[M · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved this book! It was one of those stories that really draws you in and is hard to put down. It explores the evolving life of the main character "Damon" who is an expat, trader, traveler and adventurer seeking success in work and life. With all its twists and turns, Damon's professional and personal journey takes you through the many high and lows of a workaholic perfectionist seeking to master the markets while making some stark realizations along the way. It challenges the role that the dissemination of information/misinformation plays in defining perceived reality and demonstrates the effect that #fakenews can have on markets and society. If you think you have ever had a tough day at work, read this book and it will put it all into perspective ;o) Highly recommended!

Diary of a trader

Really enjoyed this day in the life an execution trader told as a novel. Lots of real life details that aren't usually covered in nonfiction let alone a novel. If you are a trader or work in the financial markets you will enjoy the book
