Charlie D.: The Story of the Legendary Bond Trader

Check for bad print quality.Mine has the writings "Print and bound by CPI Group (UK)" on the last page and lack the "Printed in the Unites Statef of America" in the first page.I sent it back and asked for a refund.

The quality of the paper and the hardcover are amazing. The contents of the book are on a whole different level.

I read the 1 other review of this book, and I felt compelled to write my own review. The other reviewer quite rightly writes that this is not a book about practical advice on trading. I accept that, but to say it is a waste of time is a gross injustice to what I consider to be an outstanding trading book.Why do I say that? Well, consider that trading books are a dime a dozen, and consider that there is no shortage of trading books, trading newsletters, trading services, trading seminars, trading web-seminars etc, and yet the failure rate in the trading industry, at least among private traders is around 90-95%, then alarm bells should ring.The path to profits is not just a function of technical or fundamental analysis. It is not just about becoming an expert in one method or one candlechart set-up. Rather it is the combination of both the technical foundation and the mental framework.I believe that the author has captured so well what made Charlie a great trader. He was a pit trader, so there was no access to screens. You may think that this makes the book un-applicable to the modern-day trader, but in reality, what anyone who will take the time to read this book will take away from it is that Charlie was a great trader because of how he was thinking while he was trading. I believe in there lies the truth value of this book.My 2 pence worth

A fabulous insight into the life of one of the greatest. I can highly recommend it.

Great book
