Trading Systems That Work: Building and Evaluating Effective Trading Systems [Stridsman, Thomas] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Trading Systems That Work: Building and Evaluating Effective Trading Systems

Review: Excellent Seller and book! - Excellent Seller! This is a great book. It is a little hard to follow b/c the author (IMO) is a brilliant code writer, but the book is a bit disjointed. My opinion is it would be better to tell us JUST what works and not lots of info and methods that don't. That's just me though. Mr. Stridsman goes into great detail regarding the methods that DO NOT work and why. Interesting, but I would rather him just say, "I've tested this, and it doesn't work". For a "coder", I imagine this book would be fabulous. The book is still excellent- you just have to VERY carefully sift through lots of thoughts and ideas to pick out the real "brass tacks". The code is written for TradeStation, and will have to be "tweaked" due to the age of the book. That can be a difficult task unless you are very good with "coding".
Review: Hard work that is worth it - I didn't find this book all that well written. There were errors and inaccuracies in it, and it's logic was somewhat asystematic and protracted. However, it was worth the fight and I learnt things that I have not found elsewhere (at least yet). I would not use the book as an automatic formula for how to design trading systems. However, its overall approach was a good one and I will probably use several of the principles in it to design my own systems. Of course this book is now out of date, and the markets have evolved considerably. Computers are also much more powerful and the speed with which one can assess the effects of changing each parameter are also a lot better. It was a frustrating read in many ways but worth the effort none-the-less.
