Anatomy of $SPY on First Trading Day of the Month by Kora Reddy

Summary

Empirical traders who like Lawrence Chan’s quantitative analysis of trading systems at his daytradingbias.com will like this book enough to keep it handy. Kora Reddy has done us daytraders a great service by showing what makes trading systems tick. Success comes not in blindly following systems but in understanding how and why those systems work. Such knowledge comes through hard work. All in all, this is one of the best trading books of the last decade and, despite its peccadilloes, one of the best all-time daytrading books period. Active SPY traders who buy it and then let it collect dust will be doing so at their own risk!
