“La matematica di chi perde”: 394 pages, Italian edition, available.

La matematica di chi perde
A great deal gets published about trading, and almost no one hands you the means to verify it. This book does the opposite.
The received wisdom about trading, tested with statistics and code anyone can re-run. It does not say what to do in the markets: it teaches how to check what is said about them.

Volume III · The theory The Mechanism
