Street Smarts

I managed to obtain a copy of Linda Raschke's book in PDF form, which is available to buy for £130 on Amazon.  Lots of custom settings for oscillators.  Anyone used this?  Does it not get attention because it's a hidden gem, or because it's written by a woman in a male-dominated industry?

I change my opinions sometimes

Apropos of which, I would spend £30 on a good ebook (it would have to be really good though), but £131 is the kind of price publishers make university students pay for their textbooks.

You can get a used paperback version for £269.99 though, what a bargain

Actually I've got the pdf (haven't read it though) don't have a link or I would post it, pdf file too big to post, (exceeds max total size).

'The Holy Grail' involves buying bounces off 20-EMA when ADX is above 30 and rising.

Worth testing out I suppose 🤔

Turtle Soup!

The book contains multiple methods all of which work, as with every trading method each method will perform to a certain set of figures according to its expectation return.

Larry Connors shows the effects of not using a stop on a method with surprising outcome

Probably one of the better trading books out there in the generalist genre

Although there are a lot of statistics at the end of the book the authors state that their set-ups are discretionary. Interestingly the only “indicator” Al Brooks uses is a 20 period moving average. I have forward tested something similar to the ‘holy grail’ a lot.

Given the price of the book on Amazon, here is the ‘Holy Grail’ of pirated books.

I had a quick look at the suggested 20 EMA and ADX > 30 and it didn't look very good on any time frame.  ADX tending to reach that level too late in the trend.
