BarroMetrics Views: Useful Sites
It’s that time again - when I run through the sites I have found useful. Some of these sites are free, others are commercial and some are a mixture of both. All provide great value to the trader.
Quantitative Analysis
Here Rob Hanna’s site stands out: Quantifiable Edges
Jason Goepfert also has a good site for quant analysis: Sentiment Trader. I find however that his sentiment information is more useful.
Psychology
Dr. Brett Steenbarger has a fabulous blog site: traderfeed. Brett is prodiguous in his output. I marvel at the hours he puts in. The added bonus is that all the information is free. His book: The Daily Coach belongs on every trader’s bookshelf.
Denise Shull is the other trading psyche coach of whom I am a fan. Her blogs are so-so (TraderPysche). But her course Accessing Psychological Capital is first class and of great value. I understand from Denise she’ll have a book out in 2010: “The Anti-dote to the Black Swan”.
Money Management
Sad to say I have yet to find a course that I can recommend in this category.
Sentiment Services
There are three good services:
- Sentiment Trader: Stocks only
- Whisper Numbers: Stocks only
- Bullish Review: Futures
Trading Courses
Alexander Tzavaras has an excellent value for money course - very comprehensive in terms of a trading strategy. (Trade With Pride)
New Books
Apart from Daily Trading Coach, there has been a dearth of interesting new trading books. Much that I have read is a rehash of old ideas in a new format.
This is not the case in other genres. By far, the greatest impact on trading education will be Daniel Coyle’s Book: The Talent Code
An earlier book in the same category is: Talent is Overrated.
Finally the Three Laws of Performance brings to the written realm, Landmark Forum’s course. What I call ‘default future’ is well explained in the book. However, I do have doubts on whether the book’s solution to our default future is as simple as suggested.
