High Probability Trading
by Marcel Link


This is a trading book, not an investing book. It is a nuts and bolts realistic view of trading and the time and effort required to be successful. There are many good reviews on Amazon.com so I will not elaborate too much here.

The author covers some of the typical indicators, but he freshens them up and really gives you a better way to use them in your trading. He also gets into money management (one of the beginners biggest weaknesses), the psychology of trading, and so much more. This book is very, very helpful.

Probably the best book I have ever read on trading, along with “Trading in the Zone” by Mark Douglas (don’t let the clichéd title fool you…it is very good). I liked it better than Market Wizards.

-Market Wizards
Give a brief synopsis of the book
-Stories about dudes who made alot in the market
What was good about the book?
- Taught me that the many people who made money where smarter, better financed, and more disciplined than I would ever be. Lot's of other people in the book just got lucky in my opinion.

What needed improving in the book?
-More details of systems used

What did you take from the book that has improved your trading/investing or life?
-Alot of people try to imitate the guys in the book but can't because they just don't have it. While I will never beat the market greats there are alot of wanna be types I can get to buy and sell from me at advantagous prices.

I also learned that you have a limited amount of time to take advantage of any market conditions.

Very good. The first part of the book gets a little slow, but when he gets into the trading psychology, the 2nd half of the book, it is very powerful.

is there any reason the The Intelligent Investor hasn't been mentioned?

What's good....best value investing book ever. it essentially puts Graham's mind onto paper. Also, in the new edition, the pieces by Buffet are awesome.

Maybe no one said it because its too obvious, I just started reading this forum so I don't know if its just a given. Either way, everyone should read that book if they haven't and reread it if they have.
