It may be an interesting read for more experienced traders, but not necessarily useful to beginners. With that being said, the book is well researched, well-written and mi Read more...

Some good bits.
"I bought this book because I wanted to find some great insights about the trend followers. The books is fantastic here. I learned, for example, that when Seykota ""looks at a market that everyone thinks has exhausted its up trend, this is often when he likes to get in .... He just puts the chart on Read more...
