Ionica Smeets: The Danger of Mixing Up Causality and Correlation
Ms. Smeets’ great presentation of scientists and media mistakes of mixing up correlation with causality. It is what I warned traders and quants to-be all the time – if you do not know what causes the correlations, expect the statistical biases may disappear fasting than you think.
Understanding Price Action: Practical Analysis of the 5-Minute Time Frame by Bob Volman
Summary
The book addresses Forex exclusively. While he claims that the methods “are applicable to all markets,” I disagree. Markets have some general similarities, but they also have prominent differences. I think his methods would work on the S&P, but they almost certainly work better on Forex which I don’t trade. I nevertheless recommend this book for a serious trader’s library, although not as heartily as I had originally thought.
