Trading Chaos: Maximize Profits with Proven Technical Techniques (A Marketplace Book) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This book is not about chaos theory, nor trading chaos, but a trading book with the first 95 pages about trading psychology, primarily Zen and Tao based, and the rest 133 pages of a trading system that comes with "Metastock".

The Ed Ponsi Forex Playbook: Strategies and Trade Set-Ups (Wiley Trading) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I'm an Ed Ponsi fan. However, I think he may have inadvertently misled people with his choice of title and cover art.
