Publisher Description
An inside look at what it really takes to become a better trader
A proprietary trading firm consists of a group of professionals who trade the capital of the firm. Their income and livelihood is generated solely from their ability to take profits consistently out of the markets. The world of prop trading is mentally and emotionally challenging, but offers substantial rewards to the select few who can master this craft called trading.
In One Good Trade: Inside the Highly Competitive World of Proprietary Trading, author Mike Bellafiore shares the principles and techniques that have enabled him to navigate the most challenging of markets over the past twelve years. He explains how he has imparted those techniques to an elite desk of traders at the proprietary trading firm he co-founded. In doing so, he lifts the veil on the inner workings of his firm, shedding light on the challenges of prop trading and insight on why traders succeed or fail.

Becoming a better trader takes discipline, skill development, and statistically profitable trading strategies, and this book will show you how to develop all three.

One Good Trade Review
I have already highly recommended this book to an upcoming trader. Even with my few years of experience I received great value from this book!
Solid Book
This book is lighter on trading setups than one might think when purchasing. That said, there is a lot of good info on the mentality, the discipline, and the work ethic of a successful trader. It’s wonderful to read after a losing streak because Bellafiore comes off as what he is: a mentor to younger traders full of anecdotes and humorous analogies to help get you back on your feet.
Great read
Great book for those interested in getting into the proprietary trading world or those just interested in the behind the scenes workings of prop firms. Goes into great detail with real world stories from Mike's firm, SMB Capital, and gives insight as to what firms look for in their hiring process.
Of course, also includes great educational material about reading the tape, finding trends, and being profitable in any environment. Definitely recommend for those new and experienced alike.
