The value of Gary's book lies not in its complexity, but rather in its simplicity. If you're looking for the Holy Grail, you won't find it in here. Instead, you'll find a variety of simple indicators and a description of how Gary synthesizes them in order to get a feel for the market. He also cautions against trading our opinion of the market and against bucking the trend. Not exactly earth-shattering advice but believe me it is PRICELESS. These two tidbits will save you months, if not years, of aggravation.Personally, I am a visually-oriented trader that likes a somewhat mechanical approach, so reading about an intuitive/discretionary trader is very insightful. Often I'm too busy trying to pick tops and bottoms whereas Gary's approach involves observing market momentum and entering trades based on his assessment. I may have to change my approach because it's hard to argue with a track record like his.
