Swing and Day Trading: Evolution of a Trader covers swing and day trading. The first portion of the book highlights swing trading techniques, explains how to use chart patterns to swing trade, and explores swing selling, event patterns (common stock offerings, trading Dutch auction tender offers, earnings releases, rating changes, and so on), and other trading setups.
It tears apart a new tool called the chart pattern indicator. The indicator is not a timing tool, but a sentiment indicator that is great at calling major market turns. Swing and Day Trading reveals methods to time the market swings, including specific trading setups, but it covers the basics as well, such as setting up a home trading office and how much money you can make day trading.
Day trading reviews the basics including home office setup, cost of day trading, day trading chart patterns, and the opening range breakout. It discusses research into the major reversal times each day and what time of the day is most likely to set the day’s high and low—valuable information to a day trader. An entire chapter discusses the opening gap setup and why fading the gap is the best way to trade it. Another chapter discusses the opening range breakout setup and questions whether it works.

I find this book one of the best trading book that i have read with fantastic examples of trading intraday technique
Pedro Bradford (verified owner) –
Any trader should read this, a lot of everyday tips and tricks, that help evaluate your entry, current position, or exiting, From shorting to going long. Solid book, one filled with the most useful tips when it comes to trading IMO.

The 3rd book in this trilogy focussed initially on significant patterns (statistically backed) at major tops and bottoms of trend.
I didn’t enjoy the chapters on day trading setup and computer PC trading stations, maybe a decade out of date. These chapters total 30 pages roughly.
After reading, I felt the need to google Weinstein 4 stages.
Day trading chapters provided real world strategies, even hinting at some edge if you’re reading as a ORB or Gap trader. Worth reading for those trading the open.
Would buy and read again, a good finale to the trilogy.

Bulkowski is an excellent popularizer, highly recommended book for those who want to deepen the theme of Swing Trading and Day Trading

Third and last volume of a trilogy that exposes with great rigor and success all types of stock exchange operations

Bulkowski’s books seem expensive at first, but once you start reading them they save you tons of money. I have read all 3 books and they are definitely worth the money and fun to read.

Author shows a lots of setups but doesn’t show you how to select the stocks. Selecting stocks is the most important step prior to doing any swing trading. All setups can be found online. I bought it to learn how to select stocks, turns out the author did not mention it.

Excellent

For candles I prefer Steve Nison’s work. Not overly practical and not for beginners.

I have read a number of investment books. Many are convoluted with unnecessary information. They are written as get rich schemes. This is a very technical book by Mr. Bulkowski. He does an excellent job at explaining all of the details from his studies. This is perfection at its best. My wife will read it also. Investing isn’t easy, and he doesn’t claim it to be. I recommend this to anyone wanting to get the proper knowledge to be a successful trader.

This book is one of several by the author and assumes you already know the basics. However it is very readable and a beginner should still benefit from reading it. I recommend it for the detailed test results of the indicators and patterns covered.
The author outlines two trading styles – trading in a channel and trend trading. He stated that he is not really into day trading. He is an end-of-day trader. However, there are a few chapters on Day Trading.
The emphasis on, and coverage of, patterns is impressively extensive. All the usual cast of characters like support and resistance, trendlines, and what seems like every conceivable pattern in the universe are covered. In addition there are such tpoics as the Three-Bar Net Line and the Monsanto Trade.
I read lots of books. Most of them roll out the same old lines with little new information. This book is not just another rehash. It has in depth coverage of the patterns and indicators and extensive “back tests” of the succes rates. One example is Ascending Triangles. We have seen all the pictures, but does it really work? He has a detailed table of results of various tests; Per Trade Profit/Loss, % Wins, Profit/Loss Ratio, Hold Time Loss, Hold Time (Days).
Finally, instead of the usual fuzzy chapter summary he has a “Chapter Checklist” – a checklist of the ideas covered in the chapter. I found this to be a good test of my short term memory!
For someone trying to reduce the myriad of options to a personal trading style this book is highly recommended.

good book.

Price and quality were all fine
Aniya Hale (verified owner) –
If you have read his other books you can skip some of the swing trading. However, the day trading was excellent. Strongly recommended
Allison Foley (verified owner) –
Not much is discussed about swing trading and nothing is mentioned about trading futures. He discusses some very popular chart patterns and provides some stats as to their effectiveness. If you want to learn about swing trading, Larry Williams is by the far the leading expert in this area and has been for many years.
Ace Harding (verified owner) –
Clear, concise, actionable, particularly when used in conjunction with the rich daily analysis found on Tom’s website.
Ahmed Novak (verified owner) –
Simply the best trading book I’ve read.
Kaiya Liu (verified owner) –
This book is for very beginners. In my opinion, Thomas should add to the title something like “for beginners”. When I saw “evolution of a trader” I ordered to find something new it I did not.
Joyce Ponce (verified owner) –
Good book for a day trading
Brynlee Villegas (verified owner) –
If a trading book gives me at least an idea that I can apply in my own strategies, it is a good book. So, this is a good book. I also like the author’s style, a blend of modesty and hard data. However most strategies cannot be executed “as is” without previous trading skills and experience.
Zechariah McCann (verified owner) –
Good book. Provides good knowledge and basic setups as well. Too much numbers and percentage game is specified and quantified.
Wilder Lamb (verified owner) –
Tom Bulkowski’s books are significant tools for traders, as they are based on analysis (rather than opinion or anecdotes). Well researched, and well presented!
Diego Owens (verified owner) –
Bulkowski’s books are the best and you cant go wrong with any of them.
Thomas is a genious and you any investment in any of his books is well worth it.
I have all 9 of his books
