About this listen

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. An important contribution to trading literature, the book will help all traders by:

  • Emphasizing the development of skills that are critical to success, such as the fundamentals of One Good Trade, Reading the Tape, and finding Stocks In Play.
  • Outlining the factors that really make the difference between a consistently profitable trader and one who underperforms.
  • Sharing entertaining, hysterical, and page turning stories of traders who have excelled or failed and why, many trained by the author, with an essential trading principle wrapped inside.

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

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Essential for the modern day trader

Loved this book, so much value and wisdom.

It has helped me so much in developing myself as a trader listening to all the past experiences of Bella and the firm.

Recommend to all of the traders out there.

Good insights, easy to listen to. I applaud Kevin for his great performance on a book that maybe dry. His reading was not. Cheers.

Absolute trading trench warfare

Brilliant insights, inspiring and complete. When you think trading has your number, Mike reassure you it’s not all about trading, it’s about you. Thank you Mike for the life lessons

Great Story

Very interesting. I loved the story and while I am unlikely to become an intraday trader I still learned a lot.

Amazing read to learn the value of discipline.

I read this book expecting to learn trading fundamentals, but found an account of how discipline, learning and teaching shapes a business in one of the most competitive fields on the planet. I really liked all of the teaching and personal experiences shared in the book. I would recommend it especially to people wanting to learn more about the stock market and trading as well as teachers and life long learners.

Right up and a must read for traders and wannabees

This book is a compressed version of what every aspiring trader NEEDS to read (all traders really). It is deeply insightful in the mindset for successful trading and mechanics and many other aspects that touch on trading. He explains concepts patiently and in detail and with integrity. Its a bit like drinking from a fire hydrant of insights and I have gone through this 3 times to ensure nothing missed. And bought several copies for friend contemplating the journey. Well done Mike and thank you for making the effort and for sharing with no holes barred. 11/10.
