Summary

Trade Like an O'Neil Disciple Course is a step-by-step instruction guide to implementing Morales and Kacher's trading methods into your home trading system under various market conditions, written by two very successful and renown O'Neil insiders. The authors use real trades including set ups, buy, add, and sell points for both winners and losers to teach the methodology as well as help traders learn the system themselves. Real examples from their trades and step-by-step instructions teach traders how to trade like they did. Strategies they have created using the O'Neil methodology are explained in detail (for buying pocket pivots, gap-ups, and including a market direction timing model) as well as techniques for shorting stocks. This book is a hands-on guide to implementing the O'Neil trading system and generating consistent profits with hands-on examples and exercises for readers to practice before implementation. Readers can make their mistakes in the book, learn from them, and then apply the same principles and techniques to real-world markets.
