I may buy the book Pivots, Patterns, and Intraday Swing Trades: Derivatives Analysis with the E-mini and Russell Futures Contracts Wiley Trading Series, 2014 by M. William Scheier The first chapter and table of contents is available at the book site http://www.wiley.com/WileyCDA/WileyTitle/productCd-1118775791.html . The Amazon reviews are pretty good. Can anyone comment on this book or recommend another one for intraday S&P trading? I have successfully traded mean reversion systems on the S&P with holding periods averaging about 3 days and would like to investigate shorter-term systems.
I don't know about the book itself, but Amazon is killing Wiley publishing house. I checked 2 books and Amazon was much cheaper and some books can be even rented, if you are not sure about owning it. Amazon's ebook is $42 compared to Wiley's $53, but for $22 you can rent it, and decide later if you want to own it or not... So what is $22 nowadays???
Save your money. go find an instructor and take lessons. He recommends using 1 min chart is wrong, worst thing u can do.
