A Must Have to See Inside the Mind of A Millionaire Trader
Great insight into the mind of Peter Brandt. Although his style is a little different to my daily plan, this book helps you see the process and thinking of a professional trader. It's not a story book of trades like Market Wizards. This is Peter's charts and thoughts of trade set-ups he is looking at over time. For me I was pleasantly surprised. And If you like Edwards and Magee's books, add this one to your library.
