Chapter 1-3: Swift and succinct overview of trend trading using forex examples. She prefers pure technical driven analysis as opposed to discretionary analysis.
Like all trading books, the examples are contrived to illustrate specific patterns. Chapter 1-3 goes into how to identify the direction of a trend and channel trading. Courtney gives clear explanations about the base method she's using, who pioneered it (in case you wanted to do additional reading), how she tweaked and most importantly the rational as to why she tweaked it. I personally found her explanation of how to identify a trend to be the informative. Most books I've read identify bull, bear and sideway markets as simply an "eyeballing" task which is something I could've done without spending 30 bucks.
I haven't personally backtraded her examples yet, but so far the book is giving me plenty ideas to chew on. I'm reading a few other trading book concurrently, but so far I have gotten the farthest in this book despite getting it last. Her writing style and methods are simply clicking with me I guess.

This was the first trading book I ever read. It opened my mind to the world of trading, including an introduction to the turtle's.

Bombastic, uncritical, not well structured, full of unimportant personal stories. Reading it felt like listening to a telemarketer, moreover the author, Courtney A. Smith was previously convicted of securities fraud (sec.gov). Didn't finish it, waste of time.
