Long-Term Secrets to Short-Term Trading
$23.20
“Long-Term Secrets to Short-Term Trading” is one of Larry Williams’ most influential works, revealing the foundational principles behind his short-term trading success. Unlike traditional books on day trading or swing trading, this volume digs into the long-term statistical tendencies and market behaviors that consistently drive short-term price movement. Williams demonstrates that the key to profitable short-term trading lies not in randomness, but in measurable forces—seasonality, repeating patterns, accumulation, volatility cycles, and time-based market rhythms.
Using decades of research, Williams shares the techniques he personally developed and traded, including his famous short-term timing models, OOPS pattern, profit-taking logic, volatility triggers, and unique approaches to identifying exhaustion and reversal zones. Charts, historical tests, and practical step-by-step examples (illustrated throughout the book) show how these setups work in real markets.
The book ultimately provides a trading framework rooted in market reality—not indicators or hindsight bias. Readers learn to anticipate key moments where the market becomes vulnerable to strong directional movement, and how to position themselves with clarity and discipline.
This is not a beginner’s guide—it is a concentrated, experience-based blueprint for traders who want to elevate their short-term methodology using real statistical edges and professional-grade timing concepts.

Of all the trading books I have read over the many years, this one is the best.
It’s practical and chokful of good ideas. Trend analysis, money management. TDW, TDM and various setups.
It tells the wanna be speculator just how hard this game is! and also the rewards that await for the person who ploughs through anyway.

In my opinion it is a very interesting book for traders and speculators. Williams knows what he is talking about and you should be a fool not to read what he has to say if you want to start risking money. I have been trading for many years and I was happy that I have read it. Most I knew, as for instance the importance of good money management and that we never know how the next trade will go. But I also learned some interesting things and it is also good to hear from an experienced trader that you learned and understood the right things. I can recommend it.

Wonderful book

Not very practical for traders. Bollinger s classic on his bands was great. I hoped for the same from “%R” Larry but was disappointed

If you interested in the data and the process. This will give you both for reasonable perspective on trading.

Way too simplified. Uses money earned and lost to capture attention of amateur readers, neglected the back that percentage return is the crucial focus of trading.

No dislikes. Mr. Williams writes truthfully relating to trade results that are 90% at odds with those over the top tv advertising “promises.” I’ve traded close to a decade – have read many books and attended many seminars – and Williams introduces a new – and straight forward – trading pattern early on in the book. This is not a quick read; for me it is a read and re-read. Don’t buy this book if you are just getting started. WELL WORTH THE COST!

I have read and/or watched much trading educational material. This book should have been the first one I read, and chapter three should have been chapter one. Read chapter three first, then read it over again until it becomes ingrained in your brain like muscle memory is to an athlete. If after understanding this chapter you are unsure if you are interested in this game of trading, and remember, for every winner there is a loser, find another way to make money. This book is chock full of need to know information, strategies and opinions, but wrap your mind around chapter three before you spend the time learning the material. Just as a teaser, the title of chapter three is “The Real Secret of Short Term Trading.”

I lost some money trying to make a profit with what a mentor taught me. Page after page of this book I understood why I lost in the trades I did. The task is to re-read the summary I made and apply it

Waste of time completely ! Don’t buy it , nothing here to learn from . Very disappointed

Pretty good book, worth the read.

I have read over 50 trading books, this is not much different than any of them. There is some great information in here and it is great for people learning markets. It is a quality book, and I honestly think trading for the average retail trader is not the same as it was 30 years ago and some of the concepts in this book are outdated. Larry Williams is a legend. His whole life is an amazing story. It blew my mind when i found out that his daughter michelle is actually the famous actress and won the robbins cup as a teenager. Its just mind blowing. Worth a read if you are generally interested in getting into markets. If you already trade successfully and have your own system probably not worth it.

I read the whole book. If you learn one thing it was worth it.

As soon as he finally, finally gets to something of substance in the samples of his books, the sample ends. The Will Rogers of investing.
