His odyssey is poignant and funny, harrowing, and altogether human. His trials will strike familiar chords with anyone who has ever traded a market, and his tribulations will similarly enrich the reader. This book is for anyone who appreciates honesty over hype.

Short-Term Trading With Price Patterns (208 pages, $49.95 hardcover, 2000, ISBN 0934380600), by Michael Harris, published by Traders Press. There were two objectives in mind when this book was written: to provide futures traders with specific trading systems, and to provide a methodology to employ these systems in systematic trading. Both of these elements working in synergy are required to win in futures trading. A skilled trader uses a trading methodology to take advantage of this prospect in a way that is appropriate, and is consistent with the requirements of the trading system in use. The global financial system is a very complex, dynamic process. It seems difficult for even the most well-educated, well-trained human minds to predict the movement of capital in a way that will lead to systematic gains. This book attempts to deal with the nature of the futures markets by adopting a short-term trading approach based on historical price patterns that can be easily programmed into a computer and monitored daily.
