The Online Trading Cookbook By Alpesh B. Patel, Paresh Kiri pdf

There are lots of ideas in this book. But none of them (in my opinion) are described in sufficient depth in order to be able to put them to work. I would prefer a few really good ideas described at greater depth and finally put together into a master plan or strategy so you can profit from them in different market conditions. I only really bought this book because the author has been flogging to death his System X and I wanted to find out more about them man behind it. I found it disappointing considering his opinion in the markets is so sought after.

Not a bad read, however, a word of caution to carefully check each formula quoted in the book. Early on, the author quotes a formula that “should have been the title of the book” (sounds quite important) but gets the formula wrong – he quotes (twice):
x = (p – er)/s
but it should be:
x = p – (er/s)
Strangely, the author gets the formula right in his previous book “Investing Unplugged”, so it’s probably a publishing error, still glaring though.
On the plus side, the book appears to be a source of good ideas and tips from what I have read so far.
