It's the second best book on trading among all I've ever read (first being 'Reminiscence of a Stock Operator'). These two I recommend as must read before reading any technical or fundamental or whatever to venture into the markets.

I like to understand how things work and this book delivers a clear and precise explanation of the marketplace.

If you enjoy this book, two others to consider are “Capital Markets, Institutions and Instruments” by Frank J Fabozzi & Franco Modigliani, and “After The Trade is Made” by David M. Weiss.

the biggest value of this book lies in the throughout classification of trader types. It goes into detail regarding their motivation, interaction, strategies.

The book also describes technical and regulatory exchange rules and their effect on trading strategies, not only for equity markets.

Researchers may find great value here as well.

Many different topics covered in this book, but it helps to give you a picture of how the market works. If you want to examine all the little pieces of the puzzle and expand your knowledge, this is worth it.

I got this book as a magnaminous gesture from IB...sent to the Great White North for free. True to form I had to pay 20 bucks in tax and duty because of the way they filled out the export forms. Great little anecdotes pepper the content and it is a worth while read that graced the vanity in the washroom for a season. I am hoping that the next time IB gets the Christmas spirit that they will send me a toaster.
