Trading book review by Janene Murdoch from the Educator Investor Bookshop

An honest depiction of the challenges of trading and a clear explanation of what it takes to succeed.

Successful trading, according to respected psychiatrist and trading coach Kiev, requires an unusual and sometimes contradictory blend of intellectual and psychological abilities, including the willingness to take risks, but in a very controlled manner; the discipline to develop high-conviction trading ideas in the face of unpredictable markets and incomplete information; as well as a strong drive to win, but also accept failure. Here, you’ll discover how to achieve all this, and much more. This book:

*provides advice and solutions for traders struggling with today’s volatile and stressful markets;

*authoritatively identifies key mental strategies of top traders;

*is written by Ari Kiev, a highly respected figure in the professional trading community;

Trading Book Review: One Good Trade

One Good Trade

Mike Bellafiore
RRP $77.95

Trader Dealer Price $68.00

Trading book review by Janene Murdoch from the Educator Investor Bookshop

One Good Trade

The proprietary trading firm consists of a group of professionals who trade the capital of the firm. Their income and livelihood is generated solely from their ability to take profits consistently out of the markets. The world of prop trading is mentally and emotionally challenging, but at the same time it offers substantial rewards to the select few who can master this craft called trading.

In One Good Trade: Inside the Highly Competitive World of Proprietary Trading, author Mike Bellafiore shares the principles and techniques that have enabled him to navigate the most challenging of markets over the past twelve years. He explains how he has imparted those techniques to an elite desk of traders at the proprietary trading firm he co-founded. In doing so, he lifts the veil on the inner workings of his firm, shedding light on the challenges of prop trading and gives an insight on why traders succeed or fail.

An important contribution to trading literature, the book will help all traders by:

*Emphasizing the development of skills that are critical to success, such as the fundamentals of One Good Trade, Reading the Tape, and finding Stocks In Play

*Outlining the factors that really make the difference between a consistently profitable trader and one who underperforms.

*Sharing entertaining, hysterical and page turning stories of traders who have excelled or failed and why many, trained by the author, with an essential trading principle wrapped inside.

*Becoming a better trader takes discipline, skill development, and statistically profitable trading strategies, and this book will show you how to develop all three.

Trading Book Review: The New Commodity Trading Guide

The New Commodity Trading Guide

George Kleinman
RRP $44.95

Trading book review by Janene Murdoch from the Educated Investor Bookshop

Over the long term, commodities prices are expected to rise based on massive increases in global demand. But, as many investors have discovered the hard way, merely knowing this is not enough to make consistent profits.

Fundamental changes in the commodities markets have occurred that have implications most investors do not understand. For instance, century-old “open outcry” trading floors have now been replaced with computerised trading. In The New Commodity Trading Guide, commodities expert George Kleinman reveals the new practical realities of worldwide electronic commodities trading and specific strategies for capitalising on today’s radically different markets.

Kleinman shows how to leverage the one indicator that consistently drives commodity prices today, introduces the right ways to trade on news and profit from trends, reveals consistent seasonal price shifts that mean huge profits, shows which conventional strategies still work (and which don’t!). Finally, he introduces the Natural Number Method, a breakthrough approach that any commodities trader can use to supercharge performance!

*Capturing the 5000% return – what you can learn from one of history’s fastest price moves.

*“Breaking par”: how you can profit from market psychology and how to make profitable trades right after market barriers are shattered.

*The trend’s your friend – if you know how to use it!

*Discover the best times to go with the flow.

*Why markets behave differently at significant break points and how to use that knowledge to make big profits.

*What hasn’t changed and how you can profit from it.

*Two classic chart patterns that continue to work!

Gartley Trading Method

Ross Beck
RRP $82.95

Trader Dealer Price $70.00

Trading book review by Janene Murdoch from the Educator Investor Bookshop

Gartley Trading Method

A detailed look at the technical pattern simply referred to today as the Gartley Pattern.

Gartley patterns are based on the work of H.M. Gartley, a prominent technical analyst best known for a particular retracement pattern that bears his name. In recent years, Gartley patterns, which reflect the underlying psychology of fear and greed in the markets, have received renewed interest. This definitive guide skillfully explains how to utilize the proven methods of H.M. Gartley to capture consistent profits in the financial markets. Page by page, you’ll become familiar with Gartley’s original work, how his patterns can be adapted to today’s fast moving markets and what it takes to make them work for you.

This book examines how to identify and profit from the most powerful formation in the financial markets and discusses the similarities, differences and the superiority of the Gartley Pattern compared to classical chart patterns including the Elliott Wave. It shows how to apply filters to Gartley patterns to improve the probability of your trading opportunities, as well as specific rules such as where to enter and exit positions.

Gartley’s pattern is based on a unique market position where most traders refuse to participate due to fear. This book reveals how you can overcome this fear, and how to profit from the most consistent and reliable pattern in the financial markets.
