Customer Reviews

systems and methods

Composite of ideas, systems and methods used by floor traders trading spreads. Primarily short term but includes longer-term seasonal trades. Like book "How young millionaires trade commodities."

Surprise!

I remembered reading a recent review of the author's work that was less than flattering, and for some reason decided to give this title a chance. I was pleasantly surprised. The style is unusual, somewhat "stream of conciousness", and in the end each paragraph gives the reader something to think about. I learned from this book and found much to consider. I think it would be especially valuable to the commodities trader who has some experience under his or her belt. Definitely a worthwhile read.

Unique

It is not often you get an insight into what floor traders actually do on the floor and how price movements reflect that. If you have ever wondered why a price is at the level it is or "there must be more going on than meets the eye" then read this book - I have not seen another like it - and I have read a lot of trading books.
