Weekend Reading For Mar 10 - 11, 2007

In "Weekend Reading" I'll collect what I thought were the best posts and articles for the week from various bloggers.

I only focus on posts and links that relate to trader improvement or trading in general.

There's nothing like getting over a bad week than to read up on articles about trading. Not only does it lift your spirits, but you might even learn a thing or two!

Here's this weekend's edition:

• Here are some great points to ponder done by Lifepost over there at High Probability Trading entitled Stop Loss, WHERE IS IT? that really helped me along with my trading struggles
