Reminiscences of a Stock Operator is a 1923 roman à clef by American author Edwin Lefèvre. It is told in the first person by a character inspired by the life of stock trader Jesse Livermore up to that point. In December 2009, Wiley published an annotated edition in hardcover. That edition is the one that bridges the gap between Lefèvre's fictionalized account, and the actual people and places referred to in the book.

1910-1920
Livermore was a stock trader on the New York Stock Exchange, where he went boom and bust several times using high leverage.
