Trading authors are generally not profitable, but there may be exceptions. I haven't read a how-to book in ages, but the last time I heard about one it was from a salesman (broker) starting a hedge fund who at the same time launched a how-to-book for traders with the aim being to teach them how to trade. 2 years later he still haven't made a single dime in his fund. The only thing he seems to do well is that he's not blowing up. The fund will no doubt close down at some point.
Have you visited this new thread of mine? https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/chain-reaction-strategy.374876/
There is nothing new in the markets, just a new interpretation on old methods which used to sometimes be more efficient, but today are less, and if you can't proofread your content then the strategy will be a lot worse, the markets are more tuned than the public.
It would be great if you could list some real-life trading examples, so we could learn how to handle winning and losing trades. Especially if you encounter price shocks that are completely unpredictable.
I have a strange suggestion for you... https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/learn-with-the-teen.374892/
