I some how stumbled upon Mike’s site and from there following his posts and links ended up reading through all the blogs and especially Maoxian, Stocktickr, and Trader-X. I want to say that I am sold on the dummy style of trading and looking forward to reading more of the various insights you can guys can provide while I try to construct my own system. Thanks again. -Andrew Hey,
