Product Description
The Success Secrets of a Stock Market Legend
Jesse Livermore was a loner, an individualist-and the most successful stock trader who ever lived. Written shortly before his death in 1940, How to Trade Stocks offered traders their first account of that famously tight-lipped operator's trading system. Written in Livermore's inimitable, no-nonsense style, it interweaves fascinating autobiographical and historical details with step-by-step guidance on:
- Reading market and stock behaviors
- Analyzing leading sectors
- Market timing
- Money management
- Emotional control
In this new edition of that classic, trader and top Livermore expert Richard Smitten sheds new light on Jesse Livermore's philosophy and methods. Drawing on Livermore's private papers and interviews with his family, Smitten provides priceless insights into the Livermore trading formula, along with tips on how to combine it with contemporary charting techniques. Also included is the Livermore Market Key, the first and still one of the most accurate methods of tracking and recording market patterns

Format:Paperback
You need to read this book a couple of times to really understand its message. Its concepts are simple, application is hard. Stop looking for the magic key to investing which will do all the hard work for you. Too many investors are looking to find the perfect trading system so they can become rich over night. You have to spend years watching the stock market and not a few days to begin to gain any usefull knowledge. If I could pass on any advice to new investors, it would be to read this book and William J Oniels How to make money in stocks, and then get ready for a few years of hard graft before you start to see consistant results. Just don't give up, you will get there, I did!

1) Add to your winning positions!
2) Look for stocks making new highs.
3) If a stock is to go from 10p to 100p it will make record highs.
4) Only risk 5% of your capital per trading idea - but add to winning positions.
5) Trail your stop-loss under the dips.
6) Technical analysis works because it is measures volatility.
7) A break out to a record high is more significant than a breakout to a 20 day high.
8) When adding to winning positions buy less than your previous amount like a pyramid.
Amazing book - Livermore has helped me pay my university fees.

Defintely agree with D L Anderton. This book should be read and read again.
Another review commented that Livermore's strategy is nothing more than momentum trading. To an extent it is but I beleive there are other key nuggets of information in this book that will help you refine your investment strategy, particularly around Pivotal Points.
Well worth buying this book, plenty of practical advice.
