I generally do not write reviews, however I found the strategies in this book so beneficial for any serious trader (or serious trader-to-be) that I felt compelled to add my two cents.

The concepts presented in the Trading Guide are elegant, simple yet profound. The author points out there's no `Holy Grail', however I have already used his SNI and Voice from the Tomb for successful trades, and his `Breakthrough Strategy' in my experience identifies the major trends more often than not.

In response to `Old Fashioned' I felt this review unfair in that the moving average explanation was tucked not in the body of the book but in the Appendix with this section specifically targeted for novices not familiar with how these work (and I do not see where he talks about calculating by hand?) Don't let this one review put you off as the body of the book presents many old and new useful concepts some I have not seen before in my many years of trading.

An excellent and essential trading book for anyone trading or thinking of trading commodity futures.

Great info. Essential reading, for every serious trader. Many books have
been written over the years fully validating trend following (more like riding)
but yours, shows readers How to - select and then actually trade a trend,
using simple, easy to see and reliable patterns.

Congratulations. You have provided a great gift to investors and traders -
a basis for success, to those who truly want it. An excellent book.

Mr. Kleinman,

Thanks so much for your time and generosity. This is a valuable source of info worth more than current price. A true poorman's way to gold.

Any book that gives a trader the formula for calculating moving averages in this day and age is struggling for material. Any trader who is calculating moving averages by hand or programing them in themselves has too much free time on their hands.

The book does offer one interesting trading strategy but with no statistical evidence to back it up.

It may be worth a read for some simply for the strategy. Otherwise, the book is for novices only and would be incomplete for them at that.

The book is another beginner book for trading commodity futures. It offers two very simple strategies (like always trade wheat at some fixed days). The author demonstrates that it works most of the time - but the charts presented clearly show that simple moving averages would have resulted in a better performance.
