Book Description

Real trading strategies for making a killing in today's volatile markets
Advanced Swing Trading reveals the strategies used by George Soros, Warren Buffett and other high-profile traders to reap whirlwind profits in today's volatile markets. With the demise of day trading, traders are searching for new methods of exploiting the unprecedented volatility of post-9/11 securities markets. The most successful of these methods so far has been swing trading, a powerful technical approach that allows traders to profit from shorter-term price moves, ranging from several days to a couple of months. In Advanced Swing Trading, veteran trader and leading trading coach, John Crane clearly describes his original Action/Reaction swing trading system. With the help of numerous real-world examples, Crane clearly delineates his system and shows readers how to use it to consistently to gain big returns in even the shakiest of markets.
John Crane (Loveland, CO) is the founder of Traders Network, a firm providing brokerage service and educational training products for smart investors. His monthly columns have appeared in Futures Options magazine, and articles about his trading strategies have appeared in Barron's, Consensus, and The Wall Street Journal.

utter rubbish.......2007-10-03

Utter rubbish IMHO. I am not anti technical analysis as I trade from price action and volume cues but this book seems to be a compendium of lines drawn on charts after the fact. I threw it away.

Are you for real ?????????????.......2006-12-11

Wow it is sooooo obvious that all thease reviews were submitted by the same person!! i bought this book, this is one of the worst books ever about trading (i have read alllllot of books) it seems if the author hired a 4yr old and asked him to make a trading method. The method that he talks about can be obtained on any trading forum for free. As for the method it self it is not worth the price of the book at ALL!!! and most trader's even if your new to trading probably allready know it.If your looking for a profitable method look elsewhere.

An interesting twist on fibo expansions or "measured moves".......2005-02-27

Mr Crane's book is well written and practical. If you enjoy charting you'll like just practicing with the Andrew's pitchfork and reaction lines. However, the main faults with the methods he mentioned are that the rules are too rigid to be accurate the majority of times, and the prospective use of the methods is quite a bit harder than the retrospective use.

The author mentions in his intro that he stumbled on a "repetitive, predictable pattern" that was the basis for his method. I believe that this was basically the "measured move," or the 100% extension of A-B-C swings. His charting technique with Andrew's pitchfork tries to predict this, but it is excessively complicated and only accounts for 100% measured moves. In my opinion, a fibo extension tool is far easier to use and allows traders to see the 61% and the 161% extensions as well as the 100%, which are just as useful. The time element of counting days, I think, is even more unreliable in practice. But, then again some measured moves are symmetric in time and price, so occasionally they work.

Bottom line, an interesting book, but not one that will likely have a very high predictive value.

a good idea but not a good system, needs more improving.......2004-10-11

It can't be a good trading system since market can't be predicted precisely. How can you define a swing or a hard mid term drawdown? or even to know the trend is over. No body knows. Nevertheless, he offers a very good idea to help trader how to predicate the market behavior. It is still worthy to study, but can't work as a trading system. It's too rigid to trade with this system.

Not the Holy Grail!.......2004-08-26

I really wanted to like this book. I've read it twice and spent some considerable time in revisiting the examples trying to become familiar with the author's methodology. However, there seems to be an operative disconnect between the espoused theory and the demonstrated practice.

First - the negatives. The author's thesis is that it is possible to predict market turning points in advance by identifying a reaction swing, counting backwards to a prior turning point, and then projecting that periodicity forward to derive a reflective, future turning point. But the author does not precisely define how a reaction swing is identified, or how one reaction swing is to be considered while another is to be ignored. The examples in the book do not address the reasoning involved for practical application of this method. This theoretical shortfall diminishes the utility of the reaction swing concept.

Second - the positives. Although this method was suggested before in Roger Babson's action-reaction theory (1910s), the Wetzel Market Bureau's "Course in Trading" (1930s), and Alan Andrews' course (1960s), it was not so thoroughly developed as it is in this presentation. Also, there are a number of interesting trading systems (set-ups) offered which might prove to be useful.

All in all, this book is akin to the photograph of a holy grail as compared to THE HOLY GRAIL. It is an interesting book that presents some time-honored concepts - with a few unresolved issues. More interesting (and usefully profitable) are the Wetzel and Andrews courses.

Contents.......2007-09-18

As other reviewers have stated this series has a few problems. The lectures are also all jumbled up into "topic areas", and the listener is left to align them to the chapters in the Feynman Lectures on Physics. The sections to which the commentator on the CD's refers are in these books (ISBN: 0201021153, or even better get the hardcover). If you are learning physics for the first time, you definitely want the books to go along with at the same time.

Book Description

1909. Many tales have been collected and they are represented in the present volume by the household tales preserved by Grimm. Far earlier written down, but less primitive in kind, are the Aesopic Fables. Still more recent, both in kind and in date, are the Wonder stories of modern manufacture represented here by the tales of Hans Christian Andersen. Andersen had a marvelous knack of entertaining children by repeating old folk tales of the type collected by Grimm; and his success in this led him on to attempt inventing new ones.
