Larry Connors was a broker for Merrill Lynch in 1982. In

1987 he was earning 3 to 5 times more than almost everyone with whom he attended college. In 1987 he went to work for Donaldson, Lufkin and Jenrette. His goal was to learn how to become a professional trader. On March 4, 1994 he quit his job and became a professional trader. In the early days of trading, there were many inside methods to scalp money from the market. As computers and instant news grew, this became more difficult. This book describes the techniques that worked then and can still work today. The strategies in this book have been backtested using data from 1995 to 2007.

Quotes from the book

Слайд 4

“The one thing [professional traders] have in common is that they

know what it’s like to trade from a position of strength. Each has the institutional and floor experience to fully understand that in order to consistently make money from the market, they want to buy into the selling and sell into the buying.”

Слайд 5

“They followed their dream and have become successful because of their

brains and most importantly their tenacity.”

Слайд 6

“…the never ending challenge of figuring out a game that may

be the most complex and fascinating game in the world. It’s a game with a fixed set of rules, but with the pieces always moving.”

Слайд 7

“Philosophically, I live in a world of reversion to the mean

when it comes to trading. What that simply means is that something stretched too far will snap back.”

Слайд 8

“First we’ll look at certain behavior which is inherent in the

marketplace. …You will learn that what seems to be logical and obvious is often wrong when it comes to trading.

Слайд 9

“It’s one thing for someone to give you a handful of

rules and say “trust me, this works.”” It’s another thing to have it backed up by statistical evidence”

Слайд 10

The Chapters

Слайд 11

Think Differently Rule 1 – Buy Pullbacks Not Breakouts
After the market has

dropped three days in a row, it has risen more than 4 times it’s average weekly gain over the next five trading days.
After the market has risen three days in a row, it has on average lost money over the next five trading days.

Слайд 12

Rule 2 – Buy The Market After It’s Dropped; Not After

It’s Risen

After the market has dropped three days in a row, it has risen more than 4 times it’s average weekly gain over the next five trading days.
After the market has risen three days in a row, it has on average lost money over the next five trading days.

Слайд 13

Rule 3 – Buy Stocks Above Their 200-Day Moving Average, Not

Below

This rule is not fool-proof.
Many good stocks represent real value below the 200-day MA but it’s easier and less stressful to follow this rule.
Large losses can be prevented by following this rule.

Слайд 14

Rule 4 – Use The VIX To Your Advantage…Buy The Fear,

Sell The Greed

If SPY (or SPX) is above it’s 200-day moving average, the higher the VIX is above it’s 10-day simple moving average it’s more likely oversold and a rally is near.
The VIX 5% rule
- If 5% above it’s 10-day SMA, buy the market.
- If 5% below it’s 10-day SMA, lock in gains (and don’t buy).

Слайд 15

Rule 5 – Stops Hurt
The tighter your stops, the less

money you will make. The wider your stops, the better.
You can control losses with position size and money management

Слайд 16

Rule 6 – It Pays To Hold Positions Overnight
During the test

period, buying the SPY on the open and selling the same day’s close lost –70.88 points.
Buying the SPY on the close and selling on the open gained 171.40 points.

Слайд 17

Trading With Intra-Day Drops Making Edges Even Bigger
The greater the

intra-day momentum to the upside, the worse the performance has been over the next five days.
The greater the intra-day selloff, the better the performance over the next five days.

Слайд 18

The 2 Period RSI The Traders Holy Grail of Indicators
For stocks

above their 200-day moving average,
a 2-period RSI above 90 should not be bought.
Aggressive traders might prepare to short them.
Readings below 10 are oversold.
Readings beyond these are even better.
These were tested up to one week.
Trades held one week did better than less time.

Слайд 19

Double 7’s Strategy
If the SPY is above it’s 200-day moving average

and it closes at a 7-day low, buy.
If it closes at a 7-day high, sell your long position.

Слайд 20

The End Of The Month Strategy
For stocks above their 200-day moving

average, gains are higher on the following days of the month, in order from highest to lowest, 25, 24, 1, 27, 26, 29, 28, 30, and are lowest on 3 through 8.
If stock dropped the previous day, the best days are 25, 30, 27, 26, 24, 28, 29, 22, 1, 31.
If stock dropped two or more consecutive previous days, the best days are 25, 26, 24, 27, 30, 28, 29, 23, 1, 22, 19, 31, 18.

Слайд 21

Five Strategies To Time The Market

Слайд 22

VIX Stretches
SPY above 200-day SMA
VIX 5% or more above 10-day

MA for 3 or more days

Exit when SPY closes above a 2-period RSI reading of 65 or more.

Слайд 23

VIX RSI

Exit when 2-period RSI of SPY closes above 65.

Слайд 24

TRIN
SPY above 200-day SMA and 2-period RSI is below 50
TRIN

closes above 1.00 for three consecutive days
Buy on close
Exit on close when 2-period RSI above 65.

Слайд 25

Exit Strategies

Слайд 28

Does not like. Should sell into strength.

Слайд 29

First Up Close From Previous Day
By Larry Williams, excellent strategy

Слайд 30

Close Above A New High
A valid choice

Слайд 31

Close Above Moving Average
5-day is first choice, then 10-day MA.

Слайд 32

2-Period RSI
Closes above 65, 70 or 75.

Слайд 33

Trailing Stops
The tighter the stop, the worse the performance.
Few

stop strategies showed consistent results.

Слайд 34

Choose on exit strategy
Stay with it
Remember - the stronger the move

the more likely you want to lock in gains.

Слайд 35

The Mind

Слайд 36

You must be prepared for any situation.
You need to know how

you will react before it happens.

Know the appropriate action to take.

Have the discipline to do it.

Слайд 37

What would you do if:
You start trading a new strategy that

tested well but immediately starts losing money?

Слайд 38

What would you do if:
You start trading a new strategy that

tested well and immediately starts making big money?

Слайд 39

What would you do if:
You have lost money eight consecutive days,

you are long many positions and the market is tanking?

Слайд 40

What would you do if:
The market has one of it’s worst

months in years and so do you?

Слайд 41

What would you do if:
You are long 1000 shares, you place

an order to sell at $48, at the end of the day you realize you bought instead of sold, you are now long 2000 shares at $43?
