5.0 out of 5 stars Highly Recommended Swing Trading Guide, November 20, 2003
By 
L. Masonson (Monroe, New York USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
David Nassar and William Lupien have written another detailed and high-quality book on trading. I reviewed their last book on AMAZON entitled "Rules of the Trade" in March 2001. This book focuses specifically on swing trading (trading for a few days to weeks), as opposed to day trading. Nassar is not only an accomplished and profitable trader and teacher, but also an outstanding public speaker. If you expect to make money trading, then pay attention to what Nassar has to say. His books are always packed with useful information that can be applied to typical trading situations.

This book offers readers a solid resource on understanding the markets, how to understand themselves, and how to swing trade using various strategies. This 339-page trading guide is comprised of sixteen chapters, an appendix with interviews of the co-founders of Townsend Analytics, Ltd., a three-page bibliography, and a comprehensive index.

The book is divided into two major sections. The first five chapters cover "Psychology and Patterns". And the second section contains ten sections covering "Methods and Tactics".

The authors begin their journey by delving into the psychology- - personal and market--behind the market's movements and what information they use to find investing opportunities. Then they explain the difference between trading and investing, and explain cyclical markets and momentum trends. Also addressed are the random walk theory, elasticity trading (based on recent pre-established price levels), managing uncertainty, elasticity rules, and tactics and tips.

An entire chapter is devoted to "Market Symmetry" which are specific harmonious market patterns. The four stages of the business cycle (contraction, trough, expansion, and peak) are compared to the stock market's four stages (accumulation, markup, distribution, and decline). Fibonacci levels are explained in the context of finding price patterns. Numerous charts illustrate all the points being made.

Technical analysis is briefly reviewed in a separate chapter. Here there is a discussion of accumulation and distribution, support and resistance, daily, hourly and ten-minute charts, trends, volume, and moving averages. Plentiful graphic examples are provided to bring home the concepts.

Section two is the heart of the book and contains strategies, as well as the actual techniques that the authors currently use and teach others to swing trade the markets. Favorite indicators explained with charts include: RSI, TRIN, Directional Movement, true range, ADX, and stochastics with divergences.

Moving averages are described in detail in a separate chapter. Topics covered include simple moving averages, moving average crossovers, stops, and MACD. Other chapter cover momentum trading, use of Level II screens, reading the tape, trading volatility, rules and strategies for NYSE stocks, trading financial futures, systems and pair trading, seasonal trading and tax loss selling, and risk management strategies.

Those individuals who plan to swing trade should read this solid addition to the trading literature before risking a penny of their money.

2.0 out of 5 stars Much below the standard set by their previous book, May 24, 2004
I rated the authors' previous book "Rule of the trade" with four stars and wrote the title of my review on Amazon as "Concise but covers +95% of rules I need to bear in mind". However, I had been very disappointed by this new one.

The authors are definitely gurus in trading and trading psychology. Nevertheless, their explanation of TA tools are extremely clumsy and disorganised, in particular the sections on Stochastics and MACD. That made me very frustrated because over half of the book was about TA from which I really could not get any significant benefit from reading it. Those regarding system trading, trading strategies etc are badly written as well. I just cannot recall and apply what I had read into my daily trading practice. There's not a holistic and organised picture about trading, and not to mention swing trading (a term you surprisingly scarce in a book with a title "for swing trading") at all.

In a word, a sub-standard trading book not to be recommended.

1.0 out of 5 stars It's only advertisement, October 9, 2004
By 
Jagui (Roma, RM Italy) - See all my reviews
I read many books and some of them are very interesting and some other are poor. I bought this book with a positive expectaction due to the well-known success of the authors, but I was disappointed.

From the first to the last page the entire book tries to sell the RealTick platform. It seems to me the only reason this book had been written.

The authors treat the reader like a dumb-stupid-idiot with statement like this: "why calculate rsi by hand if RealTick do the math for you?", or "fortunately the RealTick platform can calculate MACD". Every software package can do these things.

I suspect that the methods explained in the book, are poorly explained to leave the (ignorant) reader unsatisfied and with an urge to buy the RealTick platform...

If you are an idiot buy this book and the RealTick platform :-)
