    Inspired my own trading system

    This book tells you how to go about defining your own 'trading strategy' or 'trading system'. It really helped me to define my own trading system, which I subsequently wrote about.

    The most inspirational chapters for me were:

    CHAPTER 9 Knowing When to Fold 'Em: How to Protect Your Capital
    CHAPTER 10 How to Take Profits
    CHAPTER 12 What Do You Mean Position Sizing? I Only Have $10,000 in My Account.

    Develop a 'safe' trading system!

    I say develop a 'safe' trading system, not because trading is risk-free, but because Dr Tharp considers how to protect against the downside risk by effective position sizing, setting stop-loss orders etc. This book does not give you a complete trading system out of the box, but it helps you develop your own.
