Customer Reviews

I liked, but it could be better by Guido
I liked this book.

it presented many ideas and a right pragmatic approach to test a trading system.

I found tough the statistics part, but it’s not an author’s fault: it’s statistics.

in the final part I found many repetition (many pages might be saved just writing: ” hey, for this system we apply the same said at pag. xyz..”).

Only two things remained a mistery to me (but I’m not much intellingent..): why didn’t the author make any test for longer horizons? in the end, the strategies never approached a longer term trading strategy: usually the trades last few days.

maybe it’s not worth? the author doesn’t tell us

ah, and it’s not an encyclopedia: why did he choose this name?

this is the second mistery…

Too Technical for Me by T. Beard
The Encyclopedia of Trading Strategies is well written and is a good book if you are looking for something very technical and mechanical. I was disappointed with the book. I thought it would offer chart set ups or set ups per technical indicators. Instead, it offered codes, etc for setting up mechanical systems.

Research oriented traders, read this one!! by Bill Bitner
Wow! For the research oriented person, this book is great! Not

only does it go over large variety of different approaches

to the commodities market, but the authors let you know the

pitfalls and traps to various methods of evaluating the markets.

The book is written in a concise manner that allows quick naviagation

and further study of any desired topics. The authors have

documented their sources well and really covered a lot of ground!

A *must* read for traders! *AND* I was interested in

the companion CD, called the number listed on the web site

and got to speak with one of the authors! He was very helpful

and answered all my questions right away! You can’t beat

that for service with a book!

Best Book on Building Trading Strategies by Darryl
This is by far the most complete and advanced work I’ve read on the subject. However, read Robert Pardo’s “Design, Testing, and Optimization of Trading Systems” first if you are new to backtesting.
