Good book, worth owning and reading. I've seen Gerry speak, and he's a "valid" voice in Technical Analysis and the markets, where there aren't all that many. No holy grail here, but there isn't one anywhere. There is good technical information in the book, despite it's "hokey" looking title. I was skeptical when I bought the book (I've read over 120 on markets so far, have 60 more on the floor, and another 200 on the AMZN wish list), but was PLEASANTLY surprised during the read.

Having read over 100 books on the stock market, I would say that there are two types of investing books: those that are priceless and those that are worthless. Most of them belong in the latter category.

Winning Market Systems is priceless! I bought it long before computers came into their own and we were drawing charts by hand or waiting for the mailman to deliver updated charts in the mail.

Appels ideas on technical analysis worked "back in the day" and they work now. The best thing I can say about the book is that I have made a lot of money using Appel's techniques.

If you take the time to learn the material and there is a lot to learn, you will be rewarded.

This book is as relevant today as it was when published in 1973 and should be in the library of every trader.
