If you bought any of his other books, don't bother...,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Tao of Trading: Discovering a Simpler Path to Success (Hardcover)
This book deals with some really important points. Having read it after 'The Intuitive Trader' and 'The Inner Game of Trading', I found the points he makes in this book worthwhile, but repetitive of the other 2. I recommend 'The Inner ...if you were to buy only one.

Forget about this,
This review is from: The Tao of Trading: Discovering a Simpler Path to Success (Hardcover)
If you really believe that the Eastern philosophy of Tao/Taoism can enhance your success in trading, buy and read "The way of the warrior trader, the financial risk taker's guide to samurai courage, confidence and discipline" by Dr. Richard D.McCall. Dont waste your time and money on somebody who knows so little about Tao and just does copy and paste Chinese adages and his own old writings here and there.
p.s. I had read Koppel's other books before and had rated them as two or three star stuff. I am so sorry that I had not disciplined myself enough to stop making another unnecessary loss for being attracted by the appealing title of the book. The good thing is: I borrowed this one from the library.

Didn't I already read this book?,
By Mr. Wan (y) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Tao of Trading: Discovering a Simpler Path to Success (Hardcover)
Koppel may as well update a single book with new volumes rather than writing a new book with a new "twist" on it. A book on "Tao", and "intuition" relating to trading.What's next, "physical strength" related to trading? I don't know how serious Koppel is regarding to Tao. It seems like he found a philisophical and complex subject, like ancient religion, and found whatever way he could to relate it to trading. His link was a waste of time and served no purpose. Drop the Tao, stick with the important topics, stay serious. I got no similarity between Tao as he describes it and anything applicable in my trading. I can imagine his next book: "Gardening and Trading" where one would compare the features of "gardening" to "trading" and the demands and features that are similar to both of them. "You must trim dead leaves in your garden. You also trim losing positions in your portfolio. Only open new trades when they show promise and watch it bloom into a wonderful gain, as you would buy a seed to watch it bloom into a wonderful plant." They don't have anything to do with each other, yet, the author goes out of his way to find a parallel between Tao and trading. The author tells how Jazz is also like trading. Please, stop writing books with the same "lists" of winning trader's personality, what you do when you are upset, right-brain, left brain features, and just update one title if you have anything new to say.
