The 5-Day Momentum Method by Jeff Cooper

Summary

This seems to be a good mechanical system for trading stocks. Even though it was written in an entirely different market environment, Cooper’s pamphlet contains ideas that still probably work today, if used selectively. His system can now easily be backtested, and I wouldn’t be surprised if such a test would demonstrate that this is still over the long term a winning system.

Connors on Advanced Trading Strategies by Laurence A. Connors

Summary:

A decent collection of trading strategies that comes, at least in terms of trading books, at a fairly higher sticker price (close to $200 new). That does not mean that the book is necessarily overpriced. At a cost that runs less than 4 ES points, one could well use some—but not all—of the strategies here to extract far more than that from the markets. I recommend that active traders read it.

Live the Dream by Profitably Day Trading Stock Futures by Gary Smith

Summary:

The book should be seen as a classic whose advice has for the most part not survived the test of time. Smith traded both the floor S&P contract and the now-defunct “Knife” contract that was traded on the NYFE. The round-the-clock markets have forever changed the trading of the S&P, and the days of trading starting at 9:30 EST and ending at 4:15 seem quaint, as part of a simpler time gone forever.
