Summary: Good story but the writer could have done better
Comment: Charlie D was clearly a great guy. Reading of his struggle with cancer and how he dealt with it was the most inspiring part. Also the testimonial from his former girlfriend was enjoyable. Unfortunately, the writer was very jumpy and didn't consistently tell the story. The parts on trading were particularly boring and not helpful. I did enjoy the book based on the personality of Charlie D which comes thru along with the anecdotal stories. Be prepared to skim the slow parts.
Rating: 5
Summary: I've read this book, over and over again...
Comment: I've had this book, for over five years. I pick it up, and read it again... every year. It's one of my favorite books.
The only "meat" for traders, is chapter six... "Charlie's lecture," and it's good.
But the book is much more than that, it's how to live well, and be good to people... with your wealth.
The book has some boring spots, but still, I enjoy reading it; every year or so.

Summary: Can you hold and add to a winning position?
Comment: The meat is in Charlie D's lecture, a little foreplay before, nothing later on. The rest of the book looks like it is written for the Sports Illustrated book of the month club.
"The principles of trading are the same if you're trading 10,20,50 or 100 contracts at a time, or if you're simply trading one. But it takes less time to make more money when you're a larger trader."
When Charlie figured out trading calendar spreads was the most consistent way to make money he mastered the concept and started trading 50-lots at a time instead of always living in fear of losing money trading 1-lots.
He took little blips out (of the market) with enormous size.
Everybody's trading price relationships, you have to have a position on to earn a living. The bigger the position the less time it takes and the more you earn. Always challenge yourself to do it bigger and better and with more size.
"The longer time you serve ... with a position on, the more you know about yourself and the more you know about trading."
"One of the most important things you learn with positions on is how to get out of a trade. You have to take losses today so that you can come back tomorrow."
"The time you know you've become a good trader is that first day you were able to win by holding and adding to a winning position."
