Dima, All,
Sorry. Yes the book is as David says. The Art of Trading by Chris Tate. Chris is a full time trader. I heard him speak recently and subsequently bought the book. There is a new edition just out. The book is very concise and to the point. I was very impressed by Chris' ideas and have put them into use with good effect. Simple but powerful.

Geoff,
What book are you talking about?
The Art of Electronic Futures Trading: Building a Winning System by Avoiding Psychological Pitfalls by William S. Kaiser?
Thanks,
Dima.

Folks,
I've not read or heard anyone better on Damage Control/Position Size/Stop Loss & Pyramiding than in his book 'The Art of Trading'.

Well, Alligator is emphatically another example of how there is more than<BR>
one way to accomplish a task. And it's so colorful and flashy!<BR>
<BR>
However, since there seems to be many relatively new investors out there,<BR>
allow me to presume to give some advice. I don't know how to program, but I<BR>
have learned a thing or two about how to invest.<BR>
<BR>
One of the criticisms I have seen of Williams' system is that although he<BR>
professes to love the simple approach, his system is needlessly<BR>
complicated. Someone wrote, "Balance lines, awesome oscillators and<BR>
fractals are just moving averages, MACD and chart breakouts in disguise."<BR>
But this is all beside the point. <BR>
<BR>
Technical indicators and elaborate software will not spare you losing<BR>
money. YOU MUST HAVE A SYSTEM OF DAMAGE CONTROL- or risk management as it<BR>
is better known. I traded for many, many years before I started using stop<BR>
losses, for example. Now, the minute I get a fill on a position, I enter a<BR>
stop loss so that there is no way I'm going to enter at 10, clap my hands<BR>
in glee when the stock goes to 20, begin to worry when it drops back to12,<BR>
and end up praying it will somehow recover when it is at 6 and I'm still<BR>
holding it!<BR>
<BR>
Get a copy of Elder's book, Trading for a Living, by Dr. Alexander Elder.<BR>
Believe me, his system will make you money- as will so many other<BR>
approaches to the market. But his system for managing risk is much more<BR>
valuable than any other I have seen. It will keep you from regretting you<BR>
ever decided to invest in the markets.<BR>
<BR>
And let me thank you again, Steve, (and the rest of you programmers), for<BR>
sharing what you learned about Williams- and the AFL's you and others have<BR>
written- with the rest of us. I know my own trading position has been made<BR>
stronger by being exposed to what you know and what you shared with us!<BR>
