High Probability Trading Strategies: Entry to Exit Tactics for the Forex, Futures, and Stock Markets

This book is a wonderfully comprehensive look into a full trading strategy that can be applied to any market and any timeframe. The concepts are not elementary to understand, but are certainly not beyond the grasp of the average reader.

The downside to this book is that, according to the writer himself, professional traders have win ratios between 30% and 50%. This is astounding given that even a toss of a coin will come out at 50% eventually. It doesn’t appear to be “high-probability” if it succeeds less than half of the time…

Regardless, I will certainly be trying out this method and will report back on my results once I’ve clocked in enough trades to make a meaningful conclusion.

The book that brings it all together. Realistic. Easy to read. No BS. No hype. Most importantly, tied together a lot of info I had read before but was missing the connections. Even a few suggestions, just a few, helped me go to the “next level.” Thank you Robert.

Not really helpful, very difficult to follow, it seem many things were coverd here is nonsense, both novice trader and seasoned trader not apply it for profit

I’ve been studying and trading the stock market for over 40 years, I’ve read hundreds of trading books and watched hundreds of videos on trading, I use professional charting software and consider myself a highly profitable trader. I KNOW what works and what doesn’t and this book is ‘one of’ the better (real world) trading books. I also agree with Mr. Miner that most strategies that are taught today don’t work and also in my opinion most traders fail because they don’t have the patience to ‘wait for a really good setup’ and don’t know how to position size or build a successful entry/exit strategy .. this book helps in that department ..ALOT. However, only real trading with real money will tell you where you stand emotionally and if you have the ability to follow known strategies that put the odd’s in your favor… if you had only 20 bucks to invest in a trading book… I’d be inclined to go for this one.. and Trend Trading for a Living as number #2 good profits to all…

Taught me Something! But NOT how to “Get-Rich-Quick”! Ha!

straight forward, clear… the basics of trading delivered the way i like….without the philosphy or mumbo jumbo. Just 2 of the big takeaways for me: 2 time frames, and using stop orders to enter.

in a nutshell, its the approach to identifying and following a trend. If that sounds trivial to you than you may not be ready for the book. However if you have bought at the highs and sold at the lows a few times…. now you are ready.

There is a lot of good info, especially for newbies like me, and the fib and Elliot waves simplified version has opened my eyes. The concept of price action is tough, period, no any other way around it. Get used to losses and be ready to learn from every losing trade , and understand the concept of a “probability”. There is no 100% sure trade, so stop losses and all the good staff needs to be put into consideration. Thanks Miner.

Outstanding work that combines Elliott Wave, Fibonacci retracements, and momentum indicators to provide high probability setups. It’s a very candid and practical course that covers in a detail others lack proper position sizing, stop placement, and – most importantly – clearly defined exit strategies.

The author has more than twenty years experience teaching trading and is a specialist in forex, stocks and futures. The book is aimed at intermediate to advanced readers. It goes straight into the author’s recommendations about how to use Elliot Wave theory and fibonacci retracements. Instead of using RSI, MACD or Stochastics in the examples in the book, the author uses the DTOSC or Dynamic Trader Oscillator which is the author’s proprietary software. This in itself isn’t necessarily a bad thing as the author states that it behaves like a combination of RSI and stochastics but it does perhaps give the feeling that the author is trying to promote his own software.

The worst thing about the book is that it is difficult to read. Many charts are on a different page to the text/explanation which is itself rather dense and hard to follow. Furthermore, the author uses a lot of jargon, abbreviations and acronyms making the task even more difficult. Finally, the writing style is to have a lot of dense verbiage with the conclusion or point of the section right at the end leaving the reader to wade through a lot of text to discern the point of the section. Perhaps I am not an advanced enough trader to benefit from it. I will certainly return to this book later after I have gained more experience trading.

In “High Probability Trading Strategies,” Robert C. Miner provides a comprehensive guide to trading the Forex, futures, and stock markets. The book covers the technical analysis tools, trading psychology, and risk management strategies required for successful trading. Miner’s writing style is clear and concise, making the complex concepts easy to understand.

The key concepts explained in the book include trend analysis, chart pattern recognition, and Fibonacci retracements. The author emphasizes the importance of creating a trading plan and sticking to it. The book also covers the use of indicators such as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) for market analysis.

The book is highly effective in teaching the subject matter, with practical examples and exercises provided throughout the book. The author’s unique approach to trading strategies focuses on the use of probabilities rather than predictions, making it an invaluable resource for both novice and experienced traders.

One of the most helpful aspects of the book is the author’s discussion on trade management and how to exit trades. The book also covers the use of money management techniques such as position sizing and stop-loss orders.

The only area where the book could be improved is in the author’s use of technical jargon, which may be confusing for readers unfamiliar with trading terminology.

Overall, “High Probability Trading Strategies” is a must-read for anyone interested in trading the financial markets, regardless of their experience level. The book provides a practical and expert perspective on trading strategies that can be applied to various financial markets.

In 18 years of trading and reading several books and developing my own strategies this is the first book that teaches you how to make objective decisions and by applying the principles, negating your emotions.
