As an experienced market technician and author of the book “Technical Analysis Simplified,” I can state with some authority that Ted Warren’s method of technical analysis is “head and shoulders” (no pun intended) above 98% of the other books out there that attempt to teach this subject. I have read nearly every book imaginable on market analysis, and this book displays a profound understanding of market machinations I have only found in one or two other titles. One of the things that struck me in reading Warren’s book is that someone who cut his teeth on Edwards & Magee (the “bible” of technical analysis) would find himself having to unlearn much of what he was taught. Based on my experience, Ted’s understanding of the markets was far superior to that of the anodyne Edwards & Magee, and his technique is more accurate. While Ted’s method isn’t the most advanced or the most comprehensive of technical methods, it certainly is one of the most practical and proven ways of profiting in the markets that I have come across over the years. This book comes with my highest commendations. P.S. If you haven’t learned to view the market–as Warren advocates–as a battle of “manipulators” vs. the uninformed investing public, you probably aren’t cut out for trading in the markets, anyway, and should avoid them altogether.

First published in 1923, Reminiscences of a Stock Operator is the fictionalized biography of Jesse Livermore, one of the greatest speculators who ever lived. Now, almost 90 years later, it remains the most widely read, highly recommended investment book ever written. Generations of investors have found that it has more to teach them about themselves and other investors than years of experience in the market. They have also discovered that its trading advice and keen analyses of market price movements ring as true today as in 1923.

Jesse Livermore won and lost tens of millions of dollars playing the stock and commodities markets during the early 1900s. So potent a market force was he in his day that, in 1929, he was widely believed to be the man responsible for causing the Crash.

Originally reviewed in The New York Times as a nonfiction book, Reminiscences of a Stock Operatorvividly recounts Livermore’s mastery of the markets from the age of 14. Always good at figures, he learns, early on, that he can predict which way the numbers will go. Starting out with an investment of five dollars, he amasses a fortune by his early twenties and establishes himself as a major player on the Street. Bullish in bear markets, and bearish among bulls, he claims that only suckers gamble on the market. The trick, he advises, is to protect yourself by balancing your investments, and selling big on the way down. Livermore goes broke three times, but he comes back each time feeling richer for the learning experience.

Offering profound insights into the motivations, attitudes, and feelings shared by every investor, Reminiscences of a Stock Operator is a timeless instructional tale that will enrich the lives – and the portfolios – of today’s traders as it has those of generations past.

“To the best of my knowledge, the methods you are about to learn have never been revealed in this manner anywhere else in the literature of technical analysis. They are the fruits of many years of research and experimentation with the natural and recurring principles of Fibonacci. In my own trading, I have found these methodologies to be extremely powerful in forecasting price highs and lows in virtually all markets.”

“There are five Fibonacci techniques introduced here for forecasting market tops and bottoms. These will be referred to as the Fibonacci Spatial Relationship techniques.”
