 Well written, very entertaining, BUT---- September 1, 2010
Austin reader
do not think that this book will make you a more successful trader. It will give you some interesting ideas to kick around in your head and try out on your own trades. The thing is, anyone, and I mean ANYONE, can do after-the-fact "prognosticating" with historical charts in hand, and then fiddle around until a "system" is found that can fit that data. Once Miner starts getting into the mathematics of his system, anyone who has a math degree or has taken higher math courses at college, will see that a little fun is afoot. It simply is "mathematical justification voodoo" at its best. To give Miner his due, he freely admits that you will never win all of the time. He even says you will most likely lose a great deal, and gives the stats on what percentage of traders go bust after just their first six months (variously 70-95%!). I was struck, about half-way through the book, that all of Miner's complicated systems analysis charts, and such, exist only to sell his software and trading services, although he comes off, in so many words, like that is not the case. I don't believe it, for one minute. He always mentions "proprietary" data analysis in his software that his company uses, and you can bet the farm that he is baiting you to pop big bucks for that. Another thing, the charts in this book are terrible, as it is tough to clearly make out, in many cases, what Miner is trying to illustrate, and they are discussed on pages other than the ones on which they appear. Talk about frustrating! In the end, this book is similar to many others. It is written by a clever guy who has taken to heart the old, familiar words of PT Barnum, which you should know, as I'm not telling you, here. You can read it, get frustrated, figure, "Oh what the heck. I'll just buy his software and let it make me millions!" BUZZZZZZ! Wrong thought. What the software will do, according to those who have bought it and discussed it online, is to relieve you of your hard-earned money, and little else. It does not, according to the same folks, give you definite entrance and exit points, at all. In closing, ponder this, as with all other folks who write these types of books, if Miner was the trading Guru he seems to come off as in this book, his protests to the contrary, why would he need to do anything other than sit at home, in his mansion, and make trades all day? With him being the absolute master of his own system, he shoud make billions, literally. He doesn't, though, from trading, and neither will you.

The book includes a two hour Video CD. The CD is an important part of the book. It includes many bar-by-bar examples of the strategies in the book. Since you do not receive the CD with the book, you are not getting the full educational experience by any means with the Kindle edition. Avoid the Kindle edition.

Very difficult to follow , leads you to think he is going to give his formula for indicator because he wants you to become a better trader , just a sales pitch.
Very practical advice August 8, 2010

I read this book and could not put it down. I have read a lot about Fibonacci, Elliot Wave, and all the other trading strategies. I think that this book provides invaluable insight to bring the strategies together in a real world way, which is what I think the intention is. If you already have a grasp of the concepts then this brings it all together and at the end of the day you can develop a solid trading plan. Very good job. It does make a lot of sense
 Compared to "Dynamic Trading" August 8, 2010

6 out of 6 found this review helpful
Some of the other reviewers wanted to know how this book compared to his previous book "Dynamic Trading" so since I have read his previous work thoroughly, I thought I would try to do that here.........
1. The authors coverage of Elliot Wave is slightly more in depth in "High Probability Trading", though you should be warned that he spends less time talking. So in his previous work he would spend 10 pages explaining one concept, but in his new book he would cover 3 concepts in 10 pages. So more concepts but less time spent trying to get the reader to understand.
2. The author left out some of the Price&Time projections in "High Probability Trading" that is included in his previous book "Dynamic Trading". I was actually really sad to see that a few of the different ways he did things was not included in the latest book, so you do have to read his first one to get all the technical analysis techniques this author has taught.
3. The author did a better job in "High Probability Trading" when he discussed how to build a trading plan. A lot of newer traders just don't know the difference between a trading plan and technical analysis. This newer book did better with less pages than his previous book did with more pages.
4. An edition to this book is the heavy use of indicators. I don't use indicators, but if you do, then here you go.
This really is a book for beginners. Those who choose to make trading a life long profession will eventually let go almost everything in this book. To not use moving averages, or trend lines, or support/resistance(Not the Fibonacci ones) is just ridiculous. The authors previous book was the first book to ever make since to me, and for that I recommend it to all new traders, but beyond that this book is just for those who aren't going to really explore all there is in technical analysis.
Some might ask why I chose to give this book 3 stars and not 5. This is because of a few reasons........
1. The author claims he gives bar be bar analysis, which he clearly does not. So don't expect in depth bar by bar analysis like you would in a candlestick book.
2. The author includes Candlestick chart with what looks like a moving average on the front cover. There is no Candle Sticks or moving averages used on the charts in this book.
3. The author is still pumping his products too much, at this point it is just bothersome.
I hope this review was helpful to you.
