I couldn't figure out what the title had to do with the post the first couple of times I read it. Post it again with a more descriptive title and I'll keep all the snapple facts out this time.

As a book reviewer!

Actually, I wanted to ask about your comments regarding the code used in "Professional Stock Trading". Is the code included in the book? I have no problem with typing out a few pages of code if it'll save me $500.

What REALLY pisses me off is when authors allude to code that the reader has to buy in order to get anything out of the book.

Anyone else read this book?

What was my "old" career?

As regards to the book, I don't know if I read the fine print carefully enough, but I was lead to belive [perhaps I misparsed what was said] that the code was "included" with the book. Unsuspectingly, I bought it at Amazon [I would have just browsed the book at BN or Borders if I realized in time that there was no CD] and was confused when there was no CD on the back. I then looked for an ftp site, and that's when I was lead to the site that broke the news on having to pay $495 to save me the typing.

I buy books on trading and consider myself lucky if I get one idea out of them...

Nitro.

It looks like it might be worth picking up.

A few months back I bought a Tom Demark book and while the book was chalk full of good ideas, it was next to useless unless you bought his proprietary software. I hate making the same mistake twice.
 
I just ordered this book. Now I find out there's no code included. DAMMM:mad:

Lightning,

Some of the ideas in the book have not being covered before in other books, or perhaps in other books but never under one "roof." Playing around with the ideas in TradeStation would make it even more educational.

I would wholeheartedly recommend the book if it weren't for the gouging that you take when getting the code...

So is the code in the book and you just have to type it into Tradestation? Or is there no code at all - just concepts - and I have to rely on my own (gulp!) programming skills?

:cool:
