"Your book will be my bible... Thanks for sharing your knowledge." D.H.
"Having recently purchased your book on swing trading I would just like to say - 'absolutely outstanding'. After 3 yrs of studying the main indices and indicators in an attempt to find a successful method of short term trading, and also driving myself half mad in the process, not to mention near bankrupt, I have now glimpsed the light at the end of a very dark tunnel, thanks to your excellent book." M.D.
"I thoroughly enjoyed your book, very readable. It's all so plausible, I am absolutely hooked. Congratulations on its publication." B.H.
"A very interesting and helpful book." R.P.
"I have invested in shares for many years and with the recent markets found it best to take profits when and if they occur. I have never dealt other than in shares on the long side, however ,after reading your excellent book I would be most interested in your comments regarding use of covered warrants to trade swing charts, in particular the FTSE on the short side." D.C.
"Having read your excellent book 3 times, I feel confident enough to try swing trading." L.E.
"I am currently over half way through your book on Swing Trading and am enjoying it very much. Apart from the technical aspects I appreciate the clear, concise and sober language used - so refreshing after a year of reading mainly US books which are so often over sensationalised either by the author or publisher." F.Y.
"I read Swing Trading over Xmas, and would like to say how much I have enjoyed it. It is very articulately explained, beautifully presented and enjoyable to read. Thanks for writting it; I am going to look very closely at your method. I hope there will be another book soon." S.Y.
"Just a quick thankyou for your reply re. my queries regarding points & figure box sizes, etc. ,your comments were very helpful. Your methods have nicely captured the recent falls on the FTSE 100 and Dow,which has given me a nice return!! Once again many thanks for the book and your advice.Your methods have already improved my trading drastically and given me a logical and profitable way of trading the markets." R.S.
"Your swing-trading method as outlined in your book, which I admit I rushed through, is exactly the kind of simple, structured approach I am looking for. I got the book on Tuesday, finished it on Friday and now I'm going through it again at a slower pace. I wanted to thank you for the excellent book and the beautifully simple approach that you have outlined." J.S.
"I have read your book a few weeks ago and it's great, congratulations. It really helps me and changed the way I look to a chart." P.V.
"After several weeks reading you have succeeding in converting me from a LTBH diehard to a person whose quest has become a proficient swing trader over time. Some of the reasons why - the degree of frankness that permeates your book. - refreshing omission of investment-environment clich's. - lucid with select sprinklings of humour - subjectively now : the lovely, tasteful print, quality of paper and overall feel of the book How you ever found time to write your book, delivered to its readers with panache, I do not know. You deserve success from it." S.G.
"I would just like to say thank you for publishing your Swing Trading book and updating your web site with the latest trends. I have found this particularly useful in understanding the concepts outlined in the book, which I have read approximately four times now and is a constant companion." I.O.
"What has really impressed me with swing is how easy clients find it to understand - one remarked to me that it was "obvious" once pointed out (referring to the underlying psychology of the market)." E.C.
"The book itself is very accessible and well written." P.R.
"I am largely a self taught private investor in equities for 10 years, and turned to the Liffe option market 18 months ago mainly selling calls and puts on about 20 stocks. Whilst I have been on technical analysis courses and read the books, the section on RSI in your book has rung a big bell with me, and I would have saved several thousand if your points had been with me over the last few years. It is the way you prented and RSI concept giving precise examples which helped clarify the importance of this indicator!! Thus I consider the price of your book a bargain. I am thus very motivated to get to grips with the other sections of the book." P.R.
The following comments were all received by Marc Rivalland without being solicited by either him or the publisher:
"Mark Rivalland bring amazing new insight, clarity and refinement to age old Gann swing charts. His methodology of combining Gann swing charts and point and figure charts is consistent with the principle of confluence in technical analysis." - Ashwani Gujral, author of How to Make Money Trading Derivatives
'Marc Rivalland makes a potentially difficulty subject easy to read with great charts and descriptions and lots of examples. The sections on Point & Figure are first class and he so often strikes cords that many a trader will relate to. If you decide to read one new investment book this year, this should be the one!'
