The Logical Trader: Applying a Method to the Madness

Praise for The Logical Trader
Applying a Method to the Madness
"Fisher′s messianic willingness to share with the public the successful system he has developed is an opportunity to be exploited."
–from the Foreword by Paul Tudor Jones
Chairman and CEO, Tudor Investment Corp.
"Mark takes the same mental approach to trading that professional athletes and coaches use to succeed on the court. He has taken several college and pro athletes and provided them a game plan for life after basketball."
–John Calipari, Head Basketball Coach, Memphis University
Former NBA Head Coach, New Jersey Nets
"I have been actively involved in the markets (foreign exchange, equities, derivatives) since the early 1970s–as a trader on the CBOT floor in the bond and note ′pits,′ as a foreign exchange dealer at a large multinational bank, as the head of a bank′s futures brokering operation, as a reasonably widely known analyst of the world capital markets writing a daily commentary on these markets, and as a trader on my own. I′ve read a myriad number of ′how to′ books on trading, most of which have proven to be of little merit, if any. However, from the outset, reading and understanding Mark′s insights into his ACD system in The Logical Trader, I′ve learned methods of trading that I probably understood intuitively but now understand logically and with almost numerical rationality. The reading may be difficult for the beginning trader, but the lessons learned will be immediately beneficial; of that I am certain. I strongly endorse this book for the beginner and professional trader alike."
–Dennis Gartman, Editor/Publisher, The Gartman Letter, LC
