Summary: Worst Money Management Book I Ever Read
Comment: From the content to the writing style this book scores a zero. The book is more of a sales piece for another book Stridsman wrote. I have never heard of someone being so stuck on percentages. Stridsman should be a middle school math teacher. Of course percentages are important, but I don't think we need to pay nearly 40 dollars for a magazine columnist to tell us that. I guess if you happen to want to buy his code for tradestation you might find the book more interesting, but you can get that stuff for free off of many sites. Don't waist your money.

Summary: Very Disappointing
Comment: Wow, what can I say? This is a huge disappointment. I don't think you really need this book because Stridsman's first book is good enough and better. The problem with this book is that the systems are rehashes of articles that the author has already written for Active Trader magazine, and the systems are not even that good. This book is "been there, done that" -- it does not advance the technical analysis literature with any new concepts or ideas. I had a strange feeling of deja vu only a few pages into the book. Again, I am really surprised that this book was released - cannot recommend it at all.

Summary: Finally money management is combined with systems trading
Comment: It doesn't matter how great your system is if you don't have a relevant money management strategy that will sustain you for the long run. Mr.Stridsman does just that. He does not pull punches in showing the relevance of trading systems and how useless they are if there is no money management component.

He then goes on to show you how to combine these two seemingly disparate concepts into concrete solution for trading jus about any market.

Where he falters is in the mechanics of the actual items that you can trade. Especially with single stock futures now on the scene I would have like to have seen some examples of single stock futures in the book. In this instance I would combine Mr.Stridsman concepts with the book "Single Stock Futures For Small Speculators" or "Futures For Small Speculators".

Otherwise I was thoroughly impressed.
