Street Smarts

Street Smarts by Laurence A. Connors and Linda Bradford Raschke is a practical manual of short-term swing trading setups. It examines market behavior around emotional extremes and presents rules-based patterns including Turtle Soup, Fake Outs and Anti setups. Each method connects entry and exit decisions with price action, momentum, moving averages and protective stops. The book also discusses trading gaps, market tendencies across time frames and the discipline required to follow a strategy under pressure. Its organization by individual pattern makes it useful as both a study manual and a reference during trade preparation. It suits traders who already understand basic charting and want to examine specific swing trading techniques, and it connects well with our guides on chart patterns, trading psychology and risk management.
