Trading Books

Essential reading for any budding trader from any planet.
Find out why trading is exactly 100% psychological.
If you harbour any other point of view, read this, you must.

Cheers, Yoda.

I think this book is over-rated. You can find better information in other books. For example, Alexander Elder's "Trading for a Living: Psychology, Trading Tactics, Money Management," and William O'Neil's "How To Make Money In Stocks: A Winning System in Good Times or Bad, 3rd Edition." Both books are good and easy to read.

If you are looking for trading recipies, this is NOT the book for you. This books describes the trading process in an open approach, whithout selling speaches, trading formulas or magical enchaments. It describes the importance of risk management of your trades, and the pshycology and biases that are part of every system. Though general, the offered information serves both from what someone would call academic understanding, and the practical side of trading. The book is not academic though, as you will not see tons of equations, proofs, or algorithms.
I think it is a must for everone that does not want to jump into trading someone elses formulas, but to understand the mechanics and the psycology of trading. It contains references to other books that will help you understand the trade reciepies.
So if you want to understand what you are doing, or at least what you are supposed to do and the biases associated to your decisions, buy the book. If you want to trade like a maniatic daredevil who is told what to do by following nonsense schemes, you dont need this book.
No wonder why some readers were dissapointed. My impression, its the readers fault not to aim to higher goals while buying and reading a trading book.

This is the best book I've ever read about trading. The position sizing topics alone are gold and can be the difference of being successful or not. but there's much more. Excellent to guide you to create your own system. This book is gold. You won't be disappointed.

I'm of the opinion that reviews on stock trading books depend more on degree on the experience and outlook of the reviewer more than the book. At times this makes it difficult to figure whether a book is going to be relevant to me. So I'll describe myself a bit.

I have been investing in stocks for many years using the stock picks from one or two good sources. It's been a way to build retirement income in my spare time. I've been moderately successful, but nothing to brag about. In the past few years I've been gradually becoming more active in trading, making many trades a month and recently many per week. I'm considering trading as a living or at least a part-time income.

I've studied fundamental and technical analysis through literature, webs sites, some books, newsletters, and my broker's courses, though I don't pretend to be even close to being any sort of expert. Tharp's book is the first time I've seen what I would consider a fundamental "text book" on trading. It's not a book on how to pick stocks or entry points though the subjects are discussed in the context of an overall system.

Tharp has created a paradigm shift in my thinking. He walks you through all the elements of a successful trading system, including how to define and measure one and how to think about trading. He asks questions and gives practical examples so you get the ideas and the importance of the issues. He's careful to work through examples and explain himself better than any financial book I've read so far, though he does not explain some technical analysis terms. But they aren't necessary to getting the value of the book (and give you some good topics for your own research). I've been at it long enough to realize that he's pretty thorough in the issues he wants you to consider. He also dispels commonly accepted thinking that leads to poor performance (read "loosing money").

If you are looking for fast answers, a get rich scheme, or an algorithm that will tell you how to find winners, what to buy and when to buy it, then you will probably be disappointed - but in fact you may need the book more than you realize.

I wish I had read this book years ago. It would have corrected my understandings of what investment trading is all about and how to go about it. I particularly appreciated the detailed explanations of risk verses reward and position sizing. I have heard "risk vs reward" talked about in many places, but never had it explained in a way that I could use it.

His examples may seem belabored to some, but they helped cement the concepts into my mind. I found Tharp's personable style and stories made the book easy to read and helpful.

If you have been trading for years and are comfortable with it and make money, then you may not gain much from the book. To everyone else I recommend it.

Internalize the 5 fundamental truths as proposed by Mark Douglas, they are applicable not just to trading but also to one's career and personal life. In my opinion, a must-have in one's personal library.

This is a super book.
The focus is on improving yourself as a trader, but the material can be applied to any aspect of yourself that you wish to understand or improve.

The explanation about how the our minds create, maintain and use our beliefs is very clear and simple. The explanation of how are minds function with exiting beliefs is followed by methods for overcoming limiting behaviors and instilling new beliefs.

A quote that I think we have all been told in some form or another has much clearer personal meaning after reading this book.
"When it comes to personal transformation, the most important ingredients are your willingness to change, the clarity of your intent, and the strength of your desire."

If you're willing to work on yourself, this book is a fantastic guide.

