5.0 out of 5 stars Take your swing trading to the next level, January 26, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Dave Landry's 10 Best Swing Trading Patterns and Strategies (Paperback)

Dave Landry's first book, "Dave Landry on Swing Trading", is the bible of swing trading. I honestly learned how to swing trade confidently in that easy-to-read book.

Dave Landry's "10 Best Swing Trading Patterns and Strategies" goes more in-depth on specific swing trading patterns. Landry truly simplifies his strategies that I understood everything within an evening read. I was able to scan for stocks and use these strategies the evening I read this book. These strategies have been consistent at finding profitable trades in the 2 to 5 day range.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good strategies, March 2, 2005

This review is from: Dave Landry's 10 Best Swing Trading Patterns and Strategies (Paperback)

For beginning traders there's a lot of information out there. There are dozens of patterns, oscillators, and indicators; at first each one seems like it's going to be great, but after a few losing trades, a person gets confused about how to proceed and just what indicators to use.

The great thing about this book is the emphasis on STRATEGIES -- this approach places indicators and oscillators in their proper role as tools that are subservient to strategy. As a beginning technical trader faced with a bewildering minefield of tools, it wasn't until I started using these strategies that I started making some money in the uncertain market we are currently in.

The book does seem somewhat thin -- the text and figures are LARGE, as if trying to take up more space. There could have been a bit more background and info provided, I suppose. I also don't understand why the man won't use candlesticks, which I find much more intuitive than bars. But in the main I've found it very helpful.

1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible Waste of Money!, May 28, 2006

This review is from: Dave Landry's 10 Best Swing Trading Patterns and Strategies (Paperback)

I bought this book because of the rave reviews it received here, so I am writing this to let others know they should not be deceived as I was. If this book cost $10 I MIGHT say it was worth the money, but essentially it was 170 pages of large print and screen shots, all illustrating examples of one strategy (not 10), which can be boiled down to:
1) Trade with the trend.
2) Enter following a pullback after resumption of the trend.
