Jesse Livermore - Market Key

  1. total classic.


    Also, it's absurb to try to systematize a livermore method. The whole point of what he has to offer from a learning standpoint is the subtle intuitive kind of observations. He may have postured himself as having a system of sorts. But anyone who's read, and re-read (and re-re-read) Reminiscences, should have a firm sense that his successes were a result of adjustments on the fly and a killer instinct when he reached a key threshold of intuitive conviction.

    Just appreciate the little insights and the subtleties.


    (also, he committed suicide as a matter of historical record. But his wife at the time was married 5 previous times. As I understand it, in every case, the marriage ended b/c her husband committed suicide...draw your own conclusions).

    We live in a different world, but if it were 1925 Jesse Livermore would be long this market big time with FedEx doubling their earnings projections the other day. He loved to follow rails, transports and shipping for 'tips'. Would have worked well so far since they updated forecast.

  3. Highs & Lows are all that really matter in the end.

    Hello,

    I tried to understand the Market Key; it seems that some references to the rules are wrong, or am I missing something?
    Chart one : "On April 2nd prices began to be recorded in Natural Rally column. Refer to Explanatory Rule 6-B." Is it not rule 6-C?
    Chart Two : "On May 27th... Rule 6-C." Is it not rule 6-E?
    "On June 10th... Rule 6-E."; is it not rule 6-G?
    ... and so on...

    If somebody can check it or explain, thank you.

  5. it sure is if you have a quick exit plan when the trade doesn't go your way and take a little more on your winners. A big part of trading in my opinion is not just spotting good trades but handling the trades and handling money.

  10. Yeah I can relate to that problem, I think he did that intentionally. It's like a DaVinci code or some sort. We have to break it.
