"Secrets of Short-Term and Long-Term Investment" is the first Korean translation of Larry Williams, who is considered the greatest trader in investment history.
Larry Williams won the 1987 World Futures Trading World Cup by turning $10,000 into $1.1 million, a record that still stands.
His daughter, actress Michelle Williams, also won the World Futures Trading World Cup when she was just 17.
Her teacher was none other than her father, Larry Williams.
In addition, he created several indicators favored by technical investors, such as 'Williams %R'.

"Secrets of Short-Term and Long-Term Investment" can be said to be a book containing Larry Williams' 50-year trading secrets.
It covers in detail not only trading techniques such as volatility breakouts and profit patterns, but also how the market moves, major market cycles, indicators and analysis methods developed by the author, when to buy and when to liquidate trades, and how to minimize losses.
In addition, you can get a glimpse into his trading mindset as well as his past trading experience through articles written based on past issues of his market information magazine [Commodity Timing], and there are also a considerable number of articles offering advice to investors, such as how to break bad habits and trading strategies.

Author Kang Hwan-guk, who wrote the book's recommendation, said, "For successful investment, knowing when to buy and sell, how much to bet, and how to manage risk are much more important.
And these techniques can only be learned from great traders like Larry Williams,” he said.
If you follow the author's advice in this book, you will be well on your way to becoming a successful trader.

Into the book
Based on my research and experience, I have developed a strong belief system that helps me.
I believe that this trade will result in a loss, and a very large loss at that (because I judged that the belief in a profit is more likely to lead to a negative outcome).
This belief is my most important prayer regarding the market.
Profitable trades can be managed in any way, but lossable trades cannot.
It goes without saying that it is not ‘profit’ but ‘loss’ that ruins a trader.
--- p.20

There is one fact that must be engraved here.
The point is that all profits come from trends.
No trend, no profit.
Trends are a function of time.
Therefore, the longer the time invested in trading, the greater the range of trend fluctuations that can be captured.
Given this relationship, short-term traders are at a clear disadvantage in terms of time.
Time is their 'enemy'.
They must exit the market at the end of the day, and there are limits to the range of trend fluctuations they can utilize.
For position traders, time is their friend, not their enemy, and they know that this is where they can profit.
--- p.104

Which came first, the chicken or the egg? Similarly, which came first, the buyer or the seller? This is the ultimate Zen question speculators must answer.
As long as there are buyers willing to buy the stock or futures contracts held by the seller, the price will not move much.
Isn't this how mutual price equilibrium is achieved? In an ideal world where everything is perfect, this kind of price equilibrium would be possible, but the real world is imperfect, and trading is largely determined by luck.
As you can see from the daily newspapers or the market information provided by your broker, prices in the real world fluctuate rapidly.
The reason for price fluctuations is not the quantity of stocks or futures contracts being bought and sold.
The amounts will eventually balance out.
The cause of price fluctuations must be sought in some form or other in the absence or gap created on the part of the seller or one of the sellers.
--- p.247

Like many professional athletes, there is another thing that martial artists do.
By watching the video footage of the previous game, you meticulously review and analyze not only your own movements but also your opponent's movements.
The same goes for trading.
It is very helpful to look back at the results of past trades and examine past market trends.
But there aren't many people who do this.
Perhaps it's because review work isn't something that traders naturally enjoy, something that gives them a thrill or an excitement.
However, it is clear that part of my success in trading stems from my diligent analysis of the market and careful review of past data.
I also believe that my failed trading experiences will serve as useful learning tools for you.
--- p.321

In this book, I have shared with you almost everything I know about the market, as well as my life experiences.
This book is a trading textbook for me, but it may not be for you.
Therefore, you need to find the part of the content I introduced that suits you and put it into practice.
Don't blindly follow what I say, but refine it yourself and come up with better concepts and new approaches.
You can consider what I have introduced here as basic trading knowledge.

Publisher's Review
A book containing Larry Williams' 50-year trading secrets!
The secret to her daughter, actress Michelle Williams, winning an investment competition!

I would like to talk about the achievements of Larry Williams, one of the greatest traders in investment history, through the words of author Kang Hwan-guk.

√ In 1987, Larry Williams won the World Futures Trading World Cup, turning $10,000 into $1.1 million(!).
His record has never been broken since.
√ In 1997, he coached his 17-year-old daughter, Michelle Williams, and helped her win the World Futures Trading World Cup.
Michelle later became a top-tier actress, winning a Golden Globe.
√ Successfully completed the 'Larry Williams One Million Dollar Challenge', earning $1 million by simultaneously conducting live lectures and real-time trading.
√ He created several indicators favored by technical investors, including 'Williams %R'.

Author Kang Hwan-guk said, "For successful investment, it is much more important to know when to buy and sell, how much to bet, and how to manage risk.
And these techniques can only be learned from great traders like Larry Williams,' he said.
Therefore, I would like to borrow the words of author Kang Hwan-guk once more.
“Are you ready to hear from Larry Williams now?”

Market Cycles and the Optimal Timing for Buying


Larry Williams started investing in stocks in 1962 and this book was published in 2011, so he has been investing in stocks for 50 years.
Except for 1978 and 1981—when he ran for the U.S. Senate—he devoted himself to stocks almost every day.
Meanwhile, the Internet emerged and trading systems changed as HTS became available, but Larry Williams says the stock market is still difficult and challenging, while the rules of trading haven't changed much from the past to the present.

This book, "Secrets of Short-Term and Long-Term Investment," contains Larry Williams' 50-year trading secrets that have consistently generated profits even after experiencing that transitional period.
The book covers both short-term and long-term trading.

The point of the book is in the market.
The logic is that if you go with the flow of the market, you will make a profit, and if you go against it, you will incur a loss.
Building on this logic, the author presents, in order, volatility breakouts, profit patterns, market movements, major market cycles, when to liquidate trades, and how to minimize losses.
In the process, it also destroys many common sense principles of the stock market.


√ “I believe that this trade will result in a loss, and a very large loss (because I judged that the belief in a profit is more likely to lead to a negative outcome).”
√ “If possible, choose the negative belief.
In short, believe that there is a greater chance of loss in this trade.
Then, you can protect yourself by cutting your losses at the appropriate time.”
√ “Too many trades and too many contracts can be a deadly poison that will crush a trader.”
√ “Beginner traders seem to want a foolproof formula or indicator that they can use now and in the future.
There is certainly valuable market-related information and trend indicators available.
But honestly, if it were me, I would throw away those formulas and indicators and instead embrace ‘wisdom.’
√ “Want to make a lot of money? Then learn to wait.”

In particular, the chapter we should focus on learning is Chapter 13.
The author himself said, “This is the most important part of the book, the most important part of my life, and the most valuable information I can share with you,” and Kang Hwan-guk, who wrote the recommendation for the book, recommended that those new to investing or trading start reading from Chapter 13.


The stock market is a challenging yet fascinating world.
This revised edition, written based on the original text, aims to help anyone drawn to the allure of investing better understand trading and achieve their dreams.
The author's proven indicators and analyses here will provide considerable interest to investors studying trading.
Chapters 14 and 16, which offer advice to readers by linking it to the content of his market information magazine, Commodity Timing, clearly demonstrate why he published this book.
“In this book, I have shared with you almost everything I know about the market, as well as my life experiences.
This book is a trading textbook for me, but it may not be for you.
Therefore, you need to find the part of the content I introduced that suits you and put it into practice.
“Don’t blindly follow what I say, but refine it yourself and create better concepts and new approaches.” If readers of this book follow the author’s advice, they will surely become successful traders.
