Alan, I've stated my thoughts and nothing to add except it was nice to get it off my chest because it's bothered me for awhile. Now we can get back to business. MM

Alan, Please take this as a constructive criticism of your book and writing style. I bought your book many months ago and after several attempts to "get into" it. I have pretty much given up. After reading a few chapters, it just did not capture my interest. Like most people, I don't have much free-time. MST is wordy and spends too much time on nuances of the market that are obvious to anyone with more than few years of experience. What I want is set-ups (patterns) that I have not seen anywhere else or original ideas. That's it. Anything else is a waste of my time. When I was in high school, my English teacher would write "verbose" all over my papers. To this day, I thank her for that. Words don't impress me, ideas do. If you ever decide to write a condensed version (manual) of your original ideas and setups, I would buy it as I believe you have something to offer. Good trading, ams P.S. I have since read, "Trading in the Zone." I hung on every word of that book. It is one of the most important books I have ever read. It has the potential to alter the way I view and live my life. How many books can we say that about? Kudos to Mark Douglas.
