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 insight on why traders succeed or fail.</p> <p>An important contribution to trading literature, the book will help all traders by:</p> <ul type="disc"> <li>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</li> <li>Outlining the factors that really make the difference between a consistently profitable trader and one who underperforms</li> <li>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</li> </ul> <p>Becoming a better trader takes discipline, skill development, and statistically profitable trading strategies, and this book will show you how to develop all three.</p>
