82 Rule-Based Day & Swing Trading Strategies: Momentum, Scalping, Options & Order Flow

5 — Essential Rated 0 out of 5

Not a strategy collection to admire from a distance. A structured library built to be tested against your own trading, one rule-based setup at a time.

What’s actually inside

Where book one built the foundation, candlesticks, price action, basic chart patterns, this one assumes you already have that and goes wider. Brooks moves into momentum trading, scalping, options-based setups, order flow, and a section specifically aimed at understanding the institutional strategies operating underneath retail-level charts: essentially, who’s actually on the other side of a typical trade.

The same template, 82 times over

The structural choice here is the whole point of the book. Every one of the 82 strategies is written to an identical ten-part format: entry, stop, target, the most common mistakes traders make executing it, and, unusually for this category, the mathematical reasoning behind why the setup has an edge in the first place, rather than just an assertion that it works. That consistency is what makes the book function less like a collection of tips and more like a reference table you can compare line by line.

Built to be tested, not just read

The book is explicit that you don’t need all 82 strategies. You need to find the handful that fit how you actually trade, and the uniform structure is what makes that comparison possible. It’s framed less as a finished answer and more as a starting point: whenever an unfamiliar term shows up, the expectation is that you go look it up and go deeper on your own rather than waiting for the book to spell out every adjacent concept.

A word on risk

Same caveat as book one, worth repeating here: a documented mathematical rationale for a strategy is not a guarantee it performs on any individual trade, and 82 options to choose from doesn’t mean 82 strategies worth risking real capital on without your own testing first. Treat the backtesting the book encourages as a requirement, not an optional step.

Who it’s for

Traders who've already worked through book one's foundational patterns and want a wide, directly comparable library of setups to test and narrow down to what actually fits how they trade.
