Great book, whatever approach you have to trading systems (patterns, indicators, long term, intraday) this book will give you ideas to test and build.

I have been independently trading stocks and options since 2008. I day trade and swing trade short term. I previously had the 5th edition of this book, it was in tatters and I wanted the updated version. I use Neuroshell to develop my strategies. Almost every chapter of this book has trading strategies--more than you will ever be able to implement. If you read thru this book, you will have plenty ideas of how to trade. This book will provide you with the information to creatively develop our own strategies, and avoid paying someone else huge money to be in their daily trading room. But you must put the effort forth to actually read the book. I really can't believe the content of this book and how Kaufman has taken to time to write it.

A thorough venture into a wide battlefield comparing how various tools are deployed. It is an atlas but not a tour guide leaving the visitor to explore further themselves. It is a very updated reference book.

One of the better books I have read that introduces you to various systems to trade. You will have to develop your own plan, tactics and risk management from the fundamentals it presents. There is way more info in here than you will want to absorb. It's a great review of things you may know and a good introduction to other systems you may want to learn.The bad - print is way to small and light charcoal in color making it difficult to read at times.

An earlier review said that the companion website was not part of the book because of the book being purchased through Amazon. The password to the site is provided in the book and works.

I love Perry Kaufman's work, but the publisher Wiley is disorganized and does not back their work.The accompanying website address is not yet up and Wiley claims the buyer has no right to access even though it is printed on the front cover of the book. This the 3rd time I have encountered this situation with Wiley.In requesting the missing companion website address with the codes and spreadsheets, this was the Wiley response:"Thank you very much for the update. I am very sorry but based on the ISBN of your book I see that your book did not include any registration code. Also Amazon is not an authorized dealer foe WileyPLUS so we would not be liable for any missing product.Thank you,Arnold H.Wiley Customer Technical Support"P.S. An older edition of the book comes with a CD, containing the codes and spreadsheets. I do give that one 5 stars.

This book changed my perspective of writing trading systems by providing completely out of the box examples of alpha and showing simple statistic techniques to prove or deny a hypothesis. At the very least, it is a great collection of interesting strategies that deviate from the normal MACD regular garbage.
