Everybody knows Reminicences of Stock Operator or Market Wizards. But I recently came across and read a book called Zurich Axioms by Max Gunther. It is a must read for anybody who decides to embark in the world of speculation. redduke
Wow I am again impressed but not surprised by the depth of our members. Noting this is in the Psy section/Trading for a living: Definitely Rem. of a Stock Operator Definitely the Market Wizards series, major psych value here. Elder has some very good sections for the newb (although I highly disagree with his simple 2% loss rule for experienced traders -agree for newbs - but I believe far more mathematical sophistication is required in this biz). Definitely agree in pursuing some kind of spiritual (not nec religious) path, martial arts centered on chi, meditation, etc. Trading has a way of reinforcing the vicious, fearful, and vengeful side; some powerful antidote is required.
