Review: For beginning traders there's a lot of information out there. There are dozens of patterns, oscillators, and indicators; at first each one seems like it's going to be great, but after a few losing trades, a person gets confused about how to proceed and just what indicators to use.

The great thing about this book is the emphasis on STRATEGIES -- this approach places indicators and oscillators in their proper role as tools that are subservient to strategy. As a beginning technical trader faced with a bewildering minefield of tools, it wasn't until I started using these strategies that I started making some money in the uncertain market we are currently in.

The book does seem somewhat thin -- the text and figures are LARGE, as if trying to take up more space. There could have been a bit more background and info provided, I suppose. I also don't understand why the man won't use candlesticks, which I find much more intuitive than bars. But in the main I've found it very helpful.

Review: Having recently read and successfully applied the trading system of Mr. Landry's most recent book "The layman's guide to trading stocks, I ordered this book looking for more of the authors wisdom. That's exactly what I found in this book. The author offers a swing traders treasure chest of information. His system of trading persistent pullbacks triggered by trend knockouts on momentum stocks is a simple strategy that proves to be very effective for assuring that you're on the right side of the trade. The strategies outlined are simple to follow and the setups, entries, profit taking, and exits are explained with simple straightforward clarity. I love Dave's writing style. He avoids over-complicating the subject and instead offers a wealth of decades of experience in an easy to follow outline. This book offers the best information on identifying the proper setups to find and define stocks that are trending. The setups work equally well on longs and shorts. As Mr. Landry states "they slide faster than they glide", I prefer these pattern trades on shorts. If your looking for information on identifying and executing trades on intermediate trends, you cannot go wrong with this book. Thanks Dave Landry for a great resource. An excellent book!

Review: This handy primer contains little fluff and a lot of insight. It's straight forward and easy to understand. Nothing too esoteric here, but plenty of substance. Read it a bunch of times and memorize those patterns from the guy who invented trading the pullback! Landry's ideas work. Highly recommended.

Title: .0 out of 5 stars Terrible Waste of Money!
Date: Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2006
Review: I bought this book because of the rave reviews it received here, so I am writing this to let others know they should not be deceived as I was. If this book cost $10 I MIGHT say it was worth the money, but essentially it was 170 pages of large print and screen shots, all illustrating examples of one strategy (not 10), which can be boiled down to:

1) Trade with the trend.

2) Enter following a pullback after resumption of the trend.
