The books I picked & why

Book cover of The Encyclopedia Of Technical Market Indicators

Mark Leibovit Why I love this book

Robert and I were friends and co-members of the Market Technician's Assn back in the late 1980s and I was honored that chose my Volume Reversal Indicator to be mentioned in the book.

I was a friend of Robert Colby and co-members of the Market Technicians Association and was personally honored he incorporated my VR (Volume Reversal) in his book. I also felt he was way ahead of the crowd in putting together such a comprehensive book and I wanted to honor him with a mention.

Book cover of Reminiscences of a Stock Operator

Mark Leibovit Why I love this book

This a market classic - one that I read decades ago trying to understand the manipulations in the stock market.

It is my understanding that Edwin Lefevre is a pseudo-name for Jesse Livermore. Jesse Livermore was a stock trader that amassed a huge fortune worth $100 million ($1.5 billion in today's money) at his peak in 1929. Livermore traded on his own, using his own funds, his own system, and not trading anyone else's capital.

I felt a strong affinity with this book because my stock market mentor, Roger Cole, had described his relationship with Jesse Livermore and I felt reading the book was like a friend was telling me the story. In fact, Roger did tell me similar stories of personal encounters with Jesse and I felt warm and fuzzy hearing all the stock manipulation stories, especially since Roger was a stock manipulator in his day and probably learned the techniques from Jesse.

Book cover of Candlestick Charting Explained: Timeless Techniques for Trading Stocks and Futures

Mark Leibovit Why I love this book

Greg Morris created one of the first (if not the first) candlestick charting educational books a few decades ago and set the standard for learning about this technical analysis technique.

We had worked together on my newsletter for a period of time as he helped create some of the charts (non-candlestick) that I used. We became personal friends. One of the greatest honors for me is that he wrote the intro to my book. How can I not like him?

Greg Morris and I have been friends for decades. He wrote the introduction to my book but regardless I admired him as a great market technician and contributor to technical analysis. He also helped me personally creating charts for my VR newsletter and went out of his way doing so.
