😎Today we will discuss not just a book — a legend.

Edwin Lefèvre - "Reminiscences of a Stock Operator"

This is not just an artistic story. It is a deep dive into the thinking of a major player, a person who did not float with the market – he controlled it.

👉The main character is a prototype of the real trader Jesse Livermore, one of the most powerful speculators of the 20th century.

💸The book reveals the behavior of a "whale" from the inside: how it remains calm, waits, builds traps, and acts against the crowd, making the market dance to its tune.

💸The most interesting thing is that Livermore was hired by large companies to artificially create demand for stocks, drive up the price, and then carefully lock in profits. This was not trading — it was a strategy for managing sentiment.

💸But he truly became legendary during moments of playing the downside. Especially in 1929, when the market crash devastated the USA, and he, shorting the market, earned over $100 million, becoming an enemy of Wall Street and a hero to those who wanted to understand how a true market predator thinks.

This book is not about the "buy/sell" buttons, but about:
⚫️ How the strongest market players act
⚫️ Why patience is more important than any indicators
⚫️ And how important it is to not be right, but to be on the side of the trend

💸If you want to step out of the crowd mode and start thinking like a market maker — start with this book. It will open your eyes to what is really happening behind the scenes of the exchange.
