In addition to the extremely insightful and informational books cited


previously, I recommend a few services that provide web-based trading
platforms, price quotes, charting capabilities, and other research.

FactorTrading.com: This is the official web site of Factor LLC. The web
site attempts to identify and report on the best examples of classical
chart patterns in the commodity and forex markets. Periodic chart
stocks are also featured.
Mercenarytrader.com: This quirky and brilliant web site is written
for professional traders by a couple of skilled professional specula-
tors (using pseudonyms). Mercenarytrader provides unusual macro
analyses of markets and global economics that break the mold of
conventional wisdom. The authors/traders frequently blow holes
through the sacred cows of Wall Street. Loaded with great insight
on the things that really matter to be profitable.
Trade Navigator: By Genesis Financial Technologies, Colorado
Springs, CO (800) 809-3282. For the money this is the best and
most user-friendly quote and charting platform available. Actual
trading can be executed from the platform through selected futures
commission merchants (FCMs). Live customer support is readily
available and extremely knowledgeable.
Commodity Research Bureau: I grew up as a trader with CRB prod-
ucts and services. CRB has been serving the commodity industry
with excellent resources for more than 70 years. CRBtrader.com
provides a multitude of valuable market research and quote and
charting functions.
Barchart.com: This is a free web site with quote and charting capa-
bility. When I am on the road without my own computer I stay
in contact with the charts through Barchart.com. I weekly print
off the charts for the markets I will be closely monitoring from
Barchart.com, using the “Classic Style Chart” setting. I then keep
these charts up to date throughout the week by hand.
