Book Description

Publication Date: May 19, 2009

In this book you will be taught the most important subjects of technical analysis and only all that is needed for you to know in order to understand how a stock, a market etc. move. Then I will present to you my trading system. I will explain to you, step by step, all my trades with graph display. You will be given specific rules of the system and you will know exactly when to enter and exit the market but also when to stay aside. The rules are so simple that even a kid can follow. Stock trading is inherently risky and you agree to assume complete and full responsibility for the outcomes of all trading decisions that you make, including but not limited to loss of capital. You agree that you trade solely at your own risk and investment/trading decisions are solely your responsibility. Past performance and/or previously tested results are not necessarily an indication of future performance.

About the Author

My name is Panayiotis Markou and I am a professional trader of the future markets. By saying professional trader, I mean that my job is to trade the futures from my house in order to make a living. My father has been trading the futures since I was a child. I remember myself asking him questions all the time about the stock market but he would not answer all of them. He would quote the very common phrase: if you have a friend, give him a fish, but if you really love him, teach him to fish on his own. So, he gave me books to study in order to learn, on my own, how to trade. Of course, later, when I was old enough and he could trust me, he taught me all he knew, and, of course, his system, which was fantastic. By the time I had learned his system I was feeling like the ruler of the world. I immediately started trading and making my own money. It was a very nice feeling as I remember. Over the years I have perfected my father's system by altering a few parameters. As a student in high school, I was very bad and I think the worst in all six classes. I was only good in mathematics during the last two years of school, and by studying a little harder I managed to enter the University of Economics in Athens. Do not think that I was a good student at university either. I passed all the exams by cheating. I cannot remember a lesson in which I did not cheat to pass it. During 'studies' at university, I attended many technical analysis and fundamental analysis seminars and I read many books concerning these two subjects. Fundamental and technical analysis are the two ways that one can 'play' in the stock market. I was a fan of technical analysis from the beginning and my final conclusion is that technical analysis is the best investment tool for the stock market. After having studied the first two chapters which are only an introduction to technical analysis, I will teach you to 'fish your own fish' as my father taught me. I will present the rules of his successful trading system with the changes I have made and I will show you in reality how simple these rules are, even for a child to follow. We will trade the s&p 500 step by step from 1983 to 2009 with graph display. Each trade will be explained and in the end you will see how simple it is. When you know the rules of my trading system, you will only have to look at the chart for a moment to make your decision: go short or go long that is the question, buy or sell. But never use money that you are in need of.

1.0 out of 5 stars Winning trading system? No - poorly written book., December 26, 2009

This review is from: A winning trading system on the futures of the s&p 500 index since 1980 - easy rules that even a kid: Learn how to make 26.000$ every year with the small capital of $1.000. Imagine if you use $10.000 (Paperback)

Recently purchased this book from Amazon, and read it in one day. The book contains a number of graphs and other similar graphics, each of which are very pixelated and poor quality - so poor that some are very difficult to read. Appears that the author use low-quality screen-caps and then stretched the images to fit, failing to constrain the aspect ratio. The book itself appears to have been written by someone who speaks English as a second language - there are quite a number of grammatical errors which should have been picked up at the edit stage of publication, but haven't. The material of the book is, in my eyes, poor quality. There's no real trading system described per-se. The author simply covers chart trends, and appears to theoretically apply some of these trends to historic S&500 data. I feel that this book deserves the lowest possible rating. There are, in my opinion, considerably better books out there.
