Customer Reviews

Still relevant after all these years

Very readable, witty and entertaining. Much of the concepts emphasized in the book are essentials of trading. Whilst alot may be now accepted as common knowledge, there remains an enduring quality to this book. Some of the stuff will undoubtedly be very dated (such as references to software etc.). Other issues have remained unresolved (to optimize or not, and how much to optimize). Still other aspects will always be relevant. Personally, I think many traders, at any level will enjoy reading this book, which must be regarded as a classic.

If forced to own only one book on futures this would be it!

Bruce Babcock's book is spectacular. It cuts through all the nonsense in futures trading and reveals what is essential to surviving. Mr. Babcock provides lucid and honest evaluations of popular trading systems. The chapter on optimization is extremely useful. Wonderful book!! Far superior to most of the trash out there.

A must for a system developer
