2.0 out of 5 stars It's only a replica of Hit & Run 1, March 28, 1999

This review is from: Hit and Run Trading II: Capturing Explosive Short-Term Moves in Stocks (Hardcover)

I believe Cooper wrote this book in response to the huge demand of his first book. The techniques discussed are nothing new. They are just a reflection of the ones in Hit & Run 1. I did enjoy Hit & Run 1, however.

2.0 out of 5 stars Just a repackage of...., July 7, 2000

This review is from: Hit and Run Trading II: Capturing Explosive Short-Term Moves in Stocks (Hardcover)

Cooper's "setups" as presented in this book are really just a repackaging of various chart patterns. I believe the reader would be far better served by understanding why these setups work (when they do) rather than what they are specifically; an examination that the author chooses not to provide (after all, what do you want for 100 bucks??)

Bulkowski's book on chart patterns & Prechter's book on Elliot waves will give you a far better understanding of the market than any of the Cooper books. In fact, with an understanding of Elliot all of these patterns or setups become remarkably clear, to the point where you shouldn't need this book in the first place

5.0 out of 5 stars Money Maker from the get-go, September 26, 1998

This review is from: Hit and Run Trading II: Capturing Explosive Short-Term Moves in Stocks (Hardcover)

I started using this book after reading it and my first trade paid for 15 copies. Jeff Cooper makes day trading EASIER by revealing some interesting patterns to look for. I find 2-5 trades daily that I can see just looking at the daily list of highs and lows. I do not enter all of these trades because other technical analysis methods of review keep me out if the stock does not do what was hoped for to enter the trade.THe trades which I did get into were successful and were in stocks I would never think of following. Coopers warnings about when to enter and when to get out are valuable. I just bought another for my friend.
