The bad:
This book is not clearly written and could have been much thinner, although it is only 200 pages all included.
In the chapter "choosing the right dealer", the author first talks about 5 pips being a normal spread for liquid pairs, and that only European dealers should be trusted. Finally, at the end of the chapter in a paragraph untitled "recent industry developments", he states that spreads has become lower, that in the US, there are dealers that are OK, etc... Well, this looks like recycling of old writings with a small update at the end, doesn'it?
The author seems very proud of his way of trading and techniques, that he considers new. He may not have read the recent (back 20 years) literature on the subject. Indeed, all the techniques are derived from existing things. The daily range is typically used to gauge the possible extent of an intraday move. Breakouts from base, channels, trendline etc. have also been known for ages. False breakout are also known as springs or upthrusts. A variation of the open range breakout is also shown.
Even the concept of discretionary trading with mechanical setups is not new. It is the equivalent of having a plan.
The author states that he has made a major discovery: that trendlines will eventually be broken, or something like that... a little bit funny. This kind of style reminded me of a person who names everything TD something!
He speaks about probabilities a lot but does not give any numbers (high, low only) and does not state if he used a scientific method to draw his conclusions about these probabilities.
The good:
Nervertheless, the book contains very good information about how a pro trader could trade, although nothing is new (well, it depends on the books one reads of course!)
Beginners will gain a lot by reading this book.
I liked the organization of the templates, even though the techniques listed are not new.
It is a pity that it is not clearly and well written.
