I read this book in 2010 and since then it changed my mind completely about market and trading in general .
I didn't use its strategy at all and i didn't believe in it since day one but .
But i've learned that i could look at market from a vast range of views and i think i owe it to this book and Miner.
And i've a suggestion for people whom interested in this kind of strategies that they could read the Carolyn Borodens work too , she was one of Robert Miner's students.

One of the best books on trading I've ever read.
Yes, he does cover how to trade using his proprietary software, but, it was still very, very educational.

I'm at, the time of writing a trader of 4 years. I quit my day job back in 2016 and have been a full time student of the markets since.
For the first 3 years, I had engulfed many of the popular books to do with technical analysis, position sizing, discipline and mentality but there always seemed to be something missing when it came to reading the markets.
After reading this book from cover to cover in 2019, however, something clicked for me and I started reading the markets with a lot more accuracy. Some of the techniques in this book still works very well in the markets.
This book, for me seemed to complete the missing piece of the puzzle. After learning some of the things here in this book, I became a very consistent trader. Hopefully you can derive the same use from it as i had.
All the best.

One additional of countless books cherry picking "examples". First, none of such strategies don't beat the market (simple buy and hold strategy). Second, Markets are more variant than provided in such books. Third, this boik contains nothing about real probabilities calculations.

I thought this was a helpful read (albeit with the caveat that I have yet to see if this works in practice / helps with my own personal trading).
At a high level, the book can be split into three main sections:
1) practical tips on how to identify and build a potential trade position from entry to exit through four market perspectives:
- Multiple time frame momentum
- pattern recognition
- Price reversal targets
- Time reversal targets
The main practical takeaway points include:
- using different timeframes to help confirm a high probability setup
- clearing up what oscillators actually do and how to use them in practice
- simple and effective Elliott Wave analysis
- using Fibonacci ratios to potentially gauge price and time target ranges
2) The second section then goes on to provide practical tips and strategies on entry, exit, position sizing and trade management
3) case studies of traders in the field
It also has a CD (old school) of setups that aren’t as “clean” as some books would suggest is how the market behaves
All-in-all a useful practical read. It won’t make you a master trader but contains a few tips to put theory into practice. I think it’s a good book that would be useful for any trader but probably best for someone who isn’t a complete beginner (ie some familiarity with technical analysis and has had some experience but wants to improve) to intermediate level (looking to continue to develop their trading strategy)

A book that discusses common sense techniques for trading on the forex, futures and stock markets with a strong bent towards the US retail trader. The work reads like a syllabus and is overly verbose on those entry and exit techniques, and suffers from omissions which one would have thought are of equal importance to the subject matter:
- broker selection
- backtesting
- position sizing
- money management
- measurement and reporting
The work's largest omission in my view is how daytrading should be treated as running a business. For example the administration involved in setting up and running a daytrading operation as well as the regulatory and fiscal framework are not discussed. Much prose is spent on a trading plan, but how it actually would be maintained in a practical situation with clear examples is not discussed. Either way, any work that propounds Fibonacci retracements as a valuable trading technique should be disqualified.
The website mentioned in one of the closing chapters is no longer available.

This book has the basics of a trading strategy using a few standard chart patterns and indicators. Its main value is instilling the discipline of sticking to trading plans. Many sophisticated traders will be frustrated by its lack of completeness and many novices will be overwhelmed by some of the content. That said, following the strategy, I did turn a 36% loss for the quarter into a 3% gain in the futures markets, so it does work. Over the long term, who knows.

I would say this is one of the most comprehensive trading books. It teaches:
Setup conditions with a high probability of success that are logical
How to enter a trade
How to manage the trade
How to exit the trade
At the end, the author also emphasizes the importance of a trading plan and maintaining a trade journal.

Not really much new in here, but the concept of an objective trading plan is invaluable.
