Dan Ariely: What makes us feel good about our work?

A nice Ted Talk on what drives us to work.

 

This video has interesting information about the relationship among motivation, quality of our work and the direct reward factor. The talk focuses on people working in teams and companies in the beginning. Then it moves onto more personal level experience. It shows us important considerations on the type of work we do and how it is structured can lead to better productivity and happier workers.

As a trader, we are our own boss. That means if we do not structure our trading business properly, it will suffer and directly affect our bottom line. This talk makes me think and I plan to modify my daily routine to see if it helps me getting better results.

Beyond Technical Analysis: How to Develop and Implement a Winning Trading System, 2nd Edition by Tushar S. Chande

Summary

Great introduction to trading system design. Not too complex, not too dry. Detail enough to be the text book on trading system design if it were used in a college degree course. The examples in the book are easy to understand even if you are not using TradeStation. Some statistics background necessary. Highly recommended as the introductory text for anyone interested in developing mechanical trading models.

I Have a Strategy (No You Don’t): The Illustrated Guide to Strategy by Howell J Malham Jr

Summary

This is a short book taking on the word strategy with humour. I have seen so many books written on the topic of trading strategies with huge diversity in their content that I cannot help but wonder what the word strategy really means. It is a fun read for those who question the very concept of stragegy. Thus this book is going to disappoint those who look for table pounding, out of breath shouting materials on what strategy should be.
