Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Deceiving nameAs a software engineer I needed a book that will teach me some trading strategies that I can program and bought this book hoping to find a list/ideas of trading strategies, as you expect from Encyclopedia. Unfortunately this is the most not practical book I have ever read, if you think you'll be able to trade after reading this book you're wrong!

My only complaint is that the book could present us with more detailed stats on the tested systems. In e.g Way of the turtle (a much less comprehensive text) the author does an excellent job of presenting stats on any tested system, including a number of important ... Read More Rating: - I liked, but it could be betterI liked this book. it presented many ideas and a right pragmatic approach to test a trading system. I found tough the statistics part, but it's not an author's fault: it's statistics. in the final part I found many repetition (many pages might be saved just writing: " hey, for this system we apply the same said at pag. xyz.."). Only two things remained a mistery to me (but I'm not much intellingent..): why didn't the author make any test for longer horizons? in the end, ... Read More |
