Tobias Preis: Bubble Trouble

A completely overlooked TedTalk by the financial world. From my understanding, what Mr. Preis discovered in the data proves the soundness of short term market predictability using only transaction data. This talk he gave was back in year 2011, before the 2nd talk he made in year 2013.

Notice Mr. Preis’ use of volume to identify strength in trend is consistent with modern techniques on trend identification. He also found that such behaviour in trend persists from millisecond timeframe all the way up in the higher timeframes.

Connors on Advanced Trading Strategies by Laurence A. Connors

Summary:

A decent collection of trading strategies that comes, at least in terms of trading books, at a fairly higher sticker price (close to $200 new). That does not mean that the book is necessarily overpriced. At a cost that runs less than 4 ES points, one could well use some—but not all—of the strategies here to extract far more than that from the markets. I recommend that active traders read it.

Paddy Hirsch: Man vs. Markets: Economics Explained (Plain and Simple)

Paddy Hirsch has done many interesting short video clips explaining financial terms and concepts to normal people. His work gathers so much interest that some of that is summarized into the book Man vs. Markets: Economics Explained (Plain and Simple).

Although I do not agree fully with some of the views of Mr. Hirsch, his work making more people think and aware of the impact of the economic system on everyday lives is very respectable.

In case you do not want to watch the full video:

  • The video really starts at around 9 minutes mark
  • More interesting discussions can be found at the last 15 minutes of the talk