If you are a new trader, you probably won't "get" this book. It takes some time and pain to realize there's a problem beyond market knowledge. The author says as much.

I read the three star review and I agree with it---there's a lot of words in this book. BUT, as that reviewer said, the gems are there and worth every penny I spent on this book. I'd have paid a thousand dollars for them. I actually bought it because another reviewer said it was the best book he'd read on trading. I'd have to agree.

I have fabulous trading days only to have them followed by disaster days. I thought this was just me, but this book says one thing that will hit home to those who trade: euphoria leads to reckless trading. That's exactly the thought I couldn't put into words and hearing him I realized I'm not alone.

I wasn't going to review the book because I don't need the competition, but then I realized what he says is true---there are few great traders.

And, it doesn't hurt to read this essential book again every couple of years either as your trading develops and matures.

Some reviewers are critical of the style of writing (psycho babble, motivational, etc) and some are critical of the quality of the writing. Some even think the book is over rated. Don't be swayed by the critics -- just get the book and read it.

You'll find that the message (regardless of the delivery or the style of the writing) is all that matters. If at first the message seems redundant or unfamiliar or a bit uncomfortable, keep an open mind. Remember, repetition of a message enables you to integrate it more effectively. And, if the ideas are a little "out there" for you, it is the revolutionary ideas that are often the ones that inspire true discovery (in trading and life).

Mastering our trading psychology and self awareness is the key to pulling all the other elements together. A terrific system plus great fundamentals won't add up to consistent profitability unless we can master our mind.

This book changed the way I think and act when trading. If you are an experienced trader or a new trader, this book is a must. It's one of the only sources that focuses on the mental aspect of trading. There are piles of technical, fundamental and system trading books, but this author will introduce you to the most important part of trading - your mind and how to control emotion when putting on a trade!

Do you remember your favorite teacher or professor? The one who made you want to learn the subject? This book is like that. It's entertaining. I couldn't put it down.

Wow! On Writing Well The Classic Guide to Writing Nonfiction is a book that should be in every writers/authors library.

The book is easy to read and there is no clutter. As a reader, I want to get to know the author. William Zinsser definitely has a style I will not soon forget!Diabetes Can Be Sweet . . . Once You Bury It

When I bought this book I had already read it. When it arrived, I read it again. As in the first round, I thought the same could be said in much less. It is paradoxical, because the book argues against clutter. This could sound as criticism, but it is not. It is just the price you have to pay in order to get a book published. No one would print a book of thirty pages.

This being said, I add that the ideas written in this book are the ones which any scientific or technical writer must bear in mind. They should be the standard in anybody's mind. Diverging from them is possible and sometimes successful, but risky unless the writer is especially trained or gifted for language. In summary: buy this book. It's worth its price.

In case you don't want to, I sum it up for you: straight words, short number of them, short sentences with as few subordinates as possible and revision and rewriting above all... and some justifications and variations on this philosophy. If you need to be convinced or are curious about why, or simply want examples of all kinds, buy the book.

This book is a good read and offers some solid advice. It doesn't teach writing, but rather offers tips to keep in mind while writing. I feel that some parts of the book are hypocritical, especially when Zinsser uses some tougher vocabulary, but you cannot expect a teacher, writer, and editor to write a book in "see spot run" style, which is what I'm discovering to be the basis of the negative reviews. I don't feel the book offers enough methods to improve writing, especially when it comes to how to reduce clutter. In order to follow the tips and advices Zinsser offers, you have to think and word hard. For $14.95 or less, this book is definitely worth it. This book is easy to understand (even if you're a high school student), with an overall simple, yet unique language and style. The insight it offers is priceless regardless of what profession you are in. Read it, enjoy it, remember it! =]

Whether you are an amateur or professional writer, this book is a must. If you buy only one book on writing, make it On Writing Well. It is a treasure trove. I learned something on every page, and I have been writing professionally for more than 25 years.

I just finished reading this book.
Everybody who does not have time to read and understand Warren Buffet's methodly for investing should read this once.
I would call this as 101 in investing.
I have several years of experience in trading.
When I started reading this I marked the interesting lines/para.
Finally I found out I had marked almost the whole book.
He could have been a very good teacher.
I am thinking of buying several books to give as gift to some of my friends and relatives.

