Trade Like a Stock Market Wizard

Trade Like a Stock Market Wizard by Mark Minervini presents the stock-picking method the author developed during his career as a competitive growth-stock trader. The book explains how to look for leading companies with strong earnings and rising share prices, and how to time an entry when the chart shows the stock is ready to move. It introduces his own approach to analyzing a stock, including a checklist for judging a trend and a pattern in which price swings gradually tighten before a breakout. Equal attention goes to protecting capital, with clear advice on limiting losses, taking profits and sizing positions. Along the way the author shares personal lessons about discipline and mistakes he made early on. It suits traders who already know the basics and want a rule-based system for growth stocks, and it connects well with our guides on stock screening and risk management.
