Larry Williams’ Long-Term Secrets to Short-Term Trading, Second Edition (2012 hardcover with dust jacket) is the dog-eared playbook that seasoned swing- and day-traders keep within arm’s reach. In 300 information-dense pages, Williams distills four decades of live-market experience into repeatable setups, exact entry/exit rules, and the risk-control formulas that turned him into one of the most quoted names in futures trading. This is not a beginner’s glossary; it is a step-by-step blueprint for capturing 3- to 10-day moves in stocks, options, and futures while still protecting capital when markets go sideways.
What separates this second edition from the 1999 original is the complete recalibration for modern volatility: new chapters on micro-contract sizing, after-hours gaps, and high-frequency noise, plus updated performance tables that show how the classic %R oscillator and “Oops” entry still outperform when paired with contemporary filters. Readers get downloadable code for TradeStation and MetaStock, so they can plug Williams’ indicators straight into their charts and test the logic in minutes rather than days. The hardcover binding and thick, gloss-coated dust jacket mean the book survives constant flipping and annotation—exactly what active traders need when every second counts.
This particular copy carries yellow highlighting on at least 27 key pages and a few marginal notes from a working trader, so the most profitable passages are already flagged for you. A tight, square spine and crisp dust jacket keep the reference value high, while the cosmetic surface tear on the inside front cover is purely aesthetic—no loose pages, no odors, no warping. The handwritten inscription adds a personal touch, turning the book into a conversation piece for your trading desk rather than just another mass-market text. For investors who want battle-tested tactics from a market legend—and a copy that shows it has already helped someone else make money—this highlighted, inscribed second edition is ready to earn its keep on your shelf.
