Larry Williams is a snake-oil salesman, just like his buddies Jake Bernstein and Ken Roberts. He has made his millions selling garbage like this book, not from trading. REAL successful traders are too busy making money, and keeping their secrets to success…a secret!

I was most successful with simple mutual funds and baskets of mini-futures. I read some of this book, and William’s Batting 800, the mother of all manuals supposedly. I kind of feel like it was a waste of $200. I really don’t know what to think of Williams, thus the neutral 3-stars. He’s the toughest to scrutinize. Ryan Jones apparently thinks he’s “scary williams” with his cowboy money management style.
I am a Tradestation expert combined with years of programming and trading, passed the Merrill Lynch and Smith Barney screening exams. They should have hired me even without $40 million worth of friends, because I could help a lot of investors avoid a lot of needless stuff.
I absolutely hate Ken Robberts, Jake Burnstein, Wade Crook, and Carleton Cheets. I would never trust Robert’s character or wisdom; his stuff tests positive for maybe ten percent, forty percent of the time, maybe; But they can all say, hey it works.
I deciphered and tested a lot of clever “not a system” hype, which went right back before thirty day. William’s stuff seems the most disjointed, tougher to integrate test. He has some unique methodology and it seems to work for him successfully, but his hotline calls on about a half dozen trades scared me clean away. I’m going to integrate test him soon though, somehow, maybe combining COT or AccDis with B and C and D or E, if somebody hasn’t.
I wasted $2500 on Trade”Hype”station and another $500 on Omni”Clutz”Trader starting out. The thing is, I fully realize now there is no magic indicator, that it’s more money management or something else like personal style, but most if not all of these guys needed to shut up a long time ago.

I am a commodity trader. i have probably read just about every book ever written on the subject and have even made money using the techniques illustra ted in a few of them. Williams’ book is one them. I would if i could cut the book in half and keep the first 70 or so pages and toss the rest onto my ever growing scrapheap of commodity trading books. If you can get past the chapters on lunar cycle correlations and focus in on his study of open interest and trading ranges you will have
gained an “edge”>despite the age of the book(1974) I feel it has something valuable to offer trader at all levels. good reading and good luck!

I can’t talk about the content yet, but something is wrong with the spacing on this book. Although it doesn’t t seem to have any paragraphs missing, there are some extra spacing where only one space should be.
The most obvious example is in the chapter where the writer talks about the boats sailing and returning into harbour, with the prices going up, the second part of the story when he talks about the real reason why the sailing boats were back in the harbour, is in a completely new chapter!!!
Is this only my book?? or are all of them the same?? Would appreciate if the editors get back to me and re-send a book I will then return the copy I have.

Larry Williams’ book was something of a disappointment to me. Maybe I was expecting too much. Larry provides a great introduction to key ideas like premiums, open interest, and oscillators but sadly leaves the reader dangling. Much of the reading is more philosophical than scientific. For $50 dollars I expect details, not generalization. For example, Larry mentions that a change in open interest of 25% or more greatly excites him. A change over what time period? A day, week, what? To be fair, I’m very sure Mr. Williams is an excellent commodity speculator and very intelligent person. I just wish he would explain his ideas with a little more detail.
