Review: An excellent little strategy book
Rating: 5 out of 5

I thought this was an excellent little trading book because it describes a real-life day trading strategy (most often used on futures markets), explains everything clearly, and gives lots of examples. I've read many dozens of trading books, and very, very few actually describe a real life trading strategy in such detail.Other reviewers unfamiliar with range bars seem to have issues with them, but I've been using them for many years for both manual and computerized algo trading, and they are my preferred bar style, for sure. So if you haven't heard of them, take it as an opportunity to learn about them and try them out.The author mentions the Genesis FT charting software (among others), and I can also vouch for Genesis. I've been using their software for many years, and have not found any other charting package that is so flexible. And their support is excellent, like the author's website support.There are no gimmicks or omissions in this little book. It's very well written, and easily worth the price. Many years ago I had the experience of working with the author's company and trading rooms (live web trading rooms) where users were guided through making trades in real time using the strategies in this little book. So it's all very, very real.I would easily recommend this book to anyone who is interested in trading.
