New Interesting Trading Books?

Recommended Posts

All of you post some interesting trading books, but some of them are not new trading books as mentioned in the title thread, :o, just joking.

 

Another new trading book I'll mention is Bryce Gilmore's Price Action Manual - One Day at a Time 2007, another very practical S&P trading handbook. Bryce even offers his ES Price Action Chronicles Vol 1 for A$1 only.

a very new trading book by suri duddella, "Trade Chart Patterns like the Pros", a very practical trading handbook if you like pattern trading, imho

 

Jesse:

I am already familiar with 95% of the patterns listed in the table of content. Do you think I will still benefit from reading the book ?

 

 

Thanks

The Professional Commodity Trader by Stan Kroll.....

 

nice...I always get books for christmas, have to add this one to the list. I'm a sucker for any old book under 10 bucks.

Tops for my list are Steenbarger's last book, The Nature of Risk by Justin Mamis and Markets in Profile.

Barnes and Noble has the Way of the Turtle in the stores, if anyone is thinking of getting that I would read it there first. Really seemed pretty useless.

I have communicated with suri duddella personally from time to time over the years, he is a knowledgeable trader and programmer. He self-published the book and is not strictly an "author" as many are on the subject. It's amazing how many authors/promoters in this business do not even trade anymore. Maybe its not so amazing. There are even more traders who drop big $ on this stuff.

Consider that cheap. $250.00 is the electronic version, the hardcopy preceding this one by the same author used to sell for $850.00:o

I see most folks here are into technical manual type books, but for a new stock trader "Reminiscences of a stock operator" and Cramers first book "Confessions of a street addict" are more fun than educational but worth the time.

I would recommend the books by Thomas Bulkowski, he includes a lot of statistcial analysis as to what works and what doesn't, % successes etc. He also has a web site http://thepatternsite.com/

 

One caveat - he and others have suggested recently that classic patterns are failing more often than in the past, probably due to the numbers of people trying to trade them.

 

It also seems to be the cases that rather than totally failing many patterns are apparently failing but can be jumped into a little later (eg the apparent break up, which then breaks down, goes sideways and then suddenly resumes the direction originally expected.

Forgive my cynicism, but most everything that is written and is for sale is being sold because it is yesterdays news. Nothing that truly would make you profitable is for sale. Could you imagine someone selling what really works.

As crazy as it may seem you'd have a much better chance of success by sticking to this site than by reading trading books. At least then you might run into some generous and sympathetic traders who want to pass on their knowledge / help.

I guess the thing to do then is to read books that deal with 'principles' or 'fundamental truths' about markets. There are some books that do contain a bit of 'wisdom' too.

That's a good way to put it BlowFish. What are your top 3 or 4 books that have taught you those market principles? Thanks in advance.

All time favourite is Reminiscences (of a stock operator). After that it get's a bit more tricky. I started re-reading Market Wizard over Xmas, and am enjoying that for odd bit's of 'wisdom'. I always like stuff on price action Dunnigan is a favourite though Gann wrote good stuff on PA too. Studies in Tape reading ....I could start going on and on here so should stop. Looking at the title of the thread I see it is 'interesting' rather than 'useful' I go through phases of reading quite a lot that is 'interesting' but perhaps of limited (if any) use :D

 

I am inclined to agree with you, there is much that is good here on TL. Thales Real time thread, DBPhoenix's burrow spring to mind. Jperls market stats threads which opened my eyes to a whole other set of statistical principles.

I too have read Schwager's books on fundamental and technical analysis, he is thorough. In fact his work introduced me to Thomas Demarks books and together with Jason Perls book on Demark Indicators I bought all 4, some really good stuff.

Have read Dunnigans "New Blueprints for Gains in Stocks and Grains & One Way Formula for Trading in Stocks & Commodities" it just didn't sink in with me, but maybe it's just me. Once I learned to look at the market in new ways some of those older books don't seem to strike a chord anymore, but who knows, down the road it may hit the spot.

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful.
