Some books I am considering.

Quote from Threei:

Yeah, this is possibility. Well, then I will suggest them to phone my broker. And if they assume we are conspiring together, I'll suggest them to look up "paranoia".

Obviously you can't prove anything to those who have made up their mind in advance... but fortunately, it's not my major priority, either :) Still, I promised to post it short while ago, and I will post it.

Actually, you provide a good example of one of the points I've been trying to make. I don't use most of your setups for a variety of reasons, but your book is one of the best and most useful I've read.
 
Thank you.

If correct trading philosophy (general apporach to the market and trading) is in place, and mental issues are resolved, trading system doesn't really matter... take any of existing or design your own, it will work for you as long as it is your edge. What I was aiming in the book was to show how one comes to this philosophy, how mental issues are resolved, what practical steps one is to take to find your edge and to come to calm and consistent profitability. And I still believe that this part is major value of the book... originally that was all I was going to write about. Then it became obvious that without demonstration of trading method itself book would feel incomplete, so second part appeared... and then a need in practical illustration surfaced... so it wound up triple of what was intended... :)

PS... and I am still fuming over the title... I am so convinced my original one was much better and reflected the book content precisely...hate current one passionately

well! what is the title you have in mind. :D
 
Your decision is debatable, but probably the correct one. I read the reviews of many market and trading books, and there are a depressing number of bad reviews for essential books because the reviewer couldn't find any "systems". Or they'll dismiss Magee or Mamis because of a complete disinterest in what the reviewers call "philosophy".

So many writers take your path and provide a buffet of patterns and systems and tactics and setups and so forth, then get disemboweled because whozit tried them and they didn't "work", which means that the author is an idiot and his book is worthless and so on.

Some people want to learn. Others only want to be told that they're doing everything right and that if they're losing money it's not their fault it's just the mean ol' market. Fortunately, that will never change (otherwise, trading would be too difficult).

My title was A Trader's Jorney into Reality:
Revitalization of a Lost Art of Tape Reading (part after the colon as a subtitle).

I believe that was exact reflection of book content, and it wouldn't make targeted audience that narrow as title mentioning only specific way of reading the market did. But publisher decided otherwise.

cool, I know why publisher rejected the title but it is ok to me. :cool:
 
hehe... then you know more than I do... I was simply told that their marketing department considers that one to be better, and they want to keep emphasis on tape reading as a method largely and undeservingly forgotten since 1930s...

With the exception of Neil, I'd say forgotten entirely.

I'm assuming you've read Dunnigan. If not, you would enjoy his One-Way Formula book (now re-issued in a very nice presentation). It's more about a journey than a destination. In fact, the book isn't "finished".
 
Quote from V-Viper:

Well I am pretty new to trading and I have been looking into some books to get myself illiterate on the subject.

Any suggesting or recommendations would be great, as well as anyones you feel I should not get because another one of the books on the list would cover it just as well, or suggest a better one. Thanks alot.
