Customer Reviews

Excellent work
This book was a surprise after reading over 50 books on the subject I was amazed that i didn't even know some of the types of charts used in this book and there were many. It contains a good point and figure section for people new to point and figure for forex. They also have detailed lists of setups and there relavant probabilities of success/failure of each variation. It also contains the actual trading system of veteran futures guru Charles Goodman and I beleive it is the only book to do so.
