I found this book to be quite upfront and personal. I felt the author was speaking directly to me. I also felt that the knowledge I received from this book was valuable even though at the onset, I was not firm in my decision as to whether or not I had the necessary confidence to develop my own commodities future system. Krutsinger's book is about as unsophistocated as it can get, while still being rather out-of-reach for beginners. If you delight in learning new things, and if you have a keen desire to build a commodities trading system, this book is definitely for you. The fundamentals, technical indicators, possible problems, pitfalls, and the psychological consequences of developing your own system are each explained. Then you are shown how to develop your own trading system according to your wishes, your wants, your desires, your likes and dislikes. The dessert of this book is chapter 9, which includes $48,000 of trading systems, and surprisingly enough, shows you the LOGIC behind each one! If I could only purchase one book to help me develop my own trading system, it would be this one.
