I don’t know the word for it but I wanted to start a thread about books which are routed in fact but they have a better flow for reading, kind of like ‘flash boys’ but Michael Lewis which is the most well known I would imagine. 

Which interesting finance and trading related books have you read and would recommend? 

Maybe they don’t need to ALL be specifically like that but any trading books you find interesting. 

I am currently reading Dark Pool by Scott Patterson and it’s very very interesting. I would recommend reading or getting from Amazon or the library if you can. Paperback is a few quid and it’s an interesting read. All about how these matching engines started and pooled liquidity away from the main exchanges. It gives you a good understanding of the “plumbing” behind it all. Also makes more sense when looking at the market. 

I’m the sort of person who would like to read as much around a topic as possible and I think it makes you a better well rounded trader to understand the back end too. 

Has anyone else got some books to recommend please?

I like the concept of that review Casey as it looks like it explains the CORE concept of technical analysis. I’m always a fan of the why, rather than the how, and if I believe the why then I trust myself to figure out the how... 

for example WHY support and resistance works, rather than just how to use it. Why movingaverageswork rather than how etc etc.

    • MerlinChain aims to resolve these issues through its innovative Bitcoin Layer 2 infrastructure. At its core, the project integrates zk-Rollup technology, a decentralized oracle network, and on-chain anti-fraud modules - all while maintaining deep compatibility with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). For years, Bitcoin has been plagued by scalability issues stemming from its architecture - specifically the need to propagate every transaction to each node on the base layer. While incredibly secure, this makes Bitcoin virtually unusable for high throughput applications and daily transactions due to longer confirmation times and high fees during periods of network congestion. In an exciting development for Bitcoin enthusiasts and scalability advocates, the MERL token for MerlinChain is being listed on Bitget exchange.

DIRECTION: Downside in wave Z.   DETAILS: Looking for support as we touched 0.618 Z vs. X. If we find resistance on Medium Level at 150 then we can expected further downside.           JNJ Elliott Wave Analysis Trading Lounge 4Hr Chart, Johnson & Johnson, (JNJ) 4Hr Chart JNJ Elliott Wave Technical Analysis   FUNCTION: Trend MODE: Impulsive STRUCTURE: Motive POSITION: Wave (iv) of {c}. DIRECTION: Downside into wave (v).   DETAILS: Looking to find resistance on 150, as wave (ii) was sharp we could anticipate a sideways wave (iv), to move around 150 itself.   On April 24, 2024, we conducted a comprehensive Elliott Wave analysis on Johnson & Johnson (Ticker: JNJ), focusing on the dynamics revealed through the daily and 4-hour chart studies. Our analysis highlights crucial patterns and potential future movements, offering valuable insights for traders and investors engaged in JNJ’s stock.       * JNJ Elliott Wave Technical Analysis – Daily Chart* Johnson & Johnson is observed in a counter trend phase characterized by a complex corrective structure, specifically placed in Intermediate wave (2). Currently, the stock is progressing through the downside movements of wave Z. Key observations indicate the stock has reached the Fibonacci retracement level of 0.618 Z vs. X, signaling a potential area for finding support. Should resistance solidify at the medium level of $150, further downside could be expected as the pattern completes. * JNJ Elliott Wave Technical Analysis – 4H Chart* The 4-hour chart provides additional granularity into JNJ's Elliott Wave structure. Unlike the daily chart’s corrective mode, the intraday perspective shows an impulsive mode within a motive structure, pinpointing the stock in wave (iv) of {c}. This suggests that despite the broader correction, short-term dynamics involve impulsive downside movements. With wave (ii) noted as sharp, a contrasting sideways consolidation in wave (iv) is anticipated around $150, leading to a further decline in wave (v).   Technical Analyst : Alessio Barretta   Source : Tradinglounge.com get trial here!  
    • Asian stocks, led by tech shares, rallied sharply on Wednesday as investors shifted focus to upcoming earnings from major US tech companies like Meta, Alphabet and Microsoft. Tesla's shares surged 12.5% after-hours as it promised new electric vehicle models, despite missing Q1 expectations. This boosted sentiment in Asia's tech sector. The Japanese yen remained depressed near 34-year lows against the US dollar around 154.85, keeping traders wary of potential intervention by Japanese authorities. Broad gains were seen across Asian markets like Taiwan, South Korea, Japan's Nikkei and the MSCI Asia-Pacific ex-Japan index. China and Hong Kong stocks were mixed. The risk-on rally is expected to extend to Europe with futures pointing to a higher open. Apart from tech earnings, markets are also eyeing US GDP and core PCE inflation data this week for clues on Fed rate path. US Treasury yields and the dollar index eased after data showed a cooling in US business activity and inflation pressures in April. The Australian dollar jumped on hotter-than-expected inflation data, prompting removal of rate cut bets for this year. Oil prices were largely flat as geopolitical tensions offset economic concerns.
