❣️Market Wizards by Jack D. Schwager

It is a collection of interviews with traders who have turned measly sums into great fortunes. From those interviews, one can extract a lot of insights.
❣️How I made $2m in Stock Market by Nicholas Darvas

Darvas’s book is a fascinating read. He explains in readable terms how he made a small fortune in a short period. He explains a simple approach, now known as the Darvas Box for entering and exiting the market.
❣️Think & Trade Like a Champion by @markminervini

The book comes closest to having a real mentor, giving you practical advice. I like how the book is focused on the Mindset, Routine, Habits, and Pitfalls of traders instead of just strategies.
❣️The Wyckoff method of Trading and investing in stocks by Richard D Wyckoff -

Wyckoff was an extremely successful stock market trader. His technical trading strategies and techniques have withstood the tests of over 75 years of changing markets.
❣️Trading in the Zone by Mark Douglas

The main lesson I learned from this book is “consistency”. You must choose consistency over every other reason or justification you have for trading.
❣️Reminiscences of a Stock Operator by Edwin Lefevre -

It is the autobiography of "Jesse Livermore", A famous Wall Street speculator from 100 years ago. This book is a timeless masterpiece with insightful anecdotes on human greed and fear that remains relevant to this day.
❣️Mind over markets by James F Dalton -

“The” book for Market Profile Method. Mind Over Markets is well worth the read for anyone trading the markets and looking to expand their trading expertise beyond candlesticks and price action.
❣️Secrets of a Pivot Boss by Frank O. Ochoa -

A game-changer. The book introduces Money Zone, Floor Pivots, and Camarilla Equations. This price-based indicator and its combinations can be used to infer about the current market and forecast ahead.
❣️Trading for a Living by Alexander Elder -

It's a great book. It exposes a lot of brutal truths about the trading industry while explaining how the social psychology of the masses manifests itself into the charts patterns that people bank on to make money.
❣️The Bible of Option Strategies by Guy Cohen -

The author has very thoughtfully crafted all option strategies, along with the rationale, impact, entry/exit, charts, greeks curves, etc. A most comprehensive reference for option strategies.
❣️Van Tharp's Definitive Guide To Position Sizing by Van K Tharp @VanTharpInst

If you are a trader looking to expand your skills in the area of position sizing I recommend this book. Position sizing is the most difficult and most important part of trading to understand and use.
❣️Mental strategies of Top Traders by Ari Kiev -

You will thoroughly enjoy reading this book. Various checklists and self-assessment tools Mr. Kiev proposes were worth consideration and have added up to my research processes.

I like this heuristic, and have a few which are similar in intent to it:


Hiring efficiency:

How long does it take, measured from initial expression of interest through offer of employment signed, for a typical candidate cold inbounding to the company?

What is the *theoretical minimum* for *any* candidate?

How long does it take, as a developer newly hired at the company:

* To get a fully credentialed machine issued to you
* To get a fully functional development environment on that machine which could push code to production immediately
* To solo ship one material quanta of work

How long does it take, from first idea floated to "It's on the Internet", to create a piece of marketing collateral.

(For bonus points: break down by ambitiousness / form factor.)

How many people have to say yes to do something which is clearly worth doing which costs $5,000 / $15,000 / $250,000 and has never been done before.

• It says, "She has five faces which shine with the colours of a Pearl 'मुक्ता', Coral 'विद्रुम', Gold 'हेम्', Sapphire 'नील्', & a Diamond 'धवलम्'.

• These five faces are symbolic of the five primordial elements called पञ्चमहाभूत:' which makes up the entire existence.

• These are the elements of SPACE, FIRE, WIND, EARTH & WATER.

• All these five faces shine with three eyes 'त्रिक्षणै:'.
