A nice little book that gives a concise overview of some usual trend following signals and backtested results. Maybe, not the first book you would start with if you are into the trend following world, mainly, due to lack of more explanations and examples. Anyway, it is worth reading if you got an extra hour and are curious about Steve's style.

Not bad, not great.
Limited in scope, which is what you’d expect given the price.
However I was a bit disappointed with the repetitive nature of the text. The different MA signals each in its own chapter with the same paragraphs comparing to the S&P could have been done with a table and one chapter imo.
For the price, this book has a good RvR

Great Investing Book
Very simple and effective. This book was meant to give regular people actionable strategies to help beat the market but also to minimize downside risk: it is definitely worth a read!

Moving averages
Nice beginner basics on moving averages for stock investing. Ride the up trends longer, and cash out early in down trends. Quick read too.
