This book reveals a host of proven strategies to trade the stock, futures and options markets. Simple and easy to use, the strategies are designed to take advantage of the herd mentality of the financial markets and the tendency of the majority of investors to panic at certain identifiable moments. All of the indicators revealed in the book are based on what actually happens in the markets - not on an abstract, difficult-to-apply theory. Moreover, each strategy is fully explained and includes many concrete examples. Clear, hard-headed and realistic, this is superb book for traders and investor who are seeking proven methods for beating markets. Highlights included are: proprietary market indicators revealed for the first time; new short-term trading patterns and indicators; profitable trading strategies using globex and other night-trading markets; and putting together a profitable trading plan.

Awful,
By A Customer
This review is from: Investment Secrets of a Hedge Fund Manager: Exploiting the Herd Mentality of the Financial Markets (Hardcover)
This book was horrible. It provides some insight into short term technical trading, but otherwise save your money. It is a 200+ page book that could have been put together in 30 pages. It is extremely repititious and a waste of time. It will take a certain trading strategy and display it over and over again with no variations, just different instances.

Impressive, though mistitled, book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Investment Secrets of a Hedge Fund Manager: Exploiting the Herd Mentality of the Financial Markets (Hardcover)
This is an outstanding book on short to intermediate-term trading in the stock, stock index, and futures markets. The authors' approach is countertrend: even though I am more comfortable with following the trend, the authors make a good case for a sound countertrend strategy. They recommend, for instance, rigorously placing sensible stops. This book, in general, is applicable to more than just hedge fund managers, for the advice Connors and Hayward give is based on detailed research and backtesting. I would argue, though, that some of their approaches, while sound, may not be entirely original; one of their methods particularly reminded me of something Larry Williams labelled in one of his books as his "weekly trading tool." Nevertheless, this book is a solid, clearly written, very practical tool for any technical trader. I am very pleased to add it to my own library.

Ironic butterfly,

This review is from: Investment Secrets of a Hedge Fund Manager: Exploiting the Herd Mentality of the Financial Markets (Hardcover)
1) The authors claim that their "financial survival is dependent upon successfully trading the markets" yet you should not assume that they traded any of the examples set forth in the book.2) The "secrets" revealed consume less than 20 pages with the remaining circa 180 pages being filled with charts and related examples (at least half of the book), performance summaries and trading signals (over 50 pages), and other various and sundried fluff. Thus, the book seems to be exploiting the herd mentality of those who buy books on the financial markets rather than the markets themselves. 3) What type of "secrets" are revealed here? "Investment Secrets", of course! "Investments" like futures contracts and index options. Who is revealing these "secrets"? A "Hedge Fund Manager", of course! Hey, why not? It could very well be that the revelation of hedge fund manager type secrets will produce higher profits (with much less risk) than actually trading the secrets. 4) I have a relatively high I.Q. yet I actually bought this book........Mooooooooooooooooooooooo
