Curtis Faith's new book

I just got a notice on Amazon that Curtis Faith has a new turtle book out. Looked pretty interesting-- I enjoyed his first. Actually all the turtle books have been good reads. Anyone know anything about the new one?
 
Yeah, I like Curtis but I am wondering what else could be new about the Turtles that is worth an additional book also. I think the horse is dead by now.

Just to be fair to you I went to Amazon and glanced at the book. Seems the focus is more on the psychological aspects of trading and managing your mental states while trading (dealing with drawdown, keeping your mental focus, staying within the parameters of your system, etc.).

All-in-all, really good advice.

But remember, he has choosen to write books and develop software about trading. So my question to you is "what happened to his actually doing the trading himself"? :confused:

See past association with Galt Capital and Acceleration Capital. Their performance numbers were pretty bad if I remember correctly. There was also a lawsuit with Ed Sekoyta so many court docs are floating around as well as an action by CFTC (don't remember details though). As to why he writes books, well it is easier than making a living being a trader.

They say about 5% of traders make it successfully. You would have to include Seykota and Faith in that top 5%.
Which begs the question: what percentage of the "5%" continue to be successful?
 
Bestselling author and financial expert Curtis Faith gathers his fellow Turtles and investment leaders to discuss strategies for seeking out, investigating, and managing risk. Through the wisdom of these masters, serious traders and investors can cure themselves of the four biggest cognitive biases and overcome fear, calculate risks, learn from their mistakes, and focus on decisions, not outcomes.

Take control of risk . . . before it takes control of you.

Don't like uncertainty? Doubt makes you nervous? Most people are averse to it, but risk is unavoidable to the serious investor. In this groundbreaking book, Curtis Faith helps you not only form a truce with risk, but actually make it your ally.

One of Chicago's famed Turtle traders, Faith credits his group's unprecedented trading success with its mastery over the psychology of risk. In Inside the Mind of the Turtles, he explains how to view risk as an asset-and invest accordingly. Covering his own techniques, plus those of other traders, speculators, hedge-fund billionaires, and venture capitalists, Faith teaches you the seven rules for mastering risk:

Reminds me of Alpesh Patels book 'Mind of a Trader', seems like Faith will be talking to some of the Turtles instead..
 
An Amazon review states that on a youtube video, Faith concedes losing everything. I have not confirmed it personally
 
"They say about 5% of traders make it successfully. You would have to include Seykota and Faith in that top 5%.

If the top 5% cant maintain profitability, what changes? How can you make millions and end up not being profitable? Not much writen about that or I have not noticed. Anyway I would like to read Curtis's new book.
