Just when you thought it was safe to trade again!
Mr. Koppel does an interesting job of matching Taoism with trading. He opens your eyes to the necessity of following your intuition and creating your own path to success with trading. That being said this book is not for everyone. Those traders that do not buy into touchy feeliness and who want hardcore mathematics and statistics you will be sorely disappointed.As the author of three futures trading books I know it is hard to appeal to everyone in the audience, so you simply do your best.
My hat's off to Mr.Koppel

The Tao of Trading
This is an excellent book. It almost reads like a poetry book for traders. It is not merely about the Tao...it unfolds and reveals ideas and insights like the Tao itself. This may sound somewhat strange but if you are interested in creativity and trading and its relationship to some of the great insights of the East the subject matter here will be found useful and worthwhile. Also, check out Mc Call and Steinhardt.

Forget about this
If you really believe that the Eastern philosphy 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 copies and pastes Chinese adages and his own old writings here and there. p.s. I am sorry that I had read Koppel's other books before and had rated them as two or three star stuff. I am sorry that I have not disciplined myself enough to stop making another unnecessary loss by being attracted by the appealing title of the book. The good thing is: I borrowed this one from the library.
