Types of trading I write about: (i) Fully Systematic & (ii) Semi-Automatic - a mixture of systematic rules and discretionary decision making.

A suggested reading order for my books is:


1. The Art and Science of Trading: an accessible guide to trading without leverage, using a combination of scientific rules potentially combined with artistic discretion.
 

And then either:
 

2. Leveraged Trading: a relatively accessible book on trading with leverage, using both semi-automatic and purely systematic trading strategies, followed by:
3. Advanced Futures Trading Strategies: a guide to trading futures (a leveraged financial instrument) which includes over 30 purely systematic strategies.

 

Or alternatively, if you would prefer to trade without leverage, and at a relatively slow speed (also known as investing):
 

4. Smart Portfolios: a book on investing without leverage, using systematic rules.
 

Then, finally:
 

5. Systematic Trading: a relatively advanced book on designing systematic trading strategies from scratch, both with and without leverage. This book also includes content on semi-automatic trading.
