Eric,
I hadn't got around to testing the N-day Breakout; a quick look in QPlus [below] shows you might need a nimble exit :)

Would like to system test it vs., for example, Raschke's First Cross -- only thing from that section I've actually used is a SAR exit.

Agree that he covers a lot; I've just nibbled here and there so far.

Bob

Hello Eric,

Can you please share a little of what Kaufmann has to say on P&F.

None of my local bookstores have the book in stock. I read the list of contents at Amazon and it looks to cover some interesting subjects however I would appreciate your thoughts on the overall value of the book.

Regards
David