One little criticism in general:
Either this book or random walk on wall street finally conclude saying trade. That is what most of us are doing. The biggest differnce is that; This book says that pick a fundamentaly great stock then trade it until .... you find out.

How to pick a great stock? Buy and read it you will be happy you did it.

Very good value per dollar.

Thanks Phil Town.

For the first time, i feel like i have the tools to start looking at stocks, individually. I am already well invested in work retirement plans with mutual funds, and am, of course, unhappy wiht the results of the past 8 years. But, with these tools, my son and I are venturing into investing on our own as well. THanks Phil for demystifying the process.

This is by far one of the best books on personal finance I have read. It's written in a way that everyone can understand. At one point in the book, Phil makes a suggestion that people give this investment advice to their children at 15 years old and let them start to use the Rule #1 investment strategy; I completely agree. I think the principles are easy to understand and provide sound advice. This book teaches two fundamentals that are commonly lost on people when investing in the stock market: (1) Know the value of what you're buying, (2) If you become "financially literate", you will no longer need people to invest for you.

I loved the book and I'm telling everyone about it!

Phil seems like a nice guy and I'm glad he is sharing his investment knowledge because it appears by all accounts rock solid. But this book could have easily been cut in half in terms of number of pages to reduce the number of times he repeats himself. It seems like he mentions the calculators on his website every other page. It's almost as if the book was written so that if you picked it up in the bookstore and opened it to any random section there would be a mention of his website or the term "Rule #1". In addition, he dangles the carrot in front of you forever before getting to the goods. Folks this gets VERY tiring when you just want to get to at least a morsel of pertinent information. This book would get only one star from me had the strategy laid out not been so enlightening. I am not an author and I have never written a negative book review before...

Great book about the strategy of investing. Solid advice written in practical language for the novice; good even for seasoned "I know it all" investors and investment consultants. Common sense to the max!!!

This is one of the best she's written since after she wrote Kill and Tell. This story grabbed me from the first chapter. It made me angry, it made me cry. It made me go kiss all my own kids and say a prayer for all that I have. I totally forgot that this was fantasy while reading this work. This author is sensational. This book is why she is my favorite. She did not disappoint.

The first 100 pages and the last 80 were full of grieving and sorrow. I was crying more than I liked. Milla's infant in stolen from her and she is searching for 10 years for him. Then she meets Diaz an assassin who helps her. With his help she gets answers and they develop a relationship. This part of the story was good. I loved the Diaz character. There were a couple of lines about Diaz that intrigued me, which follow. "women tended to be afraid of him. He tried never to be rough, but nevertheless there was a fireceness to his lovemaking that seemed to intimidate them." (P 127). "Diaz wasn't taking care of her out of the goodness of his heart. He was taking care of her the way a wolf cared for its wounded mate." (p 364). So, Diaz was interesting, but I had other problems with the book. During Milla's search for her son, she put herself in danger and nearly got killed three times because she was too emotionally unstable to act in a safe manner. I also had problems with the author who had Diaz do something which caused Milla to hate him (p 317). I felt like the author couldn't think of a better way to separate them and used this. It was out of character for Diaz. He could read people and would have known her feelings. The reason he gave later for doing it did not make sense to me.

Sexual language: moderate. Number of sex scenes: six. Setting: 1993 Mexico and 2003 El Paso, Texas. Copyright: 2003. Genre: romantic suspense.

The first chapter of Cry No More sets the stage for what will eventually be a heartwrenching tale. When readers meet the heroine, Milla Boone, she is living in Mexico with her husband, a surgeon who is there on sabbatical with a group of American doctors. Milla is taking care of her six-week-old son when he is taken from her, while she's left to fight for her life. For the next decade, Milla is consumed with finding her missing child. She spearheads a group called Finders, which is dedicated to finding missing persons. All the while her lost child is at the forefront of her mind. Milla will do anything to find him, and the peace of mind that she feels his return might bring.

Cry No More has all the makings of a tearjerker, and was deliciously fulfilling and well written. But I didn't cry. I came close once. But for me the story was more enjoyable and engrossing than emotional. I rooted for Milla, for her quest for answers, for her to find her son, for her to be able to move on with her life, but I didn't pity her or empathize with her. She seemed to strong and solid for that. As a character, I don't think she'd want my pity--or my tears for that matter. Or maybe I'm just made of sterner stuff than the typical romance reader. Regardless, Cry No More will take you on a journey that is both enjoyable and difficult to turn away from. Read it when you've got a long weekend ahead of you to become engrossed in the story.

