Secrets Of The SOES Bandit: The Original Electronic Trader Reveals His Battle-Tested Trading Techniques (229 pages, $29.95 hardcover, 1998, ISBN 0070305773), by Harvey Houtkin with David Waldman, published by McGraw-Hill. Market makers on Wall Street don't like to talk about Harvey Houtkin. When they are forced to discuss this electronic trading pioneer, they're fond of using several nicknames -- monikers like Bandit, Shark, and Electronic Highwayman.
For decades, limited access to markets and stacked-deck trading practices have allowed market makers and big brokerage houses to make fortunes on the backs of the small investors. Then, in 1988, Houtkin discovered that new technologies could pierce their armor. This book shows how to use the advances in technology and regulatory changes to lock in windfall trading profits beyond your wildest imaginings.

Risk Reward: The Art And Science Of Successful Trading (175 pages, $34.95 hardcover, 1998, ISBN 0793126630), by Howard Abell, published by Dearborn Financial Publishing. Risk can be quantified, calculated, managed, and controlled. But in the end, it's about how you respond to the risks in your life. Do you embrace risk? Avoid it? Look on it as an opportunity or as the "alligator" you must wrestle with each day? Every trader deals with risk, and the more you understand your own preconceptions, reactions, and responses, the better you'll perform as a trader and investor. Use risk, apply risk, maximize the opportunities created by risk, and you'll realize new strengths and gain a new edge.
