The Spike-35 Trader’s Manual

In Spike-35 Trader’s Manual, legendary market innovator J.D. Hamon introduces one of his most distinctive and effective trading systems — the Spike-35 Method. Designed specifically for short-term commodity and futures trading, this manual outlines how to identify and trade explosive market moves driven by sharp shifts in price, volume, and momentum.

Hamon breaks down the logic behind “spike” behavior — sudden, high-energy bursts in price action that often mark the beginning or end of a major trend. The Spike-35 system captures these moves through a combination of volatility thresholds, momentum filters, and time-based confirmations. Traders learn how to anticipate breakout behavior, confirm directional bias, and control risk with precision.

With step-by-step explanations, formulae, and historical examples, Spike-35 Trader’s Manual teaches how to apply a tested, mechanical trading approach in volatile markets. It’s a rare fusion of simplicity and mathematical rigor — a genuine blueprint for disciplined, repeatable trading success.