This is my first book by this author and I couldn't put it down. I especially liked Diaz - talk about your strong silent type! Yum!

I'm not a romance reader but this one was well worth the time. I couldn't put it down and yes, I cried too. I'm not familiar with Linda Howard and hope she has more books with the main character, Milla Edge. When so many books are just ok, this one is definitely fantastic. A great read!

Worth the time to learn how expert traders analyze the market. One of many in my collection.

Nutshell review - an entertaining book with lots of insights and ideas from some of the most sucessful market traders. Worth reading.

I am kind of critical to these books. Probably half of the interviews are worthwhile to read. Some trading styles are enlightening. Last chapter is full of BS though. All in all, a good read!

I generally only read textbooks about trading. Statistics, technical analysis, calculus etc. However, this very entertaining collection of interviews may be my favorite and most informative read. The stories give re-assurance that an individual can succeed through their own studies, analysis and effort. If you read carefully between the lines, you can figure out how the best in the business are operating and how they are formulating their strategies.

I have traded off and on over the years from futures contracts, options on stocks and futures, and stocks. I have used technical analysis, fundamental, and both. I have been in and out of the market because of losses, gains, losses, and said chuck it, I will buy ETFs and Mutual Funds. But I always come back to the market and tech analysis again.

If you have found that you have a real interest in trading/investing and want to make it a career, not just because of the money potential, but because you like the hunt, analysis, and challenge, get this book.

You will read real life stories of people that lost in the start, or lost it all, and then finally figured out the game (that fits their own style) and made millions. There are many PROs in the book that dish out some very insightful information. I can say it sure is encouraging to hear that these folks at times had a rough start but never gave up. Even if you do not want to buy stocks directly and just want to invest in the mutual funds, this book is really a fascinating look at the pros in this business. These folks in this book are the real pros and not just some analyst writing a recommendation to make a days wage.

this is the 2nd book in the J D Robb collection that I have read. I love this collection!

If you have not read any of J.D. books you need to. You will fall in love with Eve Dallas.

Where some authors start to lose their writing style/tempo in later books, JDR just gets better and better. I had an idea who the killer could possibly be half way through the book, but it didn't deter me from completing the story.
Love how JDR flips from the emotions of one character to another.
This is a definite must read. Am so looking forward to 'Creation in Death'.

I always enjoy great escapist reading and Innocent in Death is guaranteed to keep any reader riveted until the very last page. Set in a futuristic New York City and inhabited by engaging characters this book is all things to all readers....romance novel, thriller, gripping mystery and more.

It features a strong, capable (yet vulnerable) female Detective named Eve Dallas, her uber-successful drop dead gorgeous hubby Roarke; Sommerset, their dedicated, faithful and somewhat acerbic major-domo, Roarke's manipulative, sexy and equally gorgeous old flame Magdelana Percell a woman used to getting what she wants....and she wants Roarke; and Eve's partner, the ever observant Peabody.

Added to the romantic triangle aspect of the story is a fascinating mystery concerning the murder of a history teacher at a posh local girl's school. With no obvious motive for the killing, Eve is at a loss in deducing who the culprit could be. The author has provided us with a plethora of possible candidates from rival teachers to spouses to lovers as well as a look at 21st century technology.

Divulging any more details might spoil your enjoyment of this extraordinary tale. So, if your curiosity has been piqued, buy the book and enjoy.

"The Death Series" just goes on & on with no let up in quality and no drop in one's pleasure in reading the book. She transports you to another New york City that's so much the same as today And so different but plausible that it could really be New York in 2059. But that's just the background! The plot twists & turns are always fresh & never stop coming - her characters are old & familiar but in a fun, comfortable way that the reader can always count on & also be on the alert for new changes in their personal lives. Where dores she keep coming up with these new crimes and plots??? What a gifted writer. I feel sorry for anyone who hasn't had the hundreds of hours of pleasure I've had from reading this series sterting with the very first book. Don't miss a single one.

Seems to be quite a few negative reviews. Must be by people who have never tried to trade. Yes the author is redundant, but by no means is it as redundant as described by others. This is a very good book and a must read for anyone serious about trading.

