4.0 out of 5 stars This is not a book on strategy, August 14, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Outer Game of Trading: Modeling the Trading Strategies of Today's Market Wizard (Hardcover)

I know that Howard Abell is a very capable trader. However, you do not need to purchase all of his books due to the great deal of redundancy present in his writings. The title of this book is misleading. If you are looking for specific strategies or new ideas forget about it. I am not saying one needs to have a new idea in order to make money in the markets; what I am saying merely is that this book is more a pyschological treatise on the aspects of trading than one on methodologies. Out of all of his books this is the only title I can recommend. The Inner Game of trading is also good. But thats about all you need.

2.0 out of 5 stars As bad as it's predecessor, February 20, 2002

To be honest, I borrowed this book from a public library because the bad experience from its precedessor The Innergame of Trading had deterred me from wasting my hard earned money on this.

For detailed review please see my review of the Innergame of Trading because the two books are so similar, of very low value and repeating the same basic trading psychology stuff like a successful trader got to have discipline, focus, bravery to cut loss short and let profit ride blah blah blah, except that the interview part in Outer is about 100 page longer than that in Inner. (160 vs 60) However, the quality of the interview content is even lower.

I really cannot agree what the authors claimed on the book cover that their book helped the readers to model the trading strategies of Today's Market Wizards. How? Just by going through the lines of the interview. I am afraid that's more diffcult than achieving a 6 month winning streak.
