Description

“Curtis Arnold’s PPS Trading System” presents a structured, rules-based methodology designed to outperform the broader market through disciplined trend participation, market timing, and portfolio rotation. Rather than relying on discretionary judgment or short-term speculation, Arnold introduces the PPS (Primary Probability Strategy) as a systematic framework focused on aligning trades with dominant market conditions.

The core philosophy of the PPS system is simple but demanding: participate only when probabilities are favorable, stand aside when conditions deteriorate, and rotate capital toward strength. The book explains how broad market direction, sector behavior, and individual instrument selection interact to create environments where risk-adjusted returns improve significantly.

Arnold emphasizes process over prediction. Entries, exits, and exposure levels are governed by predefined rules that remove emotional interference and reduce overtrading. By combining trend filters with timing logic, the PPS system seeks to avoid prolonged drawdowns while remaining positioned for sustained advances.

This book is not about constant action. It is about selectivity, patience, and execution discipline. For traders and investors who want a repeatable system that balances participation with capital protection, “Curtis Arnold’s PPS Trading System” offers a practical blueprint grounded in probability, structure, and long-term consistency.

✅ What You’ll Learn:

  • The core principles behind the PPS (Primary Probability Strategy).
  • How to determine when market conditions favor participation or caution.
  • Methods for aligning trades with dominant market trends.
  • Timing techniques designed to reduce drawdowns and false entries.
  • How to rotate capital toward strength and away from weakness.
  • The importance of rules-based execution and emotional neutrality.
  • How to structure a repeatable trading and portfolio process.

💡 Key Benefits:

  • Encourages disciplined, probability-based trading decisions.
  • Reduces emotional trading through predefined rules.
  • Focuses on capital preservation as much as return generation.
  • Applicable to stocks, ETFs, and broader market participation.
  • Supports long-term consistency rather than short-term speculation.

  • Market participants interested in trend-aligned portfolio strategies.

    Simple and easy trend seeking method for even a beginner. But if you are already a sophisticated chartist or finding some more exciting speculation method, this one will not be for you since it is talking only about the traditional pattern break out and moving average method. However, in the medium to long trend seeking investments, there are always that ‘simple is the best.’

    I have been a trader for 23 years and there are three books I always tell people to read before I will talk to them. PPS, Reminiscences of a Stock Operator, and a new one, Trend Following by Covel. They don’t have the Golden Mean but they will introduce you to the ideas that will make you a better trader. Read and test before you put your money on the table. Otherwise just go to Vegas, you’ll have more fun there losing your money.
    PS in all the years I have been trading only two people have read the books, one is my son!! That should tell you how serious people are about making money.

    Exactly what I was looking for!

    This is the best book I have read on trading in a long time. I am not sure why it is out of print. The methods are very logical, and Mr Arnold certainly hits on all points salient to trading. I would recommend this book as a must read for anyone interested in trading.

  5. Queen Bean (verified owner)

    The system is Ok and probably tests out fairly well even today. Like most trend following systems it will have big drawdowns over time, and this is very underplayed in this book. He also has very little diversification which will probably result in worse results.
    Most interesting is that the author was eventually sued and proved a fraud in selling false hope systems.

  6. Brecken Caldwell (verified owner)

    Very good information and historical studies on the stock market and commodities
