Book with plethora of unique patterns and set-ups
This important book offers unique price pattern recognition and set-ups not found in trading books by any other authors. These patterns and set-ups are the direct result of John Hill's over 50 years of trading experience.
This book is currently one of the most valuable addition in my trading book library.

Actually Pretty Good
I would normally give this only 4 stars but people have been giving Mike Covells poor book on trend following 5 stars (I would give it 1) so Hill gets 5.

This is a good review of a range of approaches to the market. It also gives you (free) a number of workable systems that you would pay a lot for elsewhere.If you email them with questions they will also answer.

Their work on Commoditity Channel Index is limited but so what.I use CCI possibly in the same way that Howdy does but I dont find that missing one (of so many) ways to make or lose money in the markets is much of an issue.There are lots of great strategies in here ... look up Woodies Club on the net if you want a CCI based one as well.

Good book John.

Ultimate Rip-off
This is my first Amazon review, I just couldn't believe any reputable publisher or reviewer would embrace such a horrible book!

I am a self-taught trader of 15 years, I love reading traing books, there are currently more than 2,000 traing books in my trading library.Of all the books I have read, this is one of the worst!

The trading strategies/methods presented in this book were poorly researched and the presentation is even worse.Take the indicators section for example, the authors wrote approximately half a page about Commodity Channel Index, barely even scratched surface of this indicator, then presented a table showing their back test result on over 21 individual markets, the results indicated that 20 markets were negative and 1 was about break even.If you are unfamiliar with Commodity Channel Index indicator, you would be missled to believe it is a poor indicator based on their back testing results, but in fact, their testing was based on their incorrect interpretation of how CCI can be used as trading strategy.My onw real trading result using CCI indicator for the past two years averaged over 78% win-loss ratio; I pick CCI as an example because CCI happened to be the best indicator I know.There were just too much poorly researched information presentled in this book, it made my stomach sick when I was reading them, I couldn't help but to write this review, take it whichever way you prefer, my advice to you: run, don't walk, away from this ultimate rip-off!

Full of trading ideas
This book gets straight to the point and works almost as an encyclopedia of trading methods, theories and systems.Written by John Hill of Futures Truth fame, you would expect a lot of backtesting and system development info - which there is.As an experienced trader, I did pick up numerous new ideas that might be applicable to my own trading methods and that's really all you can really hope for in any trading book.

Some minor gripes are the somewhat lack of clarification and examples at times, relying only on a single chart for an example before moving on to the next idea.This can be quite difficult to follow for a new trader.Also, the Drummond Geometry chapter is just a verbatim article that can be found on the Tedtick webpage.

Otherwise, this is an excellent keeper book.

A Complete Insight Into The Ultimate Trading Guide
No news here. these guys are purely technical. Hill, Lundy and Hill have written their book from years of experience with mechanical trading systems that have made them highly regarded experts. In black and white, what works and what doesn't, will be made clear to the reader from the knowledge of its authors.

It is estimated that 80% of the 30 billion dollars in the managed futures industry is traded by systematic methods.It is also estimated that 80% of the traders lose money. This book was written to allow traders to recognize and exploit an edge in the markets. Examples in both the futures and securities are made to prove the authors' point.

In the beginning, there is the almighty bar chart and a whole chapter devoted to its proper interpretation. According to these guys, all you need to know is in the charts and nowhere else. And with those bar charts a very simple and complete take on the Elliot Wave Theory will demystify even the most obtuse of the technically impaired. Walk-through examples of trading styles and applications of chart patterns are engaging and relevant to all kinds of markets.

The book contains an introduction to mechanical trading systems. Tips on what to look for and where not to look for a system will be very valuable to the inexperienced. Advice on hardware, software, data and testing are also covered, making it a worthy read for anyone interested in mechanical trading.

The authors bring precious bits of wisdom with their experience. Though systems are mechanical in design, the mental toughness required to achieve success is important, and much can be learned from the experienced. Make no mistake, this book is not about easy money, but about the reality of achieving success. As the authors put it:

"There is a giant chasm between knowledge and a successful trader. Few of us are able to make the leap, and those that do must be on the alert or they will fall back into the abyss." ... Read more

An interesting theory that needs more work
This book in brief attempts to link the infamaous Elizabeth Short murder (Los Angeles, 1947), the Lipstick Murders (Chicago,1945/1946), and the Zodiac murders(San Francisco,1968/1970)to a single diabolical killer, namely author Steve Hodel's father, George Hodel.That author Hodel is a 20+ year veteran LA homicide detective helps lend his theory (or prehaps I should say theories, for there are several here all loosely fit together)an air of credibility that it might otherwise not possess had Hodel been an accountant or an engineer instead.But that said, once the book moves beyond the Short murder (to which I think Hodel makes a strong case of linking his father), the theory grows weak.Hodel struggles mightly to establish his father as both the Zodiac and Lipstick murderer, and I have to admit that his comparison of letters written by the both killers do show some surprising similarities with letters written by Elizabeth Short's killer (who was almost certainly George Hodel); but in the end the letters are all Hodel really has on which to build his circumstantial case.What's missing?Evidence that would place George Hodel in Chicago and/or San Francisco at the times of the resepctive killings in those cities.A credible explanation as to why the methods of killing changed so radically from from Short in 1947 to Zodiac in 1968. (A few reviewers here have argued that this might be due to the fact that George Hodel was twenty years older when the Zodiac murders ocurred and was thus less physically capable of the bludgeoning/stabbing/dismemberment that accompanied Elizabeth Short's murder; but this overlooks the fact that at least one of the Zodiac murders -- Cecelia Shepard -- did indeed involve a stabbing).And most obvious to me, an explanation as to why George Hodel (assuming for the sake of argument that he was in fact Zodiac) suddenly stopped killing in the early 1970s.Serial killers as a rule don't suddenly stop killing--they're either caught (for the murders they've committed or for some other crime, but either way they're put out of commission) or else they kill themselves.And, for that matter, what about George Hodel's early years?Did he abruptly start killing in his early thirties (an unusually late beginning for a serial killer) or are there other murders of his that have yet to be (and perhaps never will be)discovered?

