A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

"Written by one of the world's best trading coaches, The PlayBook teaches traders who do not trade U.S. equities how a pro does. At the largest prop firm in South Africa, Mike coached our guys to add U.S. equities to their trading quiver. This memorable experience is archived in humorous, engaging, and educational detail to help you build your own playbook.”

—Garreth Montano and Kevin Thomas, Managing Partners, African Gateway and Storm Securities

 

"The PlayBook teaches traders how to build a personal methodology and how to be scalable. It demonstrates the necessity for traders to embrace technology and become more bionic, so they improve their P&L. The PlayBook offers a peek into the future of trading and who will be successful. This is an important book.”

—Andy Kershner, CEO of Kershner Trading Group
