101 Trading Ideas: A Magical List for Fast-Paced Alpha Hunting

Trading ideas are the lifeblood of every trader, investor, trading desk, and fund. A constant flow of fresh ideas is necessary in order to take advantage of new opportunities and stay ahead of evolving and changing markets. New ideas forecast our relevance to the future; they are the difference between moving forward or being left behind, the difference between staying young or growing old.

The goal of 101 Trading Ideas is to help the user quickly create new trading ideas. The centerpiece of this book is a list of over 101 trading ideas, and the purpose of the list is to trigger user-specific trading ideas. The latter part of the book contains seventeen example trading strategies detailing the process of going from the list to a triggered idea to a trading strategy.

"The book you’re about to read is far bigger than 101 trading ideas because it’s 101 ways to develop trading ideas. If you’re in the business of finding nourishment from financial markets, you’ll find this a most useful fishing guide. Or, as Victor Niederhoffer—the mentor who brought Henry and me together—would say, herein you’ll find a meal for a lifetime, not merely one for a day.”
