Wall Street Stories by Edwin Lefèvre came out in 1901. It's a collection of short stories about people, money, and the exchange, written with a light touch and, in places, real humor.
Since then, technology, tools, and trade execution speed have all changed. But traders haven't. Greed. Fear of missing a move. Impatience. The urge to enter without a plan and close a trade too early. Lefèvre shows these mistakes through concrete situations, with no theory for theory's sake.
A small spoiler
Pay attention to the story about turpentine stocks, "The Break in Turpentine." It's a ready-made case study, one we actually break down in the UniqUnits course as a climax move inside a liquidity-taking zone.
Read the story and try to answer this: at what point does the market stop accumulating liquidity and start distributing it into the move?
Next post, we'll break down this exact case on the chart itself.
