This is one of the best overall trading books that I have read.
In New Trading Systems and Methods, Perry J. Kaufman gives you unlimited access to everything you need to know--which trading systems work best in specific markets, techniques for controlling losses, internal strategies for overcoming the danger of emotions--to make an exceptional living on the frontlines of professional trading.
Useful Book, Outstanding For Tradestation January 15, 2008
Norman (Virginia United States)
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
Certainly not a How-To book but a compendium of trading methods, strategies, etc. This book covers everything from trading using standard methods such as moving averages to exotic methods such as planetary alignment. I use this as a reference book rather than a book to read cover to cover. The beginner may be overwhelmed with the quantity of material but well rewarded with such topics as Unexpected Price Shocks, which I have rarely seen covered. This book is extremely valuable for Tradestation users like me who aren't the best programmers. Trying something from the book couldn't be easier. The techniques import directly from the DVD into Tradestation. As a warning to readers not using Tradestation you are on your own. Some of the techniques use complex code so they would be difficult for many of us to implement on our own.
Best Compilation of Trading Systems November 19, 2007
thethinman (Naples, Florida USA)

I've read this book thoroughly, and have found it invaluable in my own approach to trading, and in understanding the many approaches to trading and the markets in general.
BTW I have no connection with the author whatsoever, but I do have a deep appreciation for the amount of time and effort required to write a book of this magnitude. It is, perhaps, the most comprehensive book available on trading methods.
My copy is stuffed with pieces of paper that mark particularly valuable information. From market basics and charting, to fractal analysis and portfolio allocation with a genetic algorithm, the book covers practically every aspect of trading methodology. The breadth of coverage is just incredible.
There are sets of rules for William Dunnigan's Thrust Method, trading rules for gaps, Eugene Nofri's Congestion-Phase System, Tom Demark's Sequential, Raschke's First Cross, to name just a few. The list goes on and on, and is far too extensive to mention here. Many gems are hidden between the very clear and concise explanations which prepare the reader for the more complex trading methods.
If you're not familiar with trading systems and are just looking for a set of simple, step-by-step rules that will make you a lot of money in the market, then you don't need this book - you need sympathy. No book will deliver that, but many will promise to. The traders that you will be up against could be the ones that will find this book invaluable. Good luck, anyway! (You'll need it!)
If you have some experience studying the markets and are interested in an excellent overview of the most popular trading methods, and a few esoteric methods that are not easy to locate elsewhere, then this is an excellent book for that purpose, in fact, the best I've found. Even one of the methods is well worth the price, and the code on the CD-rom is a bonus.
I've often asked myself why someone would put in the vast amount of work required to write a comprehensive work on trading methods. The amount of time and effort required to compile a book of this magnitude must be truly mind boggling. His pay must come out to something like a penny an hour, if that! LOL
Obviously, it's the author's passion to find, understand and explain trading methods! And he is an expert at it. My hat's off to you, Perry! Job well done!
Excellent material in 4th edition May 12, 2007

Similar to many traders who own Perry Kaufman's 3rd edition of New Trading Systems and Methods, I ignored the publication of the 4th edition. Well, such oversight was my loss. Even a quick perusal of the work reveals a wealth of new ideas, techniques, and concepts. Kaufman offers ample inspiration for exploring trading problems in a new light.
Kaufman's encyclopedic coverage is unique. The 3rd edition contains 700 plus dense, fast paced material. The current edition adds another 500 pages of new and revised material. Each topic is examined with care; Kaufman has an ability to focus on the key concepts and omit the fluff. His presentation assumes a sophisticated, intelligent reader with solid software development, testing, and trading skills. Sloppy readers, clumsy testers, undisciplined `traders' will complain that this is not a `trading war stories book'--such complaints are correct; this is a trading SYSTEMS and METHODS handbook.
The book binding has a problem. At 1,200 pages, the adhesive binding is falling apart. This book requires either sewn through or over-sewn type binding. Shame on John Wiley for such embarrassing production quality!
