Well no, I am halfway through David Graeme-Smiths e-book "Short Swing Trading" after 1½ hours. Actually I´m halfway through Chande´s book too, and that has taken me weeks because it´s full of examples that I´ve also tried to code for Amibroker, beeing a brand-new user. I see Chandes trading systems as examples to understand how to develop and test trading systems, not as examples of winning trading systems as such. After having read at least 30 of the current books on technical analysis I thing his text is one of the best.
