I've just ordered Thomas Stridsman's book "Trading Systems That Work". This is NOT
a recommendation - I haven't read it yet! But the recommendations on Amazon and
TradersLibrary looked good enough for me to buy it. I've also heard good things on
this and other lists about "The Ultimate Trading Guide" by Hill and Pruitt.

> 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
