Rating: - Deceiving name
As a software engineer I needed a book that will teach me some trading strategies that I can program and bought this book hoping to find a list/ideas of trading strategies, as you expect from Encyclopedia. Unfortunately this is the most not practical book I have ever read, if you think you'll be able to trade after reading this book you're wrong!
It has academic theoretical discussions about trading systems by testing the most simple and basic setups just to tell you that they don't work if ... Read More

Rating: - Review of simulation results
This book provides an overview on the type of strategies available and shows the results done on the different strategies. For system developers it is useful to know that most strategies - pure trending, oscillators etc do not perform well at all!
What is lacking is a more thorough analysis of the different methods. Overall a useful book which highlight the pitfalls which system developers will fall into.

Rating: - A good starting point for a systems trader
The book should be compulsory reading for any aspiring systems trader.
The testing methodology is thorough, and they cover many of the more common approaches to systems trading as well as a few that many will find a tad too esoteric. My only complaint is that the book could present us with more detailed stats on the tested systems. In e.g Way of the turtle (a much less comprehensive text) the author does an excellent job of presenting stats on any tested system, including a number of important ... Read More

Rating: - I liked, but it could be better
I liked this book.
it presented many ideas and a right pragmatic approach to test a trading system.
I found tough the statistics part, but it's not an author's fault: it's statistics.
in the final part I found many repetition (many pages might be saved just writing: " hey, for this system we apply the same said at pag. xyz..").

Only two things remained a mistery to me (but I'm not much intellingent..): why didn't the author make any test for longer horizons? in the end, ... Read More
