Follow Jeff step by step as he creates his daily "Hit list," waits for the "1-2-3-4 contractions" and then pounces on what he calls "expansion breakouts." Those explosions allow him to catch 4 to 15 point moves within days - and he shows how he does it. Table of Contents: 1. The Opening Bell 2. Terms You Need to Know Before Starting 3.

The Closing Bell You can buy this book by calling 1 888 486-7861 or by Web visiting: mgordonpub.com Jeff Cooper is a professional stock trader in California. Short and sweet, why I like the book ? Let me give you three reasons: Chapter 4. Essential idea to select every weekend a 20 stocks Hit List, based mainly on trend and price, with a minor criteria of sponsorship and liquidity. I'm glad I've finaly learned to focus more on stocks above $30-40 a share, with average volume under 200000 shares a day. In the past, I was a "high volume penny stocks" fan ... Chapter 5. Great breakout pattern that most consistently led to 1-5 days profits. I've learned here to notice one great theme: the best breakouts were accompanied by a daily range that was the largest range of the previous nine trading sessions. Before this book, I was too easy on buying almost every new high, learning the hard way about false breakouts ... Chapter 17. Sign of greatness, Jeff is really walking his talk, showing us how he is reaching, step by step, his weekly goal to net 10 total points. For me, EVERY page of this chapter is worthy more than $100 ... Please Jeff, I hope next editions will include a diary of 2-3 weeks of actual training. This PRO diary is really opening the door of a new career for many of us... Thanks Jeff Cooper ! This review is only reflecting my own opinions/likes/ideas, feel free to check for yourself, everyone is so different ... If many are interested, we can start a new SI thread. 1stSunRay PS: My next review will cover Jeff Cooper's "The 5 Day Momentum Method" !
