I'm also reading "Mastering the Trade" by John Carter and "Way of the Turtle" by Curtis Faith.. I've tried many different systems and strategies but the only ones that I've actually been able to make money off of are trend-following types..
William O'Neil's How to Make Money in Stocks is one "system" for an uptrend market.
If you want to develop your own system: Van K. Tharp's SuperTrader book and others.
I've photoread and activated Tharp at the bookstore (several times, lol) and own O'Neil. O'Neil starts his book with 100 successful chart patterns from actual stocks to show how they repeat historically.
How much do I trust his material? I'm starting with 5,000 and am willing to be out of the market until the combination of his systems indicate be in the market.
