New Interesting Trading Books?

Recommended Posts

All of you post some interesting trading books, but some of them are not new trading books as mentioned in the title thread, :o, just joking.

 

Another new trading book I'll mention is Bryce Gilmore's Price Action Manual - One Day at a Time 2007, another very practical S&P trading handbook. Bryce even offers his ES Price Action Chronicles Vol 1 for A$1 only.

a very new trading book by suri duddella, "Trade Chart Patterns like the Pros", a very practical trading handbook if you like pattern trading, imho

 

Jesse:

I am already familiar with 95% of the patterns listed in the table of content. Do you think I will still benefit from reading the book ?

 

 

Thanks

The Professional Commodity Trader by Stan Kroll.....

 

nice...I always get books for christmas, have to add this one to the list. I'm a sucker for any old book under 10 bucks.

Tops for my list are Steenbarger's last book, The Nature of Risk by Justin Mamis and Markets in Profile.

Barnes and Noble has the Way of the Turtle in the stores, if anyone is thinking of getting that I would read it there first. Really seemed pretty useless.

I have communicated with suri duddella personally from time to time over the years, he is a knowledgeable trader and programmer. He self-published the book and is not strictly an "author" as many are on the subject. It's amazing how many authors/promoters in this business do not even trade anymore. Maybe its not so amazing. There are even more traders who drop big $ on this stuff.

Consider that cheap. $250.00 is the electronic version, the hardcopy preceding this one by the same author used to sell for $850.00:o

I see most folks here are into technical manual type books, but for a new stock trader "Reminiscences of a stock operator" and Cramers first book "Confessions of a street addict" are more fun than educational but worth the time.

I would recommend the books by Thomas Bulkowski, he includes a lot of statistcial analysis as to what works and what doesn't, % successes etc. He also has a web site http://thepatternsite.com/

 

One caveat - he and others have suggested recently that classic patterns are failing more often than in the past, probably due to the numbers of people trying to trade them.

 

It also seems to be the cases that rather than totally failing many patterns are apparently failing but can be jumped into a little later (eg the apparent break up, which then breaks down, goes sideways and then suddenly resumes the direction originally expected.

Forgive my cynicism, but most everything that is written and is for sale is being sold because it is yesterdays news. Nothing that truly would make you profitable is for sale. Could you imagine someone selling what really works.

As crazy as it may seem you'd have a much better chance of success by sticking to this site than by reading trading books. At least then you might run into some generous and sympathetic traders who want to pass on their knowledge / help.

I guess the thing to do then is to read books that deal with 'principles' or 'fundamental truths' about markets. There are some books that do contain a bit of 'wisdom' too.

That's a good way to put it BlowFish. What are your top 3 or 4 books that have taught you those market principles? Thanks in advance.

All time favourite is Reminiscences (of a stock operator). After that it get's a bit more tricky. I started re-reading Market Wizard over Xmas, and am enjoying that for odd bit's of 'wisdom'. I always like stuff on price action Dunnigan is a favourite though Gann wrote good stuff on PA too. Studies in Tape reading ....I could start going on and on here so should stop. Looking at the title of the thread I see it is 'interesting' rather than 'useful' I go through phases of reading quite a lot that is 'interesting' but perhaps of limited (if any) use :D

 

I am inclined to agree with you, there is much that is good here on TL. Thales Real time thread, DBPhoenix's burrow spring to mind. Jperls market stats threads which opened my eyes to a whole other set of statistical principles.

I too have read Schwager's books on fundamental and technical analysis, he is thorough. In fact his work introduced me to Thomas Demarks books and together with Jason Perls book on Demark Indicators I bought all 4, some really good stuff.

Have read Dunnigans "New Blueprints for Gains in Stocks and Grains & One Way Formula for Trading in Stocks & Commodities" it just didn't sink in with me, but maybe it's just me. Once I learned to look at the market in new ways some of those older books don't seem to strike a chord anymore, but who knows, down the road it may hit the spot.

    • The big breakthrough with AI right now is “natural language computing.”   Meaning, you can speak in natural language to a computer and it can go through huge data sets, make sense out of them, and speak back to you in natural language.   That alone is a huge breakthrough.   The next leg? AI agents. Where they don’t just speak back to you.   They take action. Here’s the definition I like best: an AI agent is an autonomous system that uses tools, memory, and context to accomplish goals that require multiple steps.   Everything from simple tasks (analyzing web traffic) to more complex goals (building executive briefings or optimizing websites).   They can:   > Reason across multiple steps.   >Use tools like a real assistant (Excel spreadsheets, budgeting apps, search engines, etc.)   > Remember things.   And AI agents are not islands. They talk to other agents.   They can collaborate. Specialized agents that excel at narrow tasks can communicate and amplify one another’s strengths—whether it’s reasoning, data processing, or real-time monitoring.   What it Looks Like You wake up one morning, drink your coffee, and tell your AI agent, “I need to save $500 a month.”   It gets to work.   First, it finds all your recurring subscriptions. Turns out you’re paying $8.99 for a streaming service you forgot you had.   It cancels it. Then it calls your internet provider, negotiates a lower bill, and saves you another $40. Finally, it finds you car insurance that’s $200 cheaper per year.   What used to take you hours—digging through statements, talking to customer service reps on hold for an hour, comparing plans—is done while you’re scrolling Twitter.   Another example: one agent tracks your home maintenance needs and gets information from a local weather-monitoring agent. Result: "Rain forecast next week - should we schedule gutter cleaning now?"   Another: an AI agent will plan your vacations (“Book me a week in Italy for under $2,000”), find the cheapest flights, and sort out hotels with a view.   It’ll remind you to pay bills, schedule doctor’s appointments, and track expenses so you’re not wondering where your paycheck went every month.   The old world gave you tools—Excel spreadsheets, search engines, budgeting apps. The new world gives you agents who do the work for you.   Don’t Get Too Scared (or Excited) Yet William Gibson famously said: "The future is already here – it's just not evenly distributed."   AI agents will distribute it. For decades, the tools that billionaires and corporations used to get ahead—personal assistants, financial advisors, lawyers—were out of reach for regular people.   AI agents could change that.   BUT, remember…   We’re in inning one.   AI agents have a ways to go.   They’re imperfect. They mess up. They need more defenses to get ready for prime time.   To be sure, AI is powerful, but it’s not a miracle worker. It’s great at helping humans solve problems, but it’s not going to replace all jobs overnight.   Instead of fearing AI, think of it as a tool to A.] save you time on boring stuff and B.] amplify what you’re already good at. Right now is the BEST time to start experimenting. It’s also the best time to find investments that will “make AI work for you”.
