Since this book is written by someone who has reviewed hundreds (if not thousands) of trading systems, this book contains a lot of good, solid ideas about developing and trading robust trading systems. The fact that the author includes programming code for five core systems is a definite plus as well. For these reasons, I recommend this book to anyone seeking to develop and trading mechanical trading systems. You will definitely get your money's worth.
That being said, the writing in this book is bad and looks like it was slapped together. The discussion of a particular trading concept will shift from anecdote to statistic to general rule without rhyme or reason. There are a lot of typos, and some of the performance tables contain obvious errors (for example, the net profit divided by the number of trades doesn't come anywhere near to the average profit per trade). At one point, the authors say that they include the code for one of the systems discussed, and then don't include it. What the heck is going on? It's unforced errors like these which make me give it only three stars. And, of course, the goofy title.
You will find many gems from reading this book, but you'll have to sift through a lot of errors and bad writing in order to get to them.
Price action in all its forms. Prepare to be amazed at how fundamental these principles are to giving you every confidence in trading simply and accurately.
I would normally give this only 4 stars but people have been giving Mike Covells poor book on trend following 5 stars (I would give it 1) so Hill gets 5. This is a good review of a range of approaches to the market. It also gives you (free) a number of workable systems that you would pay a lot for elsewhere. If you email them with questions they will also answer. Their work on Commoditity Channel Index is limited but so what. I use CCI possibly in the same way that Howdy does but I dont find that missing one (of so many) ways to make or lose money in the markets is much of an issue. There are lots of great strategies in here ... look up Woodies Club on the net if you want a CCI based one as well. Good book John.
