My Top 10 Recommended Trend Investing Books | Reading List + Real Insights
【My Top 10 Recommended Trend Investing Books | Reading List + Real Insights】
In my last post, I mentioned a trend investing reading list, and many of you left comments asking for it.
Personally, I love reading timeless classics — absorbing the wisdom, refining my trading system, and applying what works in real trades.
These books below are ones I’ve personally read, taken notes from, and found impactful in shaping my strategy and mindset. They’re not just reviews I copied — I only recommend them because they’ve worked for me.
(They’re not ranked in order. I’ll also explain at the end why my course is built on the essence of these classics.)
⸻
📘 1. Reminiscences of a Stock Operator – Edwin Lefevre
A classic storytelling the legendary life of Jesse Livermore.
While it reads like a novel, it’s packed with deep trading philosophy.
Trading isn’t just watching screens — it’s about mindset, timing, and discipline.
CN version:《股票作手回忆录》
⸻
📘 2. How to Make Money in Stocks – William O’Neil
Decades of research distilled into one book.
Introduces the CANSLIM strategy: C-A-N-S-L-I-M — each letter represents a key trait of top-performing stocks.
The first 100 pages of chart studies will blow your mind.

⸻
📘 3. Trade Like a Stock Market Wizard – Mark Minervini
This book completely changed how I view trend investing.
Minervini, a student of O’Neil, built the SEPA system: low risk, high reward.
Extremely practical and detailed — perfect for those who want to ride trends effectively.
CN version:《超级绩效》/《股票魔法师》
⸻
📘 4. Think and Trade Like a Champion – Mark Minervini
A deeper follow-up covering risk control, position sizing, mindset, process, and discipline.
You’ll learn: top traders don’t always win — they just lose small, and win big when right.
CN version:《超级绩效2》/《股票魔法师II》
⸻
📘 5. Momentum Masters – Minervini & Others
A roundtable discussion between 4 elite traders:
Minervini, David Ryan (3-time USIC champ), Dan Zanger (18,000% return legend), and Mark Ritchie II.
Most powerful part? They use different tactics but share the same principles.

⸻
📘 6. The Rule – Larry Hite
Born with physical disabilities, Larry Hite changed his life through rules.
Key takeaway: Don’t rely on predictions — rely on systems.
Great for anyone feeling lost or overwhelmed by the market.

⸻
📘 7. The Battle for Investment Survival – Gerald Loeb
One of O’Neil’s early mentors.
Focuses on capital preservation and avoiding large losses.
After reading this, you’ll understand why O’Neil obsessed over sell rules.

⸻
📘 8. How I Made $2,000,000 in the Stock Market – Nicolas Darvas
A professional dancer who built a trading system (box theory) and traveled the world using telegrams to trade.
Main lesson: Systems > timing.

📘 9. Stan Weinstein’s Secrets for Profiting in Bull and Bear Markets
The origin of the 4-stage market cycle:
Accumulation → Uptrend → Distribution → Downtrend
Still used today and overlaps with Howard Marks’ and Wyckoff’s frameworks.
Essential for trend investors.
CN version:《多空操作秘笈》
⸻
📘 10. John Boik’s “Monster Stock” Series
3 books analyzing legendary superstocks and their shared characteristics.
If you love data, patterns, and structure, this series is a goldmine.
CN version:《猛兽股》《传奇交易者如何赚得亿万》《华尔街操盘高手》
⸻
📘 Bonus: Market Wizards Series
These need no intro — and every re-read gives new insights.
Different strategies, one common theme:
risk control, system focus, and continuous learning.
⸻
Final Thoughts:
Everything I teach in my course — from my strategies to my mindset — is rooted in these timeless books.
I’ve taken the essence, internalized it, tested it in real trades, and turned it into a system I can share with you.
I believe in this:
Reading shortens your trial-and-error time.
Learning from others can help you avoid 10 years of mistakes.
That’s exactly what my Growth Trend Trading Course is built for.
From CANSLIM to trend systems, risk control to chart structure —
You don’t have to finish 30 books page by page.
Follow the right system, and you’ll absorb decades of insights from legends.
