Book Reviews of Short Term Trading Strategies That Work
Book Review: Solid Research, No Frills
Summary: 5 Stars
I was moved to write this review after reading Stan B.'s negative take on this book. On the one hand, I understand Stan's disappointment. Yes, the book is sparsely written. It is only 144 pages long and could easily have been much shorter if a smaller font and less white space had been used. And, yes, I agree with Stan that the presentation of Connors' Double 7's Strategy was actually better in the article he published in Technical Analysis of Stocks and Commodities--probably because he had some editorial assistance from the magazine on that occasion.
But, to me, these are minor quibbles. We are all conditioned by modern book publishers to expect every worthwhile nonfiction book to be at least 200 to 250 pages long and to follow a certain flow and format. In practice, what that often means is that publishers take a manuscript with a few good ideas and insert 100 pages or more of fluff and filler to get the page count up to 250. This book has none of that and I think is the better for it.
Each chapter has a lean but adequate description of one of Connors' strategies. There are strategies for trading individual stocks and strategies for timing the overall market. What there isn't is a lot of arcane "rocket science." Maybe that was another thing that disappointed Stan. These are strategies are fairly straightforward and doable by most people. Straightforward does not necessarily mean predictable, however. Connors has some extremely provocative thoughts on stops, for example.
And don't let the simple presentation and straightforward strategies fool you. The book is the result of more than a decade of exhaustive computer testing. It is not, as so many books on the market are, based on seat-of-the-pants theorizing.
I have not checked the TradingMarkets Web site, so I cannot speak to the charge that the book merely duplicates what is on the Web site. But I welcomed the opportunity to have so many of Connors' best stock market ideas in one volume.
