5.0 out of 5 stars
Best fundamental systems building book I've seen!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The New Commodity Trading Systems and Methods (Hardcover)
Only book that covered "Island and Continent" 3-D graphs analysis (I use TradeStation 4.0's optimization results and export the results file to Excel creating a table of profits, ROA's, Max-drawdowns, ect then graph them out in multicollored 3-d graphs).No one else (to my knowledge) has emphasized the importance of looking for stablity in parameters that are used in systems analysis. I'd never trust a system unless I saw big wide continents in both Profits and Returns on Account minimum....What good is a system unless you know that that the parameter's you're using really work...that they're not out of standard deviation and surounding param's also work! This will give the user ability to see what parameter or inputs not only make profits but where the safest and stable sets of parameters exist.Give me robust systems only please. Can't wait for his new book to come out.

Good Introductory Text,

This review is from: The New Commodity Trading Systems and Methods (Hardcover)
This book is a rigorous introduction on various technical analysis concepts. It does not waste the readers' time on unnecessary formalization like many college text books. Most of the information provided in the book are equally applicable to stocks, indices, etc. not just commodities as the name of the book suggests.
Topics covered - basic charting, standard indicator calculations, to concepts like trading system design and comparison. Information on each topic are rich and in detail. Some college mathematics background is needed if you would like to understand the details of the calculations and analysis. One weakness in the book is that very little time is spent on intraday data analysis. It makes perfect sense because the original edition was written well before intraday trading (include daytrading) enters the mainstream media. In summary, this book is very well written and is a must read for traders who are interested in learning what technical analysis is all about.
