<H2>Intelligent Futures Trading </H2><B>By Chick Goslin <BR>Windsor Books 
<BR>7412 High Ave. <BR>La Jolla, Calif. 92037 <BR><A 
href="http://www.smr.com/ift.html";>http://www.smr.com/ift.html</A> <BR>Soft 
cover, 193 pages, $65 <BR><BR></B><I>Reviewed by Sheldon Knight</I> <BR><BR>In 
the introduction, Goslin says, &quot;The true objective is not always money. 
Study any exceptionally successful person and invariably the primary force...was 
their passionate pursuit of excellence, not profit.&quot; He then explains how 
to trade &quot;intelligently.&quot; It doesn't matter if the ideas make money or 
not. Gee, I guess I've had it wrong all these years! <BR><BR>The first part of 
the book is an eclectic collection of one-sentence sound bites. Examples: 
&quot;The primary motive is to observe, learn and then act intelligently.... 
Don't think. Look. Don't analyze. Observe.&quot; <BR><BR>The rest of the book 
discusses Security Market Research charts based on three indicators, which the 
book never definitively de-scribes. The long-term line, Goslin says, seems to be 
a 10-week moving average of price. The short-term line could be, &quot;...a 
three-day moving average of the daily price, or daily rate of price 
change.&quot; He says the third line might be a 13- to 16-day moving average of 
the short-term line. The bottom line is you have to buy the charts to get the 
indicators. <BR><BR>Goslin then presents a series of vague rules for using the 
lines. &quot;Try to buy when the Timing line is either relatively low or has 
been coming down for two to five days and is not increasing its rate of 
descent.&quot; Much of Goslin's advice is so general it's hard to see what he 
would have us do in actual trading. Nor does he provide any evidence his ideas 
have made any money. Sorry, I forgot -- making money isn't important so long as 
we trade intelligently. <BR></DIV></BODY></HTML>
