Jesse Livermore is recognized as one of the world’s greatest traders–if not the greatest. He broke new ground in almost every area of stock market trading. Livermore developed pivotal point trading into an art form and was among the first to regularly buy stocks on new high breakouts. Although he began his career in 1892, the ideas and practices he displayed are as valid today as they were when he was first implementing them–and making millions.

Through forty-five years of trading and market observation, Jesse Livermore determined that stocks and stock markets move in a series of repetitive patterns. He then developed a series of unique tools, using secret formulas and equations that allowed him to identify and interpret the movement in stocks with uncanny reliability.

In Trade Like Jesse Livermore, author and Livermore expert Richard Smitten explores the technical aspects of Livermore’s trading success and shows you how to use these techniques to achieve success like Livermore. Smitten skillfully outlines Livermore’s methods of dealing with what he considered the three essentials of successful stock market trading: timing, money management, and emotional control.
