[Aashish Rathi · Rating 4 out of 5]

A very nice narrative of someone who, if you ask me, exemplifies what a good trader should be like. And Steve's remarks also make it more relevant for the 21st century. Though I felt that those remarks were too repetitive and, urmmm, verbose. A good read nonetheless!

Probably the best book about trend trading.
Contains a story of Nicolas Darvas, his learnings, his mistakes, his success and does it in a very good, humble way. Plus the commentary of Steve Burns is also pretty good. So far the best book about stock trading I have read.

A stock picking gimmick that actually worked for someone.
