The Little Book of Trading:
- Identifies tools, concepts, psychologies, and philosophies that keep people protected and making money when the next market bubble or surprise crisis occurs
- Features top traders in each chapter that have beaten the market for decades, providing readers with their moneymaking knowledge

Reviews for The Little Book of Trading
29 ratings6 reviews
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Painful read. Very low-level writing. Way too many exclamation points.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Intereting book, easy to read, give some details but doesn't explain everything....
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is great content to watch i liked it a lot
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A good book at the level of imparting trading principles but does not go into the mechanics of trend following trading at all.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A very well researched book which proves beyond doubt that Trend Following is the best route to follow but doesn't speak much about how to do it.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This book is distinct from his others because it's oriented around several lasting, experienced traders. Instead of sharing dozens of strategies, Covel looks more deeply at how each of them got started and how they have prevailed over time. Key points include that trading strategies should work in a variety of product markets, that risk management is key, and that successful traders tend to buck normal psychology, such as by riding their gains.
