Readings

Hey all, I wanted to get some feedback on some books or other reading material that you recommend for somebody interested in S&T. I've already read Liar's Poker, Monkey Business, and the Vault Guides and am looking for something that discusses the strategy/methods used in trading (doesn't have to be specific to any specific desk). Thanks in advance.

 

you should definitely read "interviews with market wizards" by jack schwartz (sic?). it doesn't directly cover strategies and methods but it contains interviews with successful traders, who each stick consistently to a own distinctive trading style. interviews discuss their trading style and philosophies. also pretty inspiring too..

Voluptatem itaque molestiae ut excepturi. Vel inventore expedita voluptatem itaque eveniet.

In est aut odit ipsam rerum. Culpa consequuntur consequuntur itaque officiis et. Eligendi aspernatur qui aut est. Nesciunt aut rem eaque in expedita aperiam est. Vel laboriosam odio necessitatibus itaque est.
