Trade Like a Stock Market Wizard: How to Achieve Super Performance in Stocks in Any Market (BUSINESS BOOKS)

I have read both ‘Trade Like A Stock Market Wizard’ and ‘Think & trade Like a Champion’ multiple times over, having first read ‘Trade Like A Stock Market Wizard’ in April 2018.I have been trading for circa 2 years, originally focussing on UK AIM- listed stocks. After a brief period of success (during a roaring bull market, in which even a fool could have made a £ or ££), I came to realise that all the truly great companies (think Amazon, Facebook, Google etc. etc.) tended to emerge from the Capitalist-King of the world; the good old US-of-A. I then started researching UK- based brokers and found that it was achievable to partake in this roaring market. My head was then turned.I have read both books 3 times over (if not more if considering the individual chapter reads) and each re-read has provided a deeper and more thorough insight into Mark’s method and his work, which takes inspiration and initial guidance from many of the principles laid out by William O’Neill.This is not a re-fabrication of William O’Neill’s work. Oh no! This is completely original, raw and truly information beyond belief. Mark leaves no stone unturned and his desire to impart all his knowledge (over 30 years!!) into this book shines through.From start to finish, both books cover off a whole trading strategy. No wonder I now refer to it as my bible! If ever you are in doubt, re-reading the appropriate chapters (if not all!) is a great confirmer and confidence builder.Mark’s method is truly timeless. He often refers back to stocks spanning decades and you will begin to build an appreciation for how human behaviour doesn’t change over time and that patterns represent themselves time and time again. By applying Mark’s filtering skills to find these stocks and then applying a Specific Entry Point Analysis (SEPA – Mark’s ‘Golden Nugget’) to these stocks, you can then start to define high reward: low risk entry points, whilst also have a good grasp on sell violations and risk management. The complete cycle!!Post reading, I decided then to attend Mark’s 2017 Master Trader Program – held in the beautiful Myrtle Beach in South Carolina.If you think the books make good reading, wow!!! – the seminar was UNREAL!!... my thoughts as follows:I honestly cannot put into words how informative and well-structured the whole weekend was - clearly this has been many months in the making. Personally, coming from the UK and having viewed this as a 'risky' investment, I was a little unsure as to what to expect. I was thrilled to find that the accommodation and location was perfect, the mix of experience of attendees and the diverse of geographies was fantastic and Mark Minvervini and David Ryan portrayed their investment style (and individual traits and personalities) in such an easy-to-learn and fun manner. Whilst both are very passionate about what they do, Mark is very different to David and I think the mix in personas made the whole event very fun and enjoyable. No stone was left upturned and, to be completely honest, I am very much hoping that I can return next year. One thing I did take away from me is that this journey is never complete - you are always learning. Take for instance my first trade since returning to the UK; AMRN, Power Plat setup with a VCP forming in the high tight flag pattern with reduced volume. It looked a nice setup and so I tested the water with a light position, given my 'newness' to this chart pattern and the overall market. Unfortunately, I was stopped out. However, it's strange to think pleased about that! Normally, I would look to increase my stop and skew my risk: reward ratio, but now I can sit back and analyse the trade and look to see where I went wrong. So, in short, the trade was flawed however my discipline was excellent. I'm proud of that as that was an area of mine that I found most difficult. (This trade was made during a difficult trading period and my entry point was a little early – I’d say I was a little trigger happy to make a trade!).You will not be disappointed by either the books or the seminar. To achieve greatness, you have to invest in yourself first, right? Don’t overly dwell on the cost of the seminar – it is worth every $$$ and that’s from someone travelling from the UK!

Full of motivation, Every line is worth. Passionated and excited to read it again and again. Very Well articulated points towards success

I wish I had read this book in 2010 when I first started to trade, though sometimes you have to learn from your mistakes and then it all comes together when you read a book such as this one.This book has now helped me clear my mind and add what is missing in my system and rules, I feel like that finally, from the last 3-5 years of mediocre returns I can excel to double digit annual returns now, all this was a few filter additions needed to my software thanks to Mark.If you want to start trading or are already on your journey then this book is a must for anyone that wants to buy and sell stocks, whether short term or long term as an investor.I have just bought Mark’s other books from Amazon USA as they are not available on Amazon UK, you might need a USA address for delivery then can be posted to you in the U.K. This book however is available to U.K. buyers and delivers to U.K. so get it whilst you can if you are in the U.K.I don’t usually write long reviews for a book, but this one deserved it as if you know of Jesse Livermore one of the greatest traders to live, then Mark is a true disciple living today! Proving and actually achieving the returns today just as Jesse was in the early 1900s.In life there are moments that are Ah ha, in this book I found that Ah ha moment, it could be something in this book for you as a trader that joins the missing dots and tees and change your trading journey forever for the better like it has done for me, good reading and take control of your financial future and outcome from trading!

Recommended by a friend. It is good

Reading this book was a real light-bulb moment for me. It is brilliantly written in terms of strategy, risk and encouragement to persist. But there is nothing new here, its a straight forward and logical approach to the market and to be honest I wonder why everyone isn't applying these principals - it seems so obvious having read the book!Mark focuses equally on both technical and fundamental factors. The technical content is founded on identifying low risk break outs from correct base structures in a Stage 2 uptrend, supported by volume at key points. No lagging indicators (which I have never been a fan of) - price and volume, that's it. The fundamentals focus on earnings and sales growth, estimate revisions and surprises, market leadership, industry group leadership and catalysts for further growth. Most importantly Mark's words are backed by decades of stellar performance - he is a Market Wizard for good reason.In terms of strategy, this book, Mark's other book (Think and Trade Like a Champion) and O'Neil's book (How to make Money In Stocks) are all I will ever read. Mark also offers insight via Twitter into how he applies his own principals on a daily basis, which is hugely helpful. An absolute legend - thank you Mark.

I’m just starting to learn about trading in stock market and this book really helped me understand some basic rules to succeed. From understanding the stages of a stock trading, how to identify good opportunity to invest and when to pull back and maintain a healthy risk management.

Practical advice for new or experienced traders. Well written and easy to understand. Recommend all of Mark’s books as a reference library.

A game-changing book by Mark; he gives you the fine detail into his strategies/tactics for selecting emerging growth companies. So many amazing tips in this book; has taught me how to run reports and select new growth companies, and generally how to manage your portfolio. Couldn't recommend this book highly enough, gave me a tonne of value. Well done Mark and thank you!
