The Ingredients Necessary for Trading Success
Gary Smith’s How I Trade for a Living is one of the best in Wiley’s “Online Trading for a Living” series. Although some of the material is dated, his autobiography is inspiring, and his approaches to trading uniquely individualistic. Those who enjoy reading about maverick traders and how they make their money trading should enjoy this book.

This seems to be a good mechanical system for trading stocks. Even though it was written in an entirely different market environment, Cooper’s pamphlet contains ideas that still probably work today, if used selectively. His system can now easily be backtested, and I wouldn’t be surprised if such a test would demonstrate that this is still over the long term a winning system.

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.
