People sometimes ask me, "Besides what you develop yourself, what other resources/products have you found that you would recommend?"  On this page, as time permits, I'll call out various sites, products and developers that I have a high regard for.  Some of these folks I know personally, some only through their work.  Either way, comments on specific products are based upon on my own experience with the principals and/or their products.  These are (some of) the recommendations I make to personal friends.  I hope and expect that you will find these references interesting, educational, and profitable!

StockFinder  Worden

This is the software to have for end-of-day scanning of the entire stock market.  It's fast, flexible, powerful, and a bargain at the price.  Highly recommended. 

MESA Software  John Ehlers

The "rocket scientist" of traders, John Ehlers is known for his application of digital signal processing techniques to market data.  For all you electrical-engineer/scientist types out there, if you want to see how your college education can be applied to the technical analysis of financial markets, John's books, articles, and lectures are the ticket.  Along with tons of technical information, the MESA site features the complete source code to the books "Rocket Science for Traders" and "Cybernetic Analysis for Stocks and Futures" for a very modest price. 

Advanced Diary  by CSoftLab

This is the simplest, easiest to use, most flexible diary (i.e. trading log) software I've found yet.  All the calendar organization is already done for you.  It's a breeze to type in notes and paste in screen-shots to create a near-realtime record of your trading day.  Backup capabilities are provided, and any day can be exported as a .rtf document.  None of the bloat or clunkiness of Word here - just exactly what one wants in a daily log.  If you are not happy with your current trading log solution, give this one a try!

Unicorn Trading  Alex Matulich

Alex's site has several goodies, including a Monte Carlo position sizing tool, technical discussions, and free EL code.  I particularly like his take on expectancy.  So, check it out!  I think you will agree that this site is a real find.

Why You Lose At Trading  Avery T Horton, Jr.

Unorthodox, insightful, fun-to-read, this 120 page EBook spells it out, just like the title says.  Direct and to-the-point (always!), Avery explains exactly why losers lose in language anyone can understand.  If you are making none of the mistakes called out in this book, then you are certainly not losing!  If you are making any of them, then this is the reminder you need.  This little gem is a bargain at the requested donation of $20.  To get your copy, click on the link above.
