Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
Street Smarts
Laurence A. Connors · 1995
80/100
👍 Worth It
Connors and Raschke pack twenty genuinely distinct, testable trading strategies into this manual with enough precision that serious traders can actually implement them — the four-star rating from the Commodity Traders Consumer Report wasn't marketing hype. The 1995 publication means floor-trading specifics and some instrument details are showing their age, and this is not a beginner's resource by any stretch. For intermediate-to-advanced active traders who can sort the dated mechanics from the durable logic, it remains a reference worth owning.
