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.

Hi everyone, My first post on this board. Although a couple years late to this thread, I found Carter's book extremely interesting, easy-to-read, and chock-full-of-information. I've backtested and attempted to trade several of his plays, all to no avail. I think that there is more than meets the eye. His plays are certainly not the Holy Grail, but I guess, should be used as a basis for developing a sound trading system. In any event, best to all trading !
