One Good Trade
Inside the Highly Competitive World of Proprietary Trading
Mike Bellafiore
One Good Trade approaches trading as professional skill development rather than a search for predictions. Mike Bellafiore uses the environment of a proprietary trading desk to explore preparation, discipline, stocks in play, execution, tape reading, deliberate practice and the habits that separate improving traders from traders who repeatedly make the same mistakes.
