He presents criteria for superior trades that can be profitable in the broadest range of economic scenarios, every chapter leading you a step closer to mastery. For aspiring and experienced investors, this second edition of The Next Perfect Trade is a practical guide for elevating your position in the world of investment.

Praise

“There is nothing more powerful than learning from someone else's success and failures, and learning from Alex's deep experience is a gift for anyone serious about investing. The first edition of this book offered a rigorous intellectual approach to maximizing profits via optimal trade construction. The second edition builds on this by reviewing how this approach has been working over the decade since the book was published.”

“Trading requires a clear set of guiding principles and resilience to unexpected shifts in macro markets. It also requires constant reflection and iterating trading strategies as markets evolve. The updated edition of The Next Perfect Trade does just that: it refreshes Alex Gurevich's core trading principles and maps them onto the dramatic shifts in macro markets that have occurred in the last 10 years. It is rare for seasoned traders to share their trading strategies and even rarer to share their evolution. I highly recommend Alex's book to anyone interested in trading macro markets.”
