Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)read several times. at first was very excited as here is someone who has walked the walked, however, if your looking for answers, you won't find here. I've read over and over trying to bring sense to how author trades or insights to use. First, he ONLY trades Funds at this point(present), so those who say he trades futures, options, etc., haven't fully digested the book.
Author goes to length to explain an Indicator then several pages later will tell you he finds the indictor doesn't perform any more! Well what does? he spends a lot of time discussing his evolvement as a trader over 19 years!!
Lots of talk of momentum and late day reversals, which are suppose to be strong bullish indicators. These don't seem to work as evidenced by 12/6's strong momentum and no follow thru the next day! Also for intra-day trading which I've found to be brutal, unless you enjoy staring at your monitor for 8 hours a day! I've also heard over and over that the Big money is in trading short term (3-10 days) or long term, not intra-day.
He does spend time discussing how he USE to trade index futures and some of the patterns he used. However, these too were confusing and contradictory. Ex. "My original price patterns continue to work for me, but only because I filter my trades with the action of the tape."
What does that mean?
I found books by William O'Neil much more clear and consise.
good luck
