Best Trading Book Ever?

The last edition I can find is from 2012 and I couldn't even know if that 2012 edition is a revised one from the previous, dated of 2002, or just a republishing without revision.

Assuming is a revides one, is this still reasonably updated after 6 years ?

I do not know. My edition is from 2003 and I regard it similar to a factory technical service repair manual of a high performance automobile. It breaks down and breaks out market microstructure that is certain to generate insight.

The taxonomy of trader types puts a spotlight on the playing field so that one isn’t running around in the dark anymore -clueless. It’s essential foundational material without fluff.

I haven’t gotten into the other authors yet, and Perry Kaufman’s work is substantive. I picked it up after you had mentioned it many moons ago. Lot’s of math and get’s into a variety of trading methods with detail. Looking forward to getting it into my active reading queue.

My current focus is on Jack Hershey’s method which is by far the hardest nut I’ve had to crack. It has a perspective, depth and nuance that is unparalleled and delivers results that I have yet to see anything come close to producing. It’s not for everybody and it’s mindblowningly free deep in the archives.

The cost is diligently thinking through unique concepts which seems like a cost too high to bear for many a wannabe, those with fossilized minds and other with a ‘crabs in a bucket’ mentality. I’ve experienced an acceleration of personal and progressional growth through applying the material.

Oh well,... we all sleep in the bed of our own making.

Back to Kaufman,
Thank you for the quality recommendation.
