Severe review manipulation going on, but in the end, the book still sucks 
This is truly a bizarre rating board, exposing the very worst flaws of Amazon's review system. On the one hand, we have obvious shills, whose generic 5-star reviews don't even come close to passing the smell test. On the other, there are tons of single-review bashers who can barely grasp the English language. The tells are that they are all short reviews and chronically misspell the same words: "waist" for "waste," and "starts" for "stars." Very bizarre.
For those who care, the truth is that the author is in fact a terrible writer and trader. (Read my other reviews, if you think I a paid basher -- I simply tell it like it is). The critiques of his writing style and lack of content are spot on. Move on. Look for a better trading book.
Good Solid Trading Book 
I only gave it 4 stars cuz nothing "blew me away" but I thought it was good. Very packed with info. Half the book is basic knowledge, followed chapters for each of the bar patterns he likes and finally 30 rules he likes. Over 400 pages. Many pics of charts which help show concepts being discussed. Mostly the same stuff found in other books but i find that it never hurts to hear another point of view. I did see a couple things in this book that seemed unique. Another good book i recommend to anyone else who is or wants to be a trader. cant hurt to read it.
[...] I have a list of other books i like on my blog page.
Talks more and more about less and less until everything is said about nothing
Out of perhaps 300 books on trading, this one takes the cake. This gentleman really knows his stuff but it it comes across as far too obtuse for me. I felt like it was in your face, full on at one hundred miles per hour. And you know what? At the end of it its like wow what was that, what just happened ? Hurricane Katrina ?
I'm sorry but rather than see some systematic application of quantitative techniques, all I felt I got was an in your face, throw the book of trading indicators at a price movement and then see what sticks. I found the methods presented (for me at least) to be all over the place.
I don't normally comment - but I felt I needed to air a total disappointment with this book.
Save your money. Move on.
The worst English written book I ever read
When I saw someone leaving comments saying it's hard to get into this book due to a poor writing skill, I was very curious as how bad it could be. Then I finally got this book from a library, and just realized it's not just bad, but really really bad !! The concept is good, but it's the poor writing skill from the author !! I think he should have hired some other professional writers to rewrite the whole book, really !!
I am feeling very frustrated as today has been the third week I attempted to read through some chapters but decided to give up. Don't understand why he could have chosen a simpler way to make the reader understood the concept yet instead, intended to put some weird and hard-to-understand sentences pages by pages in this book to block the readers ??
There is no rating below 1, otherwise I want to give a zero to warn this author. JUST HAVE SOMEONE ELSE REWRITE IT!!
For the more experienced...
...stock trader, definitely not for beginners. It's a wee bit hard to understand, however read and re-read it, you will discover some awesome techniques that will help you be profitable!
