Has anyone read Mike Bellafiore's new book: The Playbook
I have a lot of respect for SMB Capital and am an avid consumer of anything they produce whether it be blog posts, webinars, books etc. Mike's prior book 'One Good Trade' was excellent.
Im trying to decide whether to get his latest book on Kindle or hard cover. I would prefer to get it on kindle but am worried that if it has a lot of charts and diagrams in it, it would be better getting the hard cover. I try to avoid kindle books if I know they're going to have charts in them.
If it's anything like his prior book, I would expect it to be predominantly text.
I bought the hardback version as a sample I read had charts. Would not recommend Kindle for this one, as plenty of graphics.
Still working through book but can certainly recommend it. Lots of relevant material for trading and invaluable experience sharing on Bella's part.
I stopped reading book for now only because I had to read a library book before return. This book, also by an ex SMB guy is actually also extremely valuable - maybe the most valuable trading book I have ever read!! NO exaggeration.
The Art and Science of Technical Analysis by Adam Grimes. A very thick book that needs detailed study, but very well written indeed. Did I say it was recommended? Some may baulk at cost but just a few ticks on the ES. I have my own copy on order.
The futures.io (formerly BMT) team is planning on hosting regularly recurring Webinars for Elite members of futures.io (formerly BMT). It will be full audio and video feed (chart+presentation sharing), plus recorded in high quality format …
Specifically any help you can offer in that thread with the author's contact info (sometimes I can get it from publisher, sometimes not). I try to invite them on for webinars.
I want to thank you all for your great book recommendations and of course @Big Mike for making all this happen.
I don't have a new book to add so I'll just say that the books with the greatest impact on my thinking and trading were those of Al Brooks. I have read the classical books of technical analysis (Edwards/Magee, Pring, Murphy) so I had some basic knowledge but Al Brooks really changed the way I approach markets.
After that, it all comes down to psychology. This thread has provided me with a list of excelllent books on psychology and I would recommend "trading in the zone" (douglas) and "psychology of trading","Enhancing trader performance" from Steenbarger. Next in my reading list is "daily trading coach" and a dozen other books about psychology that I found here.
So, my contribution is a list with all the books that have been suggested in this thread and it can be found here:
I have read a couple of the books on the list (High Probability Trading Strategies by Robert Miner). I have Trading in the Zone and The Disciplined Trader (Douglas), and Fibonacci Trading (Boroden) to read. Does anyone have any good suggestions for candlestick trading?
