Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder by Nassim Nicholas Taleb

Summary

A disappointment for fans of the other books from Mr. Taleb. I am a fan of Mr. Taleb but this book comes short of the expectation that we would have a theory or construct that it can be applied in our daily struggle with trading (or other line of work).

Quantitative Trading: How to Build Your Own Algorithmic Trading Business by Ernie Chan

Summary

Good introduction to trading mechanically for yourself as a retail trader. Lower your expectations though as there is no top secret trading model disclosured. Matlab understanding useful but not necessary for a small part of the book. I would recommend this book if it is your first one on the subject.
