by many people that don't have their own in house software. One of their major competitors are Orc. I've seen it several times and if your option-centric it's impressive. Has a TT Xtrader Pro level price tag though.