Author Mark Douglas explains that he lost almost everything he owned because of bad trading decisions. The experience led him to rigorous self-examination, and he discovered that emotions, especially fear, had led him to trade imprudently. He went on to write this straightforward, very penetrating explanation of the role of beliefs and emotions in trading. This is not an abstract academic exercise. Douglas is a trader talking to traders. He is thorough and practical in his analysis and advice. At times, his style may be awkward, stilted and even cumbersome; however, these flaws do not prevent him from communicating important, useful information. Although the book is specifically about emotional and psychological factors as they affect trading, readers are likely to notice that these influences are active in other dimensions of their lives as well. getAbstract finds that this is quite a good little book that has stood the test of time, despites changes in the technology of trading.

I had high hopes for this book, because I strongly believe that the psychology of trading is half the battle. Sure, you need to know the technicalities of how to use various stockbroker order types and how to spot opportunities based on fundamentals or price action; but you also need to make decisive entries and exits unhindered by the emotions of fear and greed. In fact, other traders' fear and greed may be your ally.

Parts I and II of the book were what I expected -- psychology in the context of stock market trading.

Part III was very disappointing; the kind of pseudo-psychology to be found in many self-help books. Not only did this have little or nothing to do with trading, but it was also based on very dodgy science. I quote from page 100 "The experiences [...] will be transformed into electrical impulses of energy [...], the experiences will carry an eletrical charge [which] will be either positive or negative." I get this as an analogy; but to state baldly that positive experiences will be stored in the brain with positive charge whereas nagative experiences will stored with negative charge is ridiculous and plain wrong.

Part IV had the right trading bias, and contained useful information about market support and resistance points as a function of the market participants' psychologies and future expectations. In this part, the book redeemed itself -- but it was too little, too late, for me.

Throughout the book there is an undercurrent of advice to cut your losses efficiently without emotion when the market does not go the way you expect. Sound advice.

Financial Trading Patterns

Guys,

This book is absolutely awesome. I have nothing against it, and I consider it a must read for any trader. My purpose of this review is to caution you that there are missing chapters in the book that I received. It looks like the publisher screwed up.... Just a caution.

This is the best book I have read on trading psychology. I almost complete my second reading now, and I am "shocked" how many gems I missed during my first reading...

The best advice I get out from this book is "there're no failures or mistakes in trading, they are only reflections of what one needs to learn to grow." I have found many of the wisdom and "revealations" apply not only to improving trading results but also to almost all aspects of living too. Highly recommended to new traders!

I have now read 4 of Howard's books and think they give a lot of useful information to traders. I recommend this one and The Electronic trading of Options. Day Trader's Advantage is also very good. I also like Murphy's and Schwager's books.

I read about five books on trading techniques in the last four weeks before writing this review, and liked this one least of all. I never actually count pages in a book when writing a review, but I was so much surprised how such a (considerably) thick book can contain so little useful information that I made an exception. Judge by yourself: the structure of this book is as follows:

The first 35 pages (sec. 1-3) is a broad introduction into the psychology of successful day trading, which says all correct things but its style is so dry that you would rather skip to the next section than to read it carefully. Even if you do read every word, you will get such absolutely correct but next to useless statements as the following recipe for successful trading (p.33): "1) identify an opportunity, 2) take immediate action (buy or cell), and 3) feel good no matter the result as long as the trade is consistent with you specific method or technical bias and was based on probability".

The second part of the book (Sec. 4) uses another 50 pages for interviews with several successful traders. This section is not too bad, although one cannot expect to learn much about techniques of successful individuals (even assuming that they are willing to disclose all their secrets) from 6-10 page-long interviews.

The third part on technical analysis is the most useful part of the book. It discusses how to identify trends and select entry points. Unfortunately, the charts used to illustrate the text are too numerous and large, and the text itself tends to be somewhat on the side of general statements. It is sufficient to say that about 50 out of 80 pages in this section are charts, and in my opinion only about 10 pages contain really useful concrete practical wisdom. These 10 pages were very useful since they suggest analysis techniques which I have not seen anywhere else, but its only 10 pages out of 260!

The rest of the book, about another 100 pages, is essentially a large appendix with lists of all NASDAQ and S&P-500 stocks, long excerpts from the TradeCast 3.0 user manual (who needs this section? those who bought this program had presumably gotten the full manual, and those who do not own it do not need these excerpts), and a glossary.

