 Fantastic Trading Software, 2008-07-14
I've been trading the ART software for almost five years and have found it to be the easiest to use of all the technical analysis systems I've tested. What helps me is that the software gives me entries and exits plus risk control. Other approaches would give me entries -- but then didn't always have clear exit signals before I placed my trade. Problem with that for me is that there wasn't a way to calculate the trade size -- since I didn't have an exit selected prior to my entry. The other aspect of the ART software is that it has voice technology so I can work on other things while I'm waiting for my entry or exit. There's no chance of missing the signal because a voice comes on that says "Pyramid Trading Point Entry NOW". Of course the ART book has tons of material on how to use the ART software system -- but it's also got a strong foundation in all the areas needed for success including money management, trading psychology, risk capital, etc. Meaning -- it's not a total loss if you don't end up using the software when you are done with the book.

 Buy the book only if you are buying the Software, 2008-06-16
What I liked about the book is that it covers all the various aspects of trading, from psychology to money management and explains the true realities of the markets which are price and volume. In his book, McDowell does not lull readers into thinking ART is a "get rick fast" trading system and instead instills the notion of strict risk control and discipline, essentially helping readers to learn how to trade in a market where odds are against traders.
The down side is that the trading ideas in the book are applicable for his software only. Therefore unless you purchase the software, the majority of the book is pretty much just nice to read but not that useful.

Read The Book, Learn The Method, Apply The Concepts and Enjoy It, 2008-04-29
If you are a novice trader you can really benefit from Bennett McDowell's methodical approach to trading explained in "The ART of Trading". If you are an experienced trader and open to new ideas, this book can give you a new edge.
Bennett McDowell's method helps the trader add structure to his/her trading skills. The book also addresses the power of psychology. How everyone reacts to the financial market is a function of their psychology and Bennett McDowell helps us discover that dimension.
What I also liked about "The Art of Trading" is that Bennett McDowell does not promise the reader the Holy Grail with a "get rich quick" type of recipe. Trading needs to be treated with the utmost discipline, rigor, passion, and needless to mention lots of work. Trading is like playing a musical instrument. The more you play and practice, the more you learn, the better you perform.
This book and Bennett's approach to trading has helped me improve my trading skills and has given me the peace of mind that I need to become a better trader.

Explains a proven method for success in the stock market, 2008-04-29
This book is very detailed and through and explains the value of how price and volume are the true realities of any market. I learned a great deal about the benefits of technical analysis and how to apply it. As an investor, the ART Software helps to identify trending markets and identifies buying opportunities, as well as, when the trend has finished and it is time to sell. Using risk control and how to apply it is also explained with clarity and detail. I learned a great deal from this book and therefore I highly recommend it.
