1.0 out of 5 stars A total waste of money, August 15, 2000

This review is from: The Best of the Professional Traders Journal: Day Trading (Paperback)

Of the two dozen or so books about trading and technical analysis I have purchased over the last 15 years this book offers by far the least bang for the buck. This book is brief and does not offer anything particularly impressive. In fact, most of the material in it is readily available elsewhere. It is 42 pages and approximately half of those are charts. The charts are not very useful. This book is definitely not worth $1 per page. You will be very disappointed if you purchase this book expecting anything of substance.

This review is from: The Best of the Professional Traders Journal: Day Trading (Paperback)

I have followed Larry Connors, Linda Raschke, and Jeff Cooper, and now Kevin Haggerty for a couple of years and consider the sum total of their experiences to be invaluable. Connors' give a mere glimpse of his day trading mastery in this book with a few simple strategies. I own this book and use one of the strategies (Torpedoes, actually from Jeff Cooper) from it regularly to scalp a point or two. Their columns on TradingMarkets.com are helpful also. It's like I am working right out of their trading room.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent ideas by the Master himself, May 12, 1999

I just received my copy and think the book is great! Connors shares his trade secrets that have made him successful in trading.

His style is simple and easy to apply to your daytrading, but what's even more important is that the systems are profitable.
