Fundamental Analysis and Position Trading: Evolution of a Trader
$21.68
Fundamental Analysis and Position Trading: Evolution of a Trader shifts the focus from short-term price movement to longer-horizon decision making, where valuation, business performance, and market structure interact over weeks, months, and sometimes years. In this volume of the Evolution of a Trader series, Thomas N. Bulkowski addresses a critical transition many traders face: moving from reactive trading toward patient, thesis-driven positioning.
Rather than presenting fundamental analysis as an academic exercise, Bulkowski frames it as a risk-filtering and expectation-setting tool. The book explains how earnings, growth, balance-sheet strength, and industry context influence long-term price behavior—and, just as importantly, how markets can remain irrational longer than a trader expects. Fundamental inputs are therefore treated as probability shapers, not timing signals.
A core theme of the book is position trading discipline. Bulkowski explores how holding periods change the nature of risk, how drawdowns must be planned for differently than in short-term trading, and why position traders must think in terms of scenarios rather than single outcomes. Topics such as scaling in, partial exits, patience during consolidation, and avoiding over-monitoring are addressed from a practical, trader-centric perspective.
The book also integrates technical structure as a companion to fundamentals. Charts are used to manage entries, exits, and risk—not to override the underlying thesis. This balanced approach helps traders avoid two common extremes: purely narrative-driven investing and purely reactive technical trading.
Overall, this book is designed for traders who want to slow down, think deeper, and build trades around business logic, valuation awareness, and controlled exposure, while still respecting market behavior.

Some great info in here, this guy has done all the research on different methods to use for trading. Fundamental analysis is where I struggled the most with trading and this shows dummies like me where to look for potential winners.
Tristan Holmes (verified owner) –
I really enjoyed this introduction to key fundamental equations and their statistical importance.
After reading I felt the urge to add a few ratios to my swing trading and the importance of not just numbers but ‘the story’ left behind by these numbers and ratios.
Would buy and read again, for sure.

An excellent book, even if overpriced. Bulkowski covers many fundamental valuation indicators, and some technical charts, as well as suggesting how to pick multi-baggers. Good for DIY investors.

Writer just write what he does without explaining why.
Amaya Dixon (verified owner) –
I found this book very helpful as Bulkowski overviews popular fundamental tools and gives a new perspective on them. There is no absolute rules of course to fundamental anaylsis and Bulkowski constantly reminds the reader that. He tells you want you show look out for and what has mathematically worked and what doesn’t.

By now I have read several books by Thomas Bulkowski, and every one of them was well worth it. What I find the most appealing about his books is that he uses statistics to analyse practically everything, and when you can look at trades from a statistical perspective, you can vastly improve your trading. You might think that statistics would be boring . . . but not so . . . he really has done the work for you . . . and when you see a trade that looks like something he has mentioned in his book, and you look it up and he gives you what the average percent gain, failure rates, etc., it is far from boring, it is just plain informative, and gives you at lot of food for thought when you are considering a trade. If you have not read any of his books about chart patterns though, you probably want to do that before reading this book. This book is outstanding, in every way.
