Definitely not a "how to" book

After listening to the first 11 chapters, and finding out that the remainder of the book was merely more interviews and research notes, I realized that this is another typical book from Michael Covel. I have listened to three of his books. They are all entertaining, but not informative. This one is no exception. It is not a how-to book. If you are looking for a book to show you how to do Trend Trading, look elsewhere. If you are looking for a book that entertains you about Trend Traders and their successes, read all of the books by Jack Schwager instead. They are much more entertaining, and they don't pretend to try and position themselves as instructive.

Seminal trend following tome

Excellent overview of trend following practitioners and hours of interviews with the subjects in the book at the end.

How to beat the press and make money.

I reviewed a user comment earlier. In retrospect if you read the book and listen for the knowledge it's there. If you wanna hand holder of the century and be pat on your head and kissed by the fed , you're reading the wrong text. When you buy the flagship. You still have to think and mathematic your system through its bumps and curves and find what work for you. By the way , you are the creation to refine. Not trading. So cut short your loss and let your winners run on , for infinity. It'll always make your life better.

Very educational and interesting

Loved it and highly recommend it to anyone thinking about trend trading. Five stars and beyond

Good Timing From Me

Man, I really needed to listen to this great book at this very moment now.

Unable to Finish

I was unable to finish this book. the narrator was great and the content was as expected if I had read the overview of the book before purchasing.

Refreshing

Excellent narration peppered with some humor with intriguing insight from the author and his guests.

A must losen

This is a must read for every Trader in financial markets. It will change your life as a Trader

Great book, must read

This is a simple yet very effective book. It dives into the characteristics of trend following and has interviews with top trend followers. A life time worth of lessons are in this book.

Boring!

it's a waste of time if you want to learn something. It's just an advertising for trend following with no real content.
