Price Action Trading: Day-Trading the T-Bonds off PAT
$28.91
Price Action Trading has been written for anyone wishing to day trade, using a discretionary method, rather than a mechanical system. It is a learning tool which should commend itself to the experienced trader, as much as to someone new to this business.
Introduction:
This book is about day trading. Using the price action itself, rather than any of the usual array of indicators based on it. The US 30-year Treasury Bond Futures is the favoured instrument – the T-Bonds, as they are commonly called. There are good reasons for choosing this instrument to learn to trade – one being that they do not require a detailed knowledge of bonds themselves. The other attractions, whether you are a beginner or a seasoned veteran, are to do with liquidity, range, behaviour, patterns and the price action displayed at the key support and resistance points it encounters.
Most days the T-bonds offer trading opportunities which can be taken within a money management environment that can give you an edge for profit – and this book has been designed to show you how to do just that. Fully illustrated with charts taken from a live trading screen and displayed in exactly the way you would have seen them for yourself, on your computer monitor. What you see is not just what happened, in detail, but also clear evidence of just how you could have profited yourself from each trading situation.

Greetings, I had an opportunity to scan through this book, and I thought I was in for a real treat. There are so very few good books on pure price action, and Mr Eykyn has reportedly got such a big name in trading that I was convinced he had something of value. However, after my review, I feel that the book would have been more appropriately named Pivot Action rather than Price Action. The manual is about using the well known pivot calculations, and trading off of those price lines at the various levels on the charts. Nothing new here. But I must admit, this is a more detailed treatment of Pivot Action then I have seen in recent years. Be advised, this book is not for the trading neophyte. The terminology and level of trading sophistication is well beyond the grasp of most newbies. Mr Eykyn does well in describing how he executes his analysis in trading the Bonds, and the book is nicely written. But in my mind, the content of this manuscript does not justify the relatively high price. But if you’re a current user of the pivots, there are more than a few good tidbits of wisdom. If my memory serves me, some time ago Neil Weintraub did just as credible a job on using the pivots, only at half the cost. In any case, I’m still waiting to see another real book on Price Action to add to my 20 year collection. Enjoy!

I should have listen to the one other person wrote who reviewed this book, but the 4 star rating hooked me in. I find nothing within the covers of this book to justify 4 stars or the price.
I agree with the other review that the book is not price trading but simple pivot point trading. I am not stating that pivots are not a key component of trading. I use them across all spectrum’s. What I am saying is there is nothing new here.
I have been trading for 12 years and in all that time I have come across only one comprehensive book on actual price trading, Al Brooks Reading Price Charts Bar by Bar. If anyone knows of others, please forward them to me.
Price trading in the fashion of the greats like Jesse Livermore is not popular among the trading masses, or even among some on Wall Street, because it is not simple and it is not the golden cash cow indicator.
Perhaps some of the applications to bonds are a little different, but at $100 plus for the book, I simply cannot justify the purchase.
Unless your starving to part with the dollars pass this pivot book up for some less expensive treatise on pivots.
