It is with great sadness that we have to report that Edward Allen Toppel passed away Sunday February 4th 2006.

He will be greatly missed by all that knew him.



To be a superior trader is to be a warrior

Be sure to read the praise for Zen in the Markets from traders around the world, especially the quote from Nobel Prize Winner Dr. Milton Friedman.

Like the lessons of Zen, the lessons in this book are brief, simple, and profound. They are intended as much for the person who glances at the financial pages in the evening to see how his or her investments are faring as for the full-time trader or professional money manager. Their underlying message is that you are in a contest with yourself and not
the market. Just as the lack of sense of self makes the samurai warrior a powerful and formidable opponent, it can make you successful in your trading. You will lose less. You will make greater profits. It is simple. 

The greatest warrior is one who conquers himself

This book presents a Zen approach that reveals how to listen, recognize, and obey the language that every market speaks. It is very easy to understand. It may, however, be very hard for you to do. Your ego may be very reluctant to be subdued. Practice will make it happen. Practice will make you money.

From an article in 

magazine

   Simon Brown came upon the book Zen in the Markets, by ex-trader Edward Toppel. Brown read it, embracing Toppel’s “inner game trading techniques” — the concept of the egoless trade. Something clicked. “I thought, ‘This is just so obvious,’ ” he says. “Until then, my career had been kind of like a massive roller-coaster ride.”  Read the Article.

Let the market make the decisions, not your ego

Edward Allen Toppel gives you the basic rules of successful trading with Zen. He teaches you what he calls ‘inner game trading techniques.’ He even shows you haiku for traders. Like the classic Zen in the Art of Archery, this small book contains life-changing ideas. Illuminating, exciting, and challenging, it can keep you on the right side of the balance sheet: a samurai in the markets.

Reminiscences of a Stock Operator
(The Jesse Livermore Story)

This book had a major influence on my trading and was one of the inspirations for writing Zen in the Markets. It is considered one of the all time classics. Reminiscences of a Stock Operator is the thinly disguised biography of Jesse Livermore, a remarkable character who first started speculating in New England bucket shops at the turn of the century. Livermore, who was banned from these shady operations because of his winning ways, soon moved to Wall Street where he made and lost his fortune several times over. What makes this book so valuable are the observations that Lefèvre records about investing, speculating, and the nature of the market itself. Just $16.95.  Click here to order.
