Anyone know of any sites that have file sharing with a financial or stock focus? Kinda like a Napster for traders??? I am NOT referring to the general sites which have run of the mill info like gossip and stock prices, charts etc (eg tradingroom.com.au or investor.com.au).

More like sites where people have stashed copies of hard to get books or articles or brandname software (for nix).

This site for example is BRILLIANT imho and has lots of articles and, importantly, some pdf files of some stuff you'd pay a bit of money for or wouldn't otherwise find on the web for free: http://www.forexnet.lv/DesktopDefault.aspx?tabid=515

Just curious, not encouraging anyone, good to know what's out there...sharing is caring...all us small punters are on the same side...it's a free market....

Thanks kp,
BTW, what does it do? They want you to register first and says it's worth $200 which makes me suspicious? thought you may have it, hence the q.

Hi RichKid

I have downloaded it - it has 8 calculator tabs:

1. Trading Plan.
2. Position Size.
3. Price Target Uptrend Long
4. Price Target Uptrend Short
5. Price Target Downtrend Long
6. Price Target Downtrend Short
7. Max Trailing Stops Longs
8. Max Trailing Stops Shorts

Whether its useful to anyone or not that’s for them to decide, I suppose
My limited experience precludes me from saying one way or another.

Jesse Livermore found this site- it has a link to Elder's trading for a living in pdf, enjoy: http://www.users.on.net/~mindwarp/ and an older format (current text) of Van Tharp's Trade your way to financial freedom'.

(direct link http://www.users.on.net/~mindwarp/Alexander Elder - Trading for a living.pdf)

Any of you web search wizards able to find more popular trading books in ebook/pdf format?? Please post links here if you do.

More free stuff on candlesticks:

www.candlecharts.com is Steve Nison's site, it has some free guides on candlesticks. Would be nice to get his books in pdf too if possible...anyone want to helpout...

www.pring.com has some of Martin Pring's free video tutes (shortened versions) on candlesticks, personally I prefer Nison's work.
 
Anyone see or have a free ecopy/ebook of Trading in the Zone by Mark Douglas? I found an old (inactive) link via google but nothing current.

RC you can borrow mine if you send it back before Xmas.
 
Richkid, if you can private message me your email address, I'll forward it on to you.
 
While we're on the subject of books, I'm reading 'A Mathematician Plays the Stockmarket' by John Allen Paulos at the moment and so far enjoying it.
 
Was introduced to these guys at a Investor Meeting the other night.

Very interesting stuff including the portfolio manager and float notices. Check it out:

http://www.investsmart.com.au/

Enjoy

Mick

PS: It's free damnit! FREE!!!
 
This is the link to a free copy of Ryan Jones' The Trading Game http://www.moysha.ru/MM/Jones.pdf

It discusses fixed fractional position sizing and his own tweak on it, lots of great basic info on money management and position sizing, a bit tough to read at times but worth it.

Also see this site for some other books (click on a specific software package and then look up the individual links): http://www.yourtrader.biz

If others could add quality (no rubbish please) links to ebooks and other published trading/investment material that is free it'll be great for us all here on ASF.
 
Does anyone have access to a softcopy (ebook/pdf preferably) of Covel's 'Trend Following' (2005 ed)? PM me or post some references here please. I've done some p2p searches but no luck. Thanks muchly!
 
I'm not sure if any of you are aware of this but there are a lot of fully uploaded books floating on the web up for grabs. From "Trading for a Living" to Steve Nison's legendary book about candlesticks.

It's probably "ethically and morally" wrong for me to publicise where these illegal copies are but here's a hint:

Just google search a wild combination of the books author name, the book title and "pdf" or "free ebook" or one of the free internet upload sites using the inurl search tag.

Have fun searching
