5.0 out of 5 stars Well worth the money !
The ideas and concepts expressed in this book are a true, real eye-opener. The basic idea is that losing trades usually go against you right from the start, while the winning trades don't.
This extremely powerful idea alone allowed me to cut my losses by up to 60% ! Thanks Mr. Sweeney !

3.0 out of 5 stars A good start but...
Warning: Read book very slowly

The idea is a sound one but requires that the reader provides a working system AND is able to backtest it. Otherwise, the reader is left with a concept that on paper makes sense but it is very hard to implement into his/her trading system.

The concept requires total concentration-while reading in order to throughly understand MAE. The idea is a sound one but requires that the reader provides a working system AND is able to backtest it. Otherwise, the reader is left with a concept that on paper makes sense but it is very hard to implement into his/her trading system.

1.0 out of 5 stars OK but not a pre-requisite, June 29, 1998

This review is from: Maximum Adverse Excursion: Analyzing Price Fluctuations for Trading Management (Wiley Trader's Exchange) (Hardcover)
The adverse excursion evaluation and exploitation does play an important role in systematic trading, however, the book later on skin-deep touches trading management and betting strategies, which in turn do not have much to do with the title of the book.
