In highlighting his own trading experiences, Busby clearly explains how to beat the market by balancing the impulses of greed and fear, managing risk at all times; and taking responsibility for your trading.

Robert Robbins, "Tactical Trend Trading: Strategies for Surviving and Thriving in Turbulent Markets" : the book

Conventional wisdom has long insisted that the best—if not the only—stock market strategy worth employing is the traditional buy-and-hold model. But buy-and-hold investing is no match for today’s turbulent markets, where real change happens every day and companies and entire industries are stamped out in the blink of an eye. Fortunately, there is a better way, one that enables market participants to preserve their capital while increasing their net gains in even the most volatile of markets. That way is trend trading, and with Tactical Trend Trading as your guide, you will be better prepared than ever before to tackle—and profit from—every curveball that today’s topsy-turvy markets throw your way.

Written by hedge fund manager and trend trader Robert Robbins, Tactical Trend Trading starts out from the basic premise that if market participants learn to embrace change, they will be better able to harness its ability to unlock profits in every corner of the markets. To that end, Robbins equips you not only with the technical trading tools you need to analyze the market backdrop and identify and trade with market-prevailing trends, but also psychological guidelines that will enable you to blast through the emotional obstacles that stand in the way of profit generation and risk control. Rich in detail yet easy to digest and implement, Tactical Trend Trading covers:

Mental strategies for surmounting the ingrained psychological and emotional habits that prevent traders from realizing true financial success;

Techniques for developing a systematic approach to the markets that will enable you to survive and thrive in up, down, and sideways markets;

And much more.

Along the path to becoming a successful trend trader, your technical acumen and mental fortitude will be tested every step of the way.

Trading Price Action Trading Ranges: Technical Analysis of Price Charts Bar by Bar for the Serious Trader By Al Brooks : the book

Over the course of his career, author Al Brooks, a technical analysis contributor to Futures magazine and an independent trader for twenty-five years, has found a way to capture consistent profits regardless of market direction or economic climate. And now, with his new three-book series—which focuses on how to use price action to trade the markets—Brooks takes you step by step through the entire process.

In order to put his methodology in perspective, Brooks examined an essential array of price action basics and trends in the first book of this series, Trading Price Action TRENDS. Now, in this second book, Trading Price Action TRADING RANGES, he provides important insights on trading ranges, breakouts, order management, and the mathematics of trading.

Page by page, Brooks skillfully addresses how to spot and profit from trading ranges—which most markets are in, most of the time—using the technical analysis of price action. Along the way, he touches on some of the most important aspects of this approach, including trading breakouts, understanding support and resistance, and making the most informed entry and exit decisions possible. Throughout the book, Brooks focuses primarily on 5 minute candle charts—all of which are created with TradeStation—to illustrate basic principles, but also discusses daily and weekly charts. And since he trades more than just E-mini S&P 500 futures, Brooks also details how price action can be used as the basis for trading stocks, forex, Treasury Note futures, and options.

Edward Leshik, Jane Cralle, "An Introduction to Algorithmic Trading: Basic to Advanced Strategies, 2 edition" : the book

Algorithmic trading is becoming the industry lifeblood - it is cheaper, faster and easier to control than standard trading and it enables you to ‘pre-think' the market, executing complex math in real time. We are no longer limited by human ‘bandwidth', but the industry is secretive with few willing to share the secrets of their success.

An Introduction to Algorithmic Trading is an introductory guide to this hugely popular area. It begins with demystifying this complex subject and providing readers with specific and usable algorithmic trading knowledge. It outlines the current trading algorithms, the basics of their design, what they are, how they work, how they are used, their strengths, their weaknesses, where the industry is now and where it is going.

The book then features a section describing the choice of stocks to trade on the NASDAQ and the New York Stock Exchange, analytics, and metrics used to optimize trading results - and for the more adventurous reader, a section on how to design trading algorithms.

Finally the authors demonstrate a selection of detailed proprietary and never before seen algorithms targeted exclusively for use by individual traders to trade their own accounts. These algorithms have been developed and used by the authors and are being published here for the very first time.

This is an ideal book for the reader interested in understanding and harnessing the power of algorithmic trading systems, and is accompanied by a CD Rom which provides a quick ‘hands on' route to exploring the power of algorithmic trading on trade NASDAQ and NYSE stocks.
