Hi David

and congratulations for your very helpful and eye-opening website; many thanks for dedicating a considerable amount of time to this effort.

I am new to trading and I would prefer from now on to mainly deal with stocks and occassionally FX. I have read few books, mainly on technical analysis, and I found your tutorials a very good compliment to whatever these books had to say. However, I am still confused with the concept of "the edge" (please be advised, English is not my native language).

Is it an inside knowledge of a sector, traders tactics, trading plans, news watching, access to sensitive market information etc?

I know the question may sound "idiotic", apologies for probably wasting your time, but I seem to struggle to digest this concept...

kind regards

Miltos
