Subject: Serious books on trading ideas?
The most complete book I have read on the subject is "Trading Systems and
Methods" by Perry Kaufman though I'm sure there are others.
You can check out www.traderspressbookstore.com for content details.
> Dear List,
>
> Discovering system trading leads to buying Omega TradeStation. Then you
see
> 800+ indicators and a zillion possibilities and you start experimenting.
> After a while you read a book like Van K. Tharp's "Trade your way to
> financial freedom". But then what.....?
> Van Tharp shows how to build a robust system, TradeStation gives you an
> unlimited set of tools. But I can not see the forest through the trees.
> Does anyone on the list have a suggestion to what books there are on
> "Trading Ideas"? A book that answers questions like;
> 1) How to build a trendfollowing system?
> 2) How to build a sideways trading system?
> 3) How to build a diversified system?
> 4) What are the advantages/disadvantages of trailing stops, break even
stops
> etc.?
> 5) Which indicator should I use when?
> 6) How to/what to add to change such and such ratio?
> 7) If I have this or that idea what should I use, where are the pitfalls,
> where are the strenghts?
> 8) etc. etc.
>
> Van Tharp says "these are the basic systemrules, go ahead, find out
> yourself". When I go ahead with 800+ indicators and a zillion
possibilities
> I will be old before I do my first trade. Are there any good books in
which
> I can read what works where and how it works?
