Connors On Advanced Trading Strategies is a compilation of two years of Laurence A. Connors monthly newsletter, the Professional Traders Journal. He has taken the best strategies and updated them for you. He has also added new strategies, concepts, and thoughts to hopefully bring the research to a new level.
Author’s Introduction:
This book was written with the me of 10 years ago in mind. My goal has been to produce the book I wish I had a decade ago when I made a full-time commitment to my trading. Over the years I have read hundreds of books on investing and trading. The ones I learned the most from were written by individuals who removed their egos from their writing. Their books were written simply, and without the need to show the reader how smart the authors were.
I hope to do the same here. I suspect, if I tried, I could bore you with 12- letter words, run-on sentences, and I could quote Nietzsche and Plutarch to show you how intelligent I am. I could drop names of some of the financial market celebrities I barely know, and I could fill the back of the book with a huge bibliography.
But I will not, for as I mentioned earlier, I am writing Connors On Advanced Trading Strategies as I would have wanted it myself, and I suspect my need to keep things simple and to the point are also yours. The majority of the strategies presented were originally created by my research firm, Oceanview Financial Research. I have attempted to give reference and credit to those individuals from whom other strategies were derived. If I missed anyone, I give you my strongest apologies.

The book is in almost like new conditions. Given the price I paid, the quality/price ratio is stellar. Really a great deal. I got the package in short time and shipping price was really good.

I have read over 24 books on trading in the last 4 months and have spent over a thousand dollars,in my opinion,this is one of the best books on actual trading methodology. The strategies are clear, concise and practical. One important point expressed by the author was the importance of developing a trading methodology that is based on inherent market characteristics. Inherent market characteristics will be evident across all types of trading vehicles and markets because they are,after all, inherent. After many hours and nights of comparing the methods to historical daily and intraday charts I am excited about applying them to my current trading methods. If the strategies and money management principles are used in the manner they are presented they will withstand historical testing and create profits.

Yes, an older book but definitely underrated in comparison to Connors other works. The way Connors writes and details the examples is hyper specific and yet very easy to understand (given that you understand how technicals work).
Yes, I would recommend this book to anyone interested in expanding their knowledge of technical strategies.

This book is exactly what the title suggests Advanced Trading Strategies. If you do not know what VIX is, have never heard of TRIN and only have a vague notion of ADX or D+ and D- this water may be a little deep for you.
Other reviewers have mentioned a lack of back testing, however, my edition of the book has pages and pages….
I have had this book for a month and concentrated so far on VIX reversals. After studying historical charts of the TRIN and the VIX, I satisfied myself that the methods were indeed viable and commenced to paper trade those successfully. I have just completed my third live trade (TRIN reversal signal) and the profit on that one alone is large a multiple of the price of the book.
So far I have had no problems converting any of the simple setups into “scan code” so that my hunt for setups can be automated in the future.
The prospective trader must bring some background, position sizing acumen, and situational awareness to the game but otherwise this book is pretty much a cookbook, read it carefully!