To Steve Hodel's credit, not only does he not gloss over the weaknesses in his case, he admits to them.I take it from the note on which he ends his book that his is still a work in progress.He says he hopes that one day DNA will prove his theory right, for his own peace of mind, no doubt, as well as for the closure it might provide to those who still remember and mourn the dead.As someone who has long been interested in the Zodiac Murders, I hope so, too.Zodiac is one crime I hope to see solved in my lifetime.

Compelling read....not very convincing conclusion
This is a quick and interesting read about several unsolved (or incorrectly "solved") murders that the author strings together and lays at the feet of his father.While I did not read his first book, this book's retelling of the Black Dahlia murder convinces me that his father very likely was the murderer of Elizabeth Short.On the other hand I found very little in this book to convince me his father committed any of the other murders the author fingers him for.I would have expected a thorough time line showing where George Hodel was when each crime was committed and how the author(s) know that.Absent any real proof that his Dad was in Chicago during the crimes the author attributes to his Dad or in San Francisco during the Zodiac killings, the rest of the crimes remain unsolved in my mind. There are some interesting coincidences, (i.e. letters tovarious newspapers that bear some resemblance to each other) that may point to the same person as killer...and that person may be his father....but then again it could all just be coincidences tied together with "facts" that the author wants to use to prove his point, while discarding any other "facts" that would point in a different direction.The most obvious "fact" that S. Hodel seems to constantly skim over is that the murder victims and the method of killing vary so widely, and that is not usually the case with serial killers.

Enjoyable-- but I don't buy alot of it
I am reading this book now and I am thoroughly enjoying it, as I did with Steve Hodel's fist book, the Black Dahlia Avenger. I bought the first book's premise hook line and sinker. I believe that George murdered the Black Dahlia, but I am having a hard time with much of the murders in this book. I can maybe buy the fact that he murdered those people in Chicago (although I would have been more inclined if Steve could have proved that his Dad was in Chicago at all during these times). I can also maybe buy the fact that he killed that woman in Manila. But there is no way in this world that George Hodel was the zodiac killer. Other than finding the hood that the Zodiac used during one of his crimes or part of Paul Stine's shirt in George Hodel's things, I will not be convinced. I think the 2 men that survived the Zodiac attacks would have known if the man was over 60. Yes George might have been in great shape, but you can't make a man of 60+ seem like a man of 25-35. It just doesn't work that way-- people are not that far off in their witness accounts. As far as I can tell, all Steve has to prove his case is a handwriting sample saying maybe or "probable" and the fact that George wore baggy pants. This isn't enough in my book.

I would have preferred this book to go further into what Steve thinks caused his father to be this way. There had to be something that created this aberration of a personality. Lets hear more from his friends and the family members as far as what the man was like and what made him tick-- that would have been super interesting. I just think Steve is way off on alot of his theories.

review of most evil
I found the book Most Evil to be a really good sequel to Steve Hodel's Black Dahlia Avenger book.There is a lot more information and a compelling case is made that Dr. George Hill Hodel has killed many more people in California and the Orient.One of the compelling arguments is the handwriting of the notes submitted to the San Francisco Chronicle newspaper.The handwriting does NOT match the main suspect for the Zodiac killings - Arthur Leigh Allen although Arthur may have actually committed the murders, the notes seem to have been written by Dr. George Hodel.I feel that Dr. Hodel, in his later years was the mastermind behind many of the Zodiac murders, but that he always had at least one or more Assistants to these various crimes.I found this to be an excellent book and very well researched in the methodical manner of Steve Hodel's first book, the Black Dahlia Avenger.He uses classic crime solving techniques used everywhere in police work always relying upon evidence.This is a very good book.I recommend it for anyone interested in the Black Dahlia murder case of Elizabeth Short in Los Angeles, California and anyone interested in true crime and the Zodiac murders.

Good Read
I read Steve Hodel's 1st book and was absolutely convinced regarding his theories and looked forward to reading this as well.It too was very good, but not as convincing.Regardless of my level of conviction, it was entertaining and I wound up finishing it in a day and a half as I could not put it down. ...

Use with the text
This handbook is only for the companion with the textbook, not a systematic introduction in SAS. If your teacher use "Learning and Practicing Econometrics" for text, you should get this handbook. This handbook definitely help you in getting good grade and femiliar with SAS by practicing. However, it means this book is nearly useless if you do not have the text.

Very good
I have read both hardcover texts by these authors (Undergraduate Econometrics & Learning and Practicing Econometrics)This book follows very closely with the examples presented in the textbook.Unfortunately the book doesn't go into more advanced topics(eg. Poisson, Negative Binomial...).Comparing it to other books, it is much easier to read than Green's Econometric Analysis, but does not go into the greater depth of topics as Green. IMO it helped me learn SAS quite a bit. Four months ago I had no idea how to use it.

Econometrics and SAS were meant to be together
I thought that this manual really helped me in my job.It was a great aid to the knowledge that I already had about SAS and has been a wonderful resource for me. ... Read more