My advice: don't waste your time and money, there is so many better books around than this one.

Well, what can you say when you've read a book that shows little desire to convey any meaningful information in any meaningful way? Howard appears to have done a paste up of old news and well known "insights" into what looks like a book, but doesn't really read like one.

Worst sin? They didn't even take the time to format the "graphs" horizontally on the page, or with text. Every time you look at one of these graphs to try to understand the point Howard is making, you have to page ahead and turn the book 90 degrees and try to remember just what HA was getting at. By the time he mentions the 3rd graph you're already skipping ahead.

This is my first Howard Abell book and I have two pieces of good news: first, since I borrowed the book from the library I'm not out any $$$ (although I still feel cheated by the time I put in) and second, it's the last Howard Abell book I will ever read.

(I have a library of maybe $2,000 worth of investment books, so it's not like I won't buy a book of some value. Stick with Weinstein, Tharp, Morris, Nison, McMillan, Bill Williams.)

I don't know who wrote the other reviews, but i guess they were abell's relatives. This is the worst book ever. Two pages of real information. I learned absolutely nothing from this book. After reading lynch, o'neil , motley fool and many other great books; I am insulted by this book.

Pages 3-50 of this book is dealing with some what useful information, for the novice invester. Pages 51-70 testimonials from professianal Traders is exciting and interesting. I found from pages 80-175 useful and worth my reading, I must mention that half those pages had charts. Pages 177-196 names and stock symbols, again probley for the novice. Pages 197-256 Appendix B Excerpts from the TradeCast 3.0 user manual, why I would want this unless I was going to buy the program and my hope would be that the manual would cover this, and then again maybe this book is the manual for the program and they just forgot to send the program?. Pages 257-267 Glossary, Further Reading, and the Index.

Summary-For $40.00 and 269 pages, I found 90 pages (half of those charts) dealing with the Authors title(Moving from One Winning Position to the Next) or as a very famous advertisment slogan goes..... WHERE'S THE BEEF

If you look at the dates of the reviews you see clearly that they were made with the intention of giving this book the best rating. See for instance the reviews between Feb 07 and Feb 11 of 2004. It's amazing how many reviews appear in sequence - sometimes five a day - giving this book 5 stars. Short sentences that appear were written by the same person. Check yourself...

That's why I always look at the "most helpful reviews", before buying a book. I certainly won't buy this one.

I first saw Steve Wirrick on KWHY Channel 22 stationed in the Los Angeles area, way back in the mid 1990's. It was apparent that he was a step above the other financial commentators, and it was a pleasure to view him. When I found out he was writing a book, I could not wait to read it. I was not dissapointed. Having had some very trying times in my investing career, I found some simple strategies that made a world of difference. During the recent bull market in stocks I have learned foremost to be cautious, that one condition does not necessarily mean it will perpetually continue. The strategies Steve discusses on capital preservation are invaluable. I highly recommend this book to anyone who would like to improve their financial performance, keeping losses small and having an exit strategy applies to all areas of investment and prudent speculation.

Age-old wisdom about the market is put together in a succinct form to guide people in taking money from Wall Street. Learn to mine for gold rather than undermine your own success by reading the "Psychology of Trading" chapter et al. The book is great because you can read at any level (scan the key points to remember in each chapter, peruse the highlighted boxes at the side of the pages, then dig into each idea by reading the book fully) and become a winner. Steve is a great mentor with a down-to-earth style for ease of understanding.

I have bought dozens of books on trading and options this is one of the most watered down, lame books I have read yet. If you want a good book on option strategies this one is the best I have read yet The Bible of Options Strategies: The Definitive Guide for Practical Trading Strategies by Guy Cohen

This book should be re-titled to "Trading's Little Instruction Book". It is giving you some really useful general advice ("bread and butter strategies") to make you feel good and smart, but lacks any details, depth and specifics to make you feel certain or knowledgeable about anything. It takes you on a dizzying ride that gets you feel nauseated like a carousel. From the usual "you are good enough", "money for capital is everywhere" beginning we get to be blinded by the riches of options trading, then we read about the psychology of trading, study the psychology of the market, get a glimpse of technical analysis and market indicators, just to conclude our journey with "25 Ways to Improve Your Trading Now".

It is unfortunate that at the end this book ignores its own warning No. 11 "Do not be Jack of All Trades, the Master of None."
