Trading on Momentum: Advanced Techniques for High Percentage Day Trading
$17.31
Trading on Momentum is a focused, execution-driven guide for traders who want to capitalize on short-term price acceleration with discipline and precision. Ken Wolff presents momentum not as a vague concept, but as a measurable condition that can be identified, traded, and managed with clear rules. The book is firmly rooted in day-trading realities: fast decision-making, strict risk control, and the need for repeatable setups that perform under pressure.
Wolff’s approach centers on recognizing when price is transitioning from balance to expansion. He explains how momentum emerges from order flow and trader behavior, and why only specific market conditions are suitable for high-probability momentum trades. Rather than chasing every fast move, the methodology emphasizes selectivity—waiting for alignment between price structure, volatility, and timing before committing capital.
A major strength of the book is its practical treatment of entries, exits, and trade management. Momentum trades are framed with predefined risk, realistic targets, and contingency plans for failure. Wolff stresses that consistency in day trading comes from controlling losses and executing a process, not from predicting the next explosive move. This mindset is reinforced throughout the book.
The material assumes a working knowledge of intraday charts and market mechanics, and it speaks directly to traders who want to refine execution rather than experiment with indicators. Trading on Momentum is not about automation or shortcuts; it is about building a professional routine for capturing intraday opportunity while protecting capital.

I was excited! Ken Wolff’s book had just arrived, it was Friday and I had a weekend with no plans. I read the entire book by Sunday night, and after I finished it I was just as excited.
Why the cheerleading? Well, I started daytrading 2 1/2 years ago and after one year I had lost $60,000. I stumbled into Ken Wolff’s web site and now, 1 1/2 years later my 60 grand is back in the bank with a very tidy profit to boot. How did I do it, you ask? By using the techniques Ken Wolff has outlined in this fine book. It is that simple.
This is a serious work for the person who is willing to take daytrading seriously and to work really hard at it. While Ken Wolff is a really fun guy, and a joy to trade with, he is dead serious about what he is about in this fine work. This not pie in the sky theory, this is a practical nuts and bolts primer, proven every day by Ken Wolff, and all of us that trade with him. Momentum trading simply works. I am living proof of it.

Half through the book I realized what a bad investment I had made. I bought the book looking for something more advanced than the hundreds of introductory books on trading, but with great disappointment, because it is 274 pages of NOTHING!.

A little history goes with my review, inthat Mr. Wolff also runs a trading room, (MTrader), which I traded in about a year after I began trading. After a short stay at MTrader, I left, simply because I believed that adhering to the patterned strategies of Wolff were a bit too involved and things had to be simpler and faster. That was a mistake and after about a year of alternating trading styles, different strategies, indicators, software, etc., I happened on Wolff’s book and out of curiosity, ordered and read it.
Plainly stated, what moves stocks is news about what a stock has just done, is about to do or is expected to do and the relative expectations of the investors and traders focusing on that stock. Wolff has studied news related momentum for years and is what I would securely describe as a master of expectation and price movement potential. There are a number of successful traders out there who cut their teeth on his schooling…a few went on to try there own trade site.
The methods are plainly and simply explained and in themselves, not difficult. Perhaps because of this truth, others may dismiss it, however, if you read this book and think about it, you come to one glaring fact…and that is Mr. Wolff explains momentum trading methods that are based on logic of predictable reaction to news related momentum….there are no lagging indicators…complicated formulas…just logic.
The difficulty is the patience and discipline one needs to apply in adhering to and application of the information.
One more thing…I’m trading at MTrader again because with everything else I’ve tried and I believe I’ve tried about everything…I found no consistency…I was either burning-hot….or stumbling. Here, I have found consistency that anticipates what a stock will do based on it’s news and the market/sector sentiment at that moment.
Highly recommend this read. I hesitate to state this, but would also suggest after reading the book, you try a week trial at the site to see what you read happening…it would be helpful. Or I suppose if you want to save some money, drop by the site for the trial, (it’s free) and decide before you buy if it allmakes some sense to you…
Good Trading!

This book lacks substance, lacks detail and is merely an exercise in self-promotion. If you want to learn to daytrade professionally, get “The Undergroundtrader.com Guide to Electronic Trading”…
Wolff’s book is nearly as crass as his online chatroom, which suggests buying against the trend, in violation of the primary rule of trading: “Trade with the Trend”… there are many better daytrading titles on sacredtraders.com.

Momentum stock trading can be one of the fastest and most lucrative ways to make money in the market. This book has good strategies that can help you in your trading efforts but I think it needs to get updated for the benefit of the readers.
We as traders need to constantly keep reading and testing setups and strategies because that’s the only way to stay sane and profitable in this business. Fortunatly the internet has some pretty good places where you can gather great information and keep updated with profitable techniques. Some of those websites that I have found to be worthy when it comes to trading momentum stocks is MomentumStockTrading dotcom
When it comes to momentum trading the one thing that we need to keep in mind is that the market will present us with trading and investing opportunities all the time. Not all of them are good enough to consider or even look at. That’s why it’s vital to know what kind of setups and factors to look for before you enter the next trade.
Once you understand, test and master those setups and factors you can aspire to take advantage of hot stocks consistently either in premarket, market hours and after hours every week.
