Dave Landry - Great Teacher

This is a great book for anyone who wants to fine tune swing trading techniques. Dave Landry is a great teacher. To learn from him is learning from one who is in the business. It is true that there is a LOT of information in the book and it will take a person a while to learn the information. However, Dave Landry is kind enough to provide on-going support through his weekly videos and newsletter archives which is available for free. All you have to do is go to: www.tradingmarkets.com/.site and view his archives. Even Dave Landry will tell you that NO STRATEGY works all the time. Nevertheless, his methods make a living for him and he is a great teacher. His approach works when the market cooperates and this is not a book filled with hype. The methods presented work well when the market condition is favorable for momentum trading. Every serious Swing Trader should own Dave Landry's book.

Great Insight at a Nice Price

This handy primer contains little fluff and a lot of insight. It's straight forward and easy to understand. Nothing too esoteric here, but plenty of substance. Read it a bunch of times and memorize those patterns from the guy who invented trading the pullback! Landry's ideas work. Highly recommended.

A Common Sense Approach To Trading

I bought this book a few weeks back. It took only a few days to get the concepts presented. Dave has a "no non-sense" approach to trading that everyone should consider putting in their arsenal of trading tactics. If you are a trend trader/swing trader/day trader/short and even long term trader(could find better entries with this book), you should consider applying some of the great strategies and principles in this book. Dave doesn't make things complicated, and yet the principles are very profound and simple. The book is not very long, but I don't see this as negative, really. It's nice not being over powered with so much information to process. I recommend this book for those looking for something different than the main stream trading books, to pick up some strategies.

Very good strategies

For beginning traders there's a lot of information out there. There are dozens of patterns, oscillators, and indicators; at first each one seems like it's going to be great, but after a few losing trades, a person gets confused about how to proceed and just what indicators to use. The great thing about this book is the emphasis on STRATEGIES -- this approach places indicators and oscillators in their proper role as tools that are subservient to strategy. As a beginning technical trader faced with a bewildering minefield of tools, it wasn't until I started using these strategies that I started making some money in the uncertain market we are currently in. The book does seem somewhat thin -- the text and figures are LARGE, as if trying to take up more space. There could have been a bit more background and info provided, I suppose. I also don't understand why the man won't use candlesticks, which I find much more intuitive than bars. But in the main I've found it very helpful.

Take your swing trading to the next level

Dave Landry's first book, "Dave Landry on Swing Trading", is the bible of swing trading. I honestly learned how to swing trade confidently in that easy-to-read book. Dave Landry's "10 Best Swing Trading Patterns and Strategies" goes more in-depth on specific swing trading patterns. Landry truly simplifies his strategies that I understood everything within an evening read. I was able to scan for stocks and use these strategies the evening I read this book. These strategies have been consistent at finding profitable trades in the 2 to 5 day range.
