What are some useful things learned from Al Brooks price-action books?

This is very true, and this adaptation is what separates a good quant/trader from a hack

Not saying i agree with everything but some may wish to read

 

I actually have on this forum, in bits and pieces. It's the implementation that gives it life.

 

Was reading about using machine learning to improve systematic trading ...and noticed a reference to a component which I originally learned about in 1 of Brooks books.

 

SteveM,

How many trades do you backtest for statistical significance?

 

willing to give AL Brooks books for free (pdf). email me

 

@silveredge Cannot access your profile to PM you. Can you PM me instead?

 

no no no!!
I have already destroyed hundreds of worthless hard copies and soft copies already.
so no more such thing for me.

are you still around?

 

I found this thread googling for info on brooks, since there was none. Annoying that there is not some basic indicator of how successful each method is. In medical, the field he's from, all medical procedures are studied and reported on for effectiveness. True, skill varies per person, but some broad or relative level of measure is better than looking at 1000 methods and guessing.

 

What's FBOF and PB please do tell, i'm reading al brook's bar by bar book rn
