1.0 out of 5 stars What a joke!, December 13, 2007

This review is from: Intra-Day Trading Strategies Course Book with DVD: Proven Steps to Trading Profits (Trade Secrets Course Books) (Paperback)

I can not believe someone would write a book on intra-day trading that is only 100 pages, double spaced, and with charts that are literally scribbled on. Mr. Cooper's trading strategy is based 100% on pattern recognition, he does not use indicators at all! His whole theory on when to buy a stock is to wait for the break-out! That is it! He even has cute names for everyday patterns, he calls a simple consolidation a "Cooper 1-2-3 Pullback Position." What does he think he is the first person to ever realize a consolidation during an up-trend is a great time to buy???

I was planning on buying his other Hit and Run Trading book, but I think I'll pass.

I did learn something from reading this book, I could actually write my own book on trading. Sure, I know what a trend line is and I know a low-risk trade is to buy the break-out. Well, that is what Mr. Cooper must of thought when he got the idea to write this book.

Not good at all. Bad writing, so boring to read. The name intra-day trading does not fit as he does not talk much about intra-day trading. Save your money, when I ordered this book from Amazon there weren't any reviews which was unfortunate. Plus after each chapter there are questions but you have to go to a website and register (so they could sell you other books) to find the answers. I thought that was disturbing after paying for the book.

Well, as David Nassar said: "The market's simplicity is it's greatest disguise". I saw the negative reviews here and suspect some people don't see the logic behind trade setups from people like Oliver Velez, Tony Oz, Jeff Cooper, Dave Landry, Josh Lukeman or John Carter. In the book "Profit Strategies: Unlocking Trading Performance with Money Management" David Stendahl describes how he tested systems by adding more money to losing trades (drawdown support) and winning trades (pyramiding). I thought these were very interesting ideas to improve trading performance but was faced with the problem of determining how and when I would do the drawdown support and pyramiding. Then I wondered what would happen if I could take an uptrend for example and divide it in sections that I could trade individually. How would I trade each section of an uptrend? Then I discovered the whole world of trade setups by the people I just mentioned. These kinds of books I find are absolutely essential in solving that problem. I'd also like to mention that Oliver Velez has a new book (Power Trading:...) that comes with a DVD as well that describes trading styles for 3 different time periods.
