The Success Secrets of a Stock Market Legend



Jesse Livermore was a loner, an individualist-and the most successful stock trader who ever lived. Written shortly before his death in 1940, How to Trade Stocks offered traders their first account of that famously tight-lipped operator's trading system. Written in Livermore's inimitable, no-nonsense style, it interweaves fascinating autobiographical and historical details with step-by-step guidance on:
  • Reading market and stock behaviors
  • Analyzing leading sectors
  • Market timing
  • Money management
  • Emotional control


In this new edition of that classic, trader and top Livermore expert Richard Smitten sheds new light on Jesse Livermore's philosophy and methods. Drawing on Livermore's private papers and interviews with his family, Smitten provides priceless insights into the Livermore trading formula, along with tips on how to combine it with contemporary charting techniques. Also included is the Livermore Market Key, the first and still one of the most accurate methods of tracking and recording market patterns

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great read
Well written book with much useable information from the master of stock trading. I have purchased many books on the market and this ranks near the top of the list.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Jesse Livermore Lives On
Livermore lived during the Great Depression and was known as "The Boy Plunger" for taking on large positions. He had been trading stocks since he was 15 and was regarded as one of the best speculators of his time. He made and lost millions, and this was back when a million was a lot of money. If Livermore was alive today he would be one of the most sophisticated traders around.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - An essential item for any new trader
A good book for the new trader.
Follow the hints provided by Mr. Livermore, but, be careful; don't let greed to guide your trading decisions.


Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Nice story-telling book, not much more...
I had previously read the 'Remininscenses of a Stock Operator', which I found to be an interesting story and hence I decided to read this book hoping for some concrete trading ideas.

Unfortunately, it was a total waste o $13+pp and a few days' time.
The author uses some fancy terms (thought of by himself), makes some analogies to a friend of his from the army, but eventually I do not feel more educated even by the smallest of margins.

Any "advice" "offered" is very ... Read More


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Really magic - after sifting through some padding
I have read many books on trading and have to agree with many other reviewers here - Livermore's original text is like gold. On some pages I found myself underlining almost every line. I found that the second two thirds of the book were filled with repeat quotes, repeated charts and some spelling errors. For the first third though I have given it 4 stars - the original text is hard to find (although I have just picked it up now on Wikipedia thanks to another reader's review). Trade in the strongest ... Read More
