in that same thought, jeff cooper's 5 day momentum method is the same type of book...

i do like street smarts, and advanced trading strategies. not beacuse of the specific strategies, but because they presented many ideas and taught me to think outside the box.

C'mon, WS, quibbling about the price and format of trading books really ought to be beneath you. $100? I spend a lot more in commissions and fees on any given day, and frequently more in slippage on a single trade. As for the books themselves, I 've found the large format amenable, and entirely appropriate both to elucidating the set-ups as well as to making them easier to recognize when encountered in "real-time."

Having no direct knowledge of the trading account histories of the TradingMarkets people, I can't say whether there's any truth to your other criticisms. I do know that a number of patterns and ideas that I've gleaned from TM's books, particularly STREET SMARTS, have served me well.

Sounds like you are unfamiliar with the name Larry Connors or his achievements.

Anyway, when I was in corporate life, we used to judge purchases on the basis of return on assets. Anything less than one year was a no brainer buy.

Wonder what a return in one trade would be?
