Futures I Trade Show & Brooks Book

brownsfan019 · #1 05-20-2009, 01:23 PM

The Futures I-Trade Show is currently going on and a presenter there is Al Brooks. I think there might have been a discussion about his ideas on here.

While clicking around, I found that he has a book for sale now as well. I have it on order to take a look at it.

These online events are very convenient and could offer some ideas.

I've not read his book. But I did see another presentation by him a few weeks back. It was really interesting. He describes himself as a minimalist: Trading from a 15 inch laptop, 5-minute candles and no indicators other than trendlines (if I remember correctly).

If I dig it up I'll upload the video. I'm also looking forward to watching his latest presentation later this week.

Take a peek under the video directory for an Al Brooks presentation (.mov format) from a few months back. This was from another Futures I Trade Show. I'll post a link when I have the latest video available.

I have his book and is reading it the second time now. There is some valuable information in it, but the book is reading very difficult. He is talking about patterns early in the book which he only explains in later parts of the book. He also explains many things without showing a chart or picture for more clarification, so it is a bit difficult at times to really folllow what he is saying. When you read the book the 2nd time, things make a little more sense and I still think this is a pretty good book.

I get the impression that he really is a trader unlike so many other people writing books and knows what he talk about, but is maybe not that great a teacher or explaining concepts. On the other hand, I could be just a bit slow and take a little bit longer to grasp things, which is probably the more likely explanation.

Hello Swan,
I registered for the I show and watched the Al Books new presentation called A Month of Great Trades.
Hopefully you are registered at the show too and can upload the new video on the thread that has the other Brooks video. I don't have the recording software myself to do it. If you need the I show link I can get it for you.
Thanks
Roger

Yes, I was registered and did record it. I have yet to watch it. The video (.mov file) is uploaded and you can find it here under the video folder.

Al Brooks is a pure Price Action Trader. and the Book Is All about Price Action.

The I -trade show will be archived till Aug.

I have the book and would agree that it is hard to read. But the information in the book is priceless. Trading is hard and it will take hard work to become profitable at it. maybe when some others get the book we could start a discussion going over the book and Price action.

I think you could find the hole book online if you search for it. But I would just buy the book from amazon ($47) and read the first 50 pages while you wait to get it. I would think you are going to have the read the book at least 3 times any way.
