Reminiscences of a Stock Operator is a 1923 roman à clef by American author Edwin Lefèvre. It is told in the first person by a character inspired by the life of stock trader Jesse Livermore up to that point.The book remains in print (ISBN 0471770884). In December 2009, Wiley published an annotated edition in hardcover, ISBN 0-470-48159-5, that bridges the gap between Lefèvre's fictionalized account and the actual people and places referred to in the book. It also includes a foreword by hedge fund manager Paul Tudor Jones.
Hard to get some of the things as we are way away from tactics and practices with all the flash trade going on under the hood. But the basic ideas behind bear/bull markets and human psychology behind traditional markets are there to stay.
Note: this guy wasn't a real person
