For the next interview in the StockTickr Interview Series (RSS feed), I spoke with Joey Fundora, a.k.a. DownTown Trader. Joey caught my eye when TraderMike linked to his site a while back.

You can tell Joey puts a lot of work into his site. He is always posting lots of charts for stocks in interesting situations. Joey has done quite well in the markets as well - take a look at his November review from last year. Joey’s also a StockTickr Pro user and has made a ton of great suggestions for the service that we’ve quickly implemented. (Thanks, Joey!)

Joey gives a lot of good information in this interview. I also like that he’s recommended a couple new books that I hadn’t heard of. He’s agreed to answer questions in the comments - so ask away!

Dr. Van Tharp has released a new edition of his popular book, Trade Your Way to Financial Freedom. I know many of you have read his first edition and it changed the way you trade - it certainly changed my outlook on the markets and trading systems. If you are creating a trading system for yourself, this book has some great information about how to do it and why some systems work for some people and not others.

Dr. Van Tharp was interviewed in the popular Market Wizards book and I had the honor of interviewing him in the StockTickr Interview Series back in May. I’ve contacted Dr. Tharp’s company about setting up another mini-interview about this new edition of the book and how it came about.

If you’ve already read the first edition and you’re wondering whether to get the second edition, here’s Dr. Van Tharp’s answer to that question:

I have the original edition - do I really need the new edition?

Dr. Tharp: In my opinion, yes. The 2nd edition is more complete, more understandable, and more current for the realities of the world we now live in. No book can keep up with events on a real time basis, so my goal for this edition was to capture the major changes that have occurred since 1999 and offer improved perspective on how to trade successfully in current and future markets.

I have also incorporated feedback and suggestions from the thousands of people who benefited from the 1st edition. They have been generous with their insights about topics that needed a bit more clarity, concepts that needed more detail, and which sections were especially useful just the way they were.

If you already have the 1st edition - thank you! I am confident that you found it interesting, enlightening, and most importantly, empowering and profitable. The 2nd edition of Trade Your Way To Financial Freedom offers even more information and guidance to help you improve your trading and financial performance. You will benefit tremendously from this updated and improved edition.

Read on for more about how Brian developed his trading system, how he thinks about the markets, and what ingredient he believes is the most important to long term trading success.
