Book Recommendations

[Anonymous]

Hey everyone, I’m off for a hop across the pond to do holiday in France, and I’m looking for some additions to my backlog.

I am currently reading TraderMind by Steve Ward. It is more of a psychology book, which is what drew me towards it as I figured it would pair that with the mentorship course quite well. I must say, having previously not understood meditation and having a busy mind even when trying to relax, some simple mindfullness practices have given me immediate results in my day to day life; and these do not have to do at all with trading. Highly recommend.
If you are interested, check out the BST podcast episode about “Performance Accelerators”. where I first heard an interview of Ward.

I’ve got Howard Bandy’s Mean Reversion book on my short list.

If you have something to recommend, I’m all ears.

Thanks!

If you’re interested in momentum style strategies, then Andreas Clenow, “Stocks On The MOve” is solid foundation for that style.

Thanks Nick, looks like he has an interview on BST as well, I’ll check it out.

‘Complete turtle trader” is a good one, covers the story of the turtles and some discussion on their system

Heard, appreciate it Trent. I’ll add it to my library.

“Trading in the zone’ by Mark douglas, haven’t read it myself but it’s on my list

Better System Trader is a good resource, especially some of the more experienced guys like Jerry Parker. Listen between the lines to get some wisdom. I like listening to podcasts on the plane.

Re Trent:

I have partially read both ‘Trading In The Zone’ and ‘The Disciplined Trader’ by Douglas – they didn’t resonate with me too much because I am not at all interested in trading by hand via charts and the like. They probably are good, but they didn’t keep my interest. Now that I mention it, neither did Market Wizards by Schwager. His technical book, however, ‘The Complete Guide To The Futures Markets’, now that was decent! I did some pick and choose for chapters and read what I felt was relevant for me.

‘Reminiscences of a Stock Operator ‘ is great and since it is over 100 years old you can listen free on YouTube because the copyright is expired; or at least I think that’s why.

Think like the great investors by Colin Nicholson is about cognitive biases.

Wall Street the other Las Vegas by Nicolas Darvas is just a fun read, it’s one of my go to chill out books.

Unholy Grails by Nick is great, it has systems but also interviews with some very experienced traders.

This was a great read – I did enjoy what he had to say about system theory, and he also had worthwhile commentary about markets and trading as a whole.

Would recommend.
