- Great ReadI bought both of this author's books on the recommendation of Amazon. The first book, the Complete TurtleTrader was the one that I read first. I wish I would have read them in reverse.

- Listen to the author's podcasts before you dismiss him based on negative reviews.I discovered Michael Covel in a web search for "trading podcasts" and find his audio diatribes refreshing, inspiring, offering a real perspective on trading discipline.
A link to the podcast directory is at the turtletrader dot com web site, they are just a few minutes in length and worth your time.
At least listen to the one titled "Understand your emotions", it is worth your time and an important reminder to anyone running any amount of money.
