    Just seen you've been a member on ET for sometime, so clearly you're not new to the trading environment. Excuse my previous post if it looked like I was talking to a new trader.....but the book recommendations still stand.

    Woodie has followers but not consistent profits

  5. Whether or not it was valid back then, you will get smoked following his footsteps in today's market.

    And I wouldn't exactly consider that a system. "I saw stocks rising out of the stinking morass of the low liquidity garbage heaps... and let it all ride on one that looked like it was breaking out on volume." Then repeated that 2 or 3 times, compounded quickly to 2 million.

    While the book is inspirational in some ways, it can also get you annihilated, if you follow it's recipes.

  6. Decided to trade the system on michael covel's book on p272

    In his backtesting it yields 11% and has a max drawdown of 38.6%. An average of 26 trades/ year.
    Am currently long spy from 141 with a stoploss at 135

    Does anyone know of a (similar) system for intraday trading?
