From the Inside Flap

In their bestselling Trade Like an O'Neil Disciple, Gil Morales and Dr. Chris Kacher described their experiences working side-by-side with market legend William O'Neil and how they made a fortune using his original stock trading strategies. Now, in a book that is sure to become an overnight trader's classic, Gil and Chris arm you with a set of proven analysis techniques and trading strategies that can only be described as a quantum leap in the evolution of the O'Neil model and the CANSLIM approach to stock trading.

Frustrated by the sideways markets of the mid-2000s, as well as by what they perceived to be undue constraints inherent in the O'Neil model, the authors spent several years examining hundreds of charts and analyzing thousands of individual trades to see how they could improve on the results they had been getting using O'Neil's strategies. The outcome was a set of powerful techniques for identifying and capturing stock breakouts early in their base and riding them up for maximum profit taking.

Designed to serve as both a clear, detailed introduction to those tried-and-true techniques and the theory behind them, and a how-to guide/workbook to quickly mastering them and making them part of a customized home trading system for optimum returns in all market conditions, In the Trading Cockpit with the O'Neil Disciples:
