3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting but not what I expected, October 25, 2008

The presenter has mastered the art of using 20 minutes to present what would take an avergae person a maximum of two minutes to tell. The concept is intriguing, but spotting the winning pattern is like sifting for a needle in a hay stack, unless you purchase additonal software to automate the search process. Even then, the odds are not always on your side. I reviewed some historical charts and found many instances where one could have made the wrong decision following this system.
To sum up, the entire strategy is based on watching for uptrending stocks that are experiencing three or more days of selling followed by one day of ostensible reversal before you swoop in and ride it back to the next local peak.
Try this strategy on paper first, espcially if you are retired with plenty of time to kill and some money to risk.

1.0 out of 5 stars Dissapointed, April 28, 2010

I was dissapointed to say the least with the book and DVD. This book is nothing more than just a section of The Master Trader. It gets to be fustrating when you read multiple books from authors who dont introduce any new techniques from their last book, but rather find a way to say the same things differently in order to try and turn a profit. Save your money and purchase the Master Trader which I thought was a good book despite some negative reviews. Also, the DVD included in this book is nothing more than Oliver Velez reciting what he has wrote in the book almost word for word. I watched the DVD and then read the short book with one trading technique, and was astonished that he memorized his entire book and offered nothing new in the seminar.

This review is from: Swing Trading with Oliver Velez Course Book (Trade Secrets Course Books) (Paperback)

There are studies that say that between 92 and 98% of all people entering the trading industry quit before the year is over. Why? Because they are looking for some sort of "all knowing indicator(s), or oscillator(s), or a trading software package that will say, precisely, if a trade is good or bad. You must commit yourself to studying and mastering your ignorance to become intelligent in the industry of the stock market. Oliver Velez teaches you the principals and fundamentals of swing trading, the behaviors of the market, and the mindset one needs to be a successful trader.

This book, Swing Trading, cuts away the fluff and wasted verbiage and gets to the heart of the mater; that of being a successful trader in the stock market. This book provided clarity and understanding of what Swing Trading offers as a style of trading. It is an excellent home study book/CD course that would provide a firm footing on the subject matter of Swing Trading. This book should not be the end-all book but would be an excellent addition to one's library for continued growth and development as a self-directed trader.
