66/100
👎 Skip It
Covel makes a real and defensible case that price momentum is an exploitable market phenomenon, and the trader profiles are accessible and engaging. But serious reviewers have concluded the book is long on advocacy and short on practical instruction — and it leans on trader quotations in place of original analysis. A decent introduction to the idea, not a how-to guide.
