Rationality and Realism
I am writing from Italy and I bought a lot of books about day trading. I read Clayburg interview on the issue of December of Tasc and I was striken by his words.
In particular way I appreciated the rationality and realism he shows towards the market, and the way he is at the same time easy to understand while being technical, precise and effective in creating this system trading. An interesting tool for everyone who uses normal indicators as stochastic, Rsi and William's %R. With studies about Support and Resistence. Nothing more nothing less. This is a "standalone" book, the first i think: you don't need to buy others seminars, software or to subscribe to newsletters, chat rooms and give other money away.

Interesting, but system doesn't work well
Well, I enjoyed the book immensely, and liked the author's concept of the Directional Day Filter. Anyway, he bases his entire system on breakouts against the trend. Using my live market feed, I automated his rules to a letter via a homegrown app, and my losses mounted by the day. I implemented his definition of Support and Resistance, and whenever I broke through these levels, and the appropriate stochastic indicators indicated that I buy or sell, I would buy or sell short appropriately, and the stock would invariably reverse shortly thereafter. His mechanism was not reliable at all. To the contrary, you can get some good info from his book, and trade of support and resistance levels by themselves, reversing position when these respective levels are hit. This makes entirely more sense, and will allow you to profit consistently, contrary to what the author stipulates.
