Trade Stocks and Commodities with the Insiders. Secrets of the COT Report – Larry Williams

“The way that Big Money got to be Big Money was by also being the ‘Smart Money’, and so it is worth paying attention to how the Big Money traders behave. That’s the essence of what Larry Williams has to teach us in this book. And it’s not just what the Smart Money says or thinks, but how they behave in terms of their trading that we should pay attention to. Larry shows us how to listen to that message.”
—Tom McClellan, Editor of The McClellan Market Report

“Finally, an insider’s take on what really goes on behind the scenes in commodity trading. Larry writes his view of trading, as only he knows it, from his twenty-five years of experience.”
—James Altucher, author of Trade Like a Hedge Fund
