John Carter's Scalper Buys and Sells

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

I'm reading Mastering the Trade by John Carter and his description of Scalper Buys and Sells seems confusing.

 

Could somebody help me understand this setup?

 

If a stock is in uptrend, do I look for three consecutive lower closes for a reversal?

If a stock is in a downtrend, do I look for three consecutive higher closes for a reversal?

I also don't understand how he "paints" the bars.

 

thank you!

Sorry, I can't answer your specific questions, but I will make a few point about his book:

 

1) I think it was well written, overall;

 

2) If you peel the onion, and look at his trading strategies in detail, you will see a lot

of unclear information (you alluded to some of it);

 

3) Several years ago, I coded up several of his strategies in Wealth Lab, and couldn't find

a method or market that made any of his strategies profitable.

 

In conclusion, just another well-written book, that makes money for the author. Just my 2 cents.
