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.

    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 ona
position, I enter a<BR>
    stop loss so that there is no way I'm going to enterat
10, clap my hands<BR>
    in glee when the stock goes to 20, begin to worry when
it drops back to 12,<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, byDr.
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>
