System Traders Only
This book describes trading systems and I'm very happy to have found it. I have been trading futures for about a year now by the seat of my pants. I realized that it is extremely important to have a system to give you the necessary indicators to buy and sell, but none of the literature I've read up to this point described the system in enough detail to actually put it to...

Mediocre / unorganized
If you consider 10-day, 20-day and 40-day Donchian channel breakouts as 3 "different" systems, then yes, this book offers ~80 "different" systems. What peeved me was the fact that there were only 30 or so unique systems in the book. The other 50 were variations on the same theme.

What peeved me was the fact that there were only 30 or so unique systems in the book. The other 50 were variations on the same theme. Half the book deals with various sorts of funky moving averages... not interesting, and not very useful. Also, the readability is extremely poor. It's a good buy at $15, but definitely not worth $50.

It depends what your looking for.,

This review is from: Technical Trading Systems for Commodities and Stocks (Hardcover)
The book gives the formulas for over 70 trading systems to be put into your computer. If that is what you are looking for then the book is great. Myself,I was looking for more how to stuff then math formulas of trading systems. I wanted to know how the systems worked and to have an explaination for them. The book does not do this. Again it gives you the formulas for some trading systems. For me that was way over my head considering I dont have a clue in how to program that stuff into my computer. So again it depends what your looking for.

This review is from: Technical Trading Systems for Commodities and Stocks (Hardcover)
This book describes trading systems and I'm very happy to have found it. I have been trading futures for about a year now by the seat of my pants. I realized that it is extremely important to have a system to give you the necessary indicators to buy and sell, but none of the literature I've read up to this point described the system in enough detail to actually put it to use. I've read many futures trading books that describe money management, risk management, the importance of having a trading plan and system, but they never went into enough detail about specific systems. This book is a how-to book on trading systems. I'll admit there are only several main trading systems described with different "twists" to them, but if you are looking for the details regarding the main trading systems in use today this book is for you. This book contains the recipes required to implement a trading system.
