books on future trading?

Recommended Posts

There are several good reccomendations in the book review section. But I really enjoyed John Carters Mastering the Trade. John Carters style works very well with my personality, so thats just a heads up. He thinks the same way I do (for the most part) so I'm pretty lucky finding a book like that.

thank you james and Mrpaul, i know very little about future so i can't say what kind, maybe index is what i meant, myself just started reading some trading books, and thinking day trading might be something i want to do, i saw people talking about emini future ..... i guess i should ask this at beginners forum......i saw people talking about emini a lot but just can't find a book titled with "emini", sorry for my ignorance, so i want to take time to get more education.

rating-1:( ok ok, i just shut up and read

 

Jim,

 

Nevermind those ratings, I'll agree and say that Mastering The Trade by John Carter is a great book. Also I would recommend Techniques Of Tape Reading by Vadym Graifer and Mastering Futures Trading by Bo Yoder.

 

:cool:

Wow, I didn't know he had a book on futures markets. I read his book The Visual Investor or something like that, great book for TA. I learned a lot, I'll have to check that one out.

 

 

The problem I find with most books is they aren't advanced enough. Most books I read just skim the surface, it's hard to find a book that really goes into it and teaches me something I haven't yet learned. Has anyone else experienced that?

When I find that book i'll let you know haha! It's usually a case like any other profession of reading many texts, and transforming that knowledge into a framework to begin the real process of learning which is rote experience or "screen time".

There's two ways to look at this 1) the books are somewhat repetitive in content 2) you've read the book but you really haven't reread it to understand the subtleties of what the author really wanted to say that is different from other authors.

 

I'll give you an example, one of my bibles is the Technical Analysis Of Stock Trends . It's a thick book and lots of content but each paragraph has tons of jewels that it takes many rereadings to really get a deeper message to really click in. After finding this out, I went back and reread other books and found the true significance in other great books. It's not about reading as many books as possible, it's about rereading them to get it all together.

I think an author named Chris Roberts wrote that kind of book....oh, nevermind, he didnt.

 

Nah he is the guy who made so much money he went insane and now lives in a cave somewhere in Tibet.

i had too much "screen time" but nothing to do with trading though :D i never thought i would trade, when i bought rrsp the banker asked me

how much risk can i take, i said zero risk, it is not i don't want to take risk, just thats the thing i don't know. so i am now start learning, i will look into more advanced stuff as i get more experience.

When you get scattered ideas from different authors and concepts, this is where the confusion and frustration will begin. Moving from one trading strategy to the next is a common mistake in trading, never finding a holy grail. It's ok to read as many as possible but pick one and stick with it before trying out other methods from others book. I did this is the hard way and finally settled on one that changed my trading.

I personally reckon that before you get started reading about techincal stuff you should sit down and read the basics of growing wealth through investment. Money management etc...

 

Hope you guys don't laugh but I personally think that Robert Kiyosaki's book "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" should be a good starting point to help train you brain to think along the lines of using your buying power to help create more wealth.

not totally about futures trading but I am reading "Trend Following" by Michael Covel. It's not a technical but for folks who already understand the market this is great book to read to get your history lessons to learn what could reside during the long road ahead. Lots about Dunn and Turtle traders.

    • It depends. If you have lots of money that you can buy a house without a loan and if you don't have any parents to sponsor then it is a good idea. Otherwise it might be a bad idea depending where in Canada you are heading to. I earned a good middle income in my home country and I migrated to Vancouver 5 years ago at the age of 35. I had to start right from the bottom, lowest of the low.. Now i am finally earning a middle income in Canada but I still cannot afford to buy a one bedroom apartment. Having left behind friends, family and home, most of the times I think it is not worth it.   In short, do not migrate if you already have a good life in your home country and you are happy. Only migrate to Canada if you really have to leave your home country say there is a war or something really bad. Discrimination still exists here and its really tough for newcomers unless you are super rich. Good luck. David Chong, Quora  
    • This is bigger than the internet. Bigger than mobile. Bigger than social media.   While everyone was distracted by stock market fluctuations and political theater…   Most people have NO IDEA what just happened last week with ChatGPT.   Their new memory feature allows ChatGPT to remember EVERYTHING about you across all your conversations.   Think about that for a minute...   While most tech companies have been collecting mere breadcrumbs about you - your likes, your clicks, your browsing history - OpenAI is now collecting the most valuable dataset in human history: your complete psychological profile.   This is Zuckerberg x 5,000.   The more you use ChatGPT, the more it understands you, becoming a supercharged reflection of yourself that improves at an exponential rate.   Are you a regular ChatGPT user?   Consider whether it’s time to turn off the “you can train on my information” feature. To prevent your data from being used for training while still using the memory feature:   Disable Model Training: Navigate to Settings > Data Controls. Toggle off "Improve the model for everyone". Manage Memory Settings: Go to Settings > Personalization > Memory. Here, you can: Turn off memory entirely. Delete specific memories. Use Temporary Chat for sessions that won't be saved or used for training. Now the investment implications…   Why This is Bigger Than You Think Consider this: the relationship between humans and ChatGPT is evolving beyond a mere tool.   People are now treating these AI assistants as friends, confidants, and even romantic partners.   I'm not making this up - there are already documented cases of people ending real human relationships to pursue “connections” with their AI companions.   A viral Instagram meme shows a person going through life with a glowing, featureless humanoid figure - representing ChatGPT - as their companion.   The post has over 1.1 million likes and comments like "Bro ChatGPT is like my best friend. Ain't even ashamed to say it" with 25,000 likes.   But here's where things get really interesting for investors and entrepreneurs...   Three Things to Watch For starters, hardware is the next big thing for the big players.   The iPhone form factor is dead.   It hasn't meaningfully changed in nearly a decade. The next evolution in hardware will be designed specifically to interface with these AI companions.   OpenAI is already working on hardware with Johnny Ive, the legendary designer behind the iPhone and iPod. But you can’t ignore Elon Musk’s edge here.   So what does all of this mean for you?   The companies that control the personal AI relationships will be worth trillions. OpenAI and Elon Musk will have the coziest moats. We're witnessing the birth of a new internet - one built on agents that can communicate with each other across platforms. Google's new agent-to-agent protocol allows AI agents to work together without sharing internal memories or tools. The hardware companies that create the perfect interface for these AI companions will dominate the next decade of technology. And almost nobody is talking about what this means.   My prediction? Within five years, most people will have a personal AI that knows them better than anyone else. And they will interact with it in ways that seem foreign today.   (And, yes, it will almost certainly have dystopian elements.)   In the meantime, the biggest gains won’t come from household names. And, right now, James is seeing a prime opportunity to invest in the most under-the-radar plays in AI…   For dirt cheap. By Chris C.
