Second edition. The proven system of trade—based on Structural Target Patterns (ST Patterns)—presented in this book is able to bring a monthly profit equal to +100% or more (on average) of the deposit amount. To be successful in today’s Forex, Futures, Stock Indices, Commodities and other liquid markets, most of the knowledge and trading techniques accumulated over the last two centuries are not needed at all. The technical portion of a profitable trading system only needs to include the ST Patterns method. This method of assessing market movements by using target models gives traders clear and unambiguous signals regarding their actions in the present moment. The graphic figures presented here build upon each other iteratively to create a clear picture of market conditions. Unlike the claims of the most popular technical and fundamental analysis methods, the trading system in this book does not predict market behavior. I no longer need any predictions about prices because their movements have become obvious to me. Following the ST Patterns strategy, managing trading positions becomes simple. It took me many years to establish and improve this trading system, and now it is ready to be used by you. I believe that, at the very least, this book can save traders’ time and money. You can spend a whole lifetime in search of the Holy Grail, but it is possible to solve the problems associated with trading in just a few days. The present determines the future! Opportunities to use ST patterns are included in the free preview of the first pages of this book and on my website.P.S. The month following the book’s «Trading Code is Open» publication perfectly demonstrated the possibilities of using the trading system and showed how almost half of the ST Patterns published in this book operate in practice. The technical analysis presented in «Forex Strategy: ST Patterns Trading Manual, EUR/USD Chart Analysis Step by Step, 300% for One Month» book, based on accurate calculations, will help traders consolidate the acquired knowledge, and to increase their own skills with Structural Target Patterns. The study of the GBP/USD pair will help readers understand the importance of determining periods of market uncertainty in a timely fashion. To demonstrate the flexibility of the strategy settings and the formation of short-term uncertainty periods, the EUR/USD pair is shown on five-minute charts in one working day. For nine hours of work, the result was approximately + 82% of the initial deposit. Review: A real systematic approach to Pattern Trading - I bought three books from this author to fully understand the ST Patterns strategy, and I’m glad I did. The concepts build on each other, so reading more than one really helps connect the dots and understand how the full structure works across different market conditions. What I found most valuable is the systematic approach: clear pattern definitions, precise entry and exit rules, and a strong focus on risk management and position sizing. The charts and examples make it easier to recognize setups in real time. This isn’t vague theory, it’s a rule-based framework you can actually test and apply. If you’re serious about learning a structured, disciplined trading methodology, this series is worth studying. Highly recommend. Review: The Near Perfect System - I do not feel it can get any better - This book fully past my best expectations and as such I fully recommend this book and the other three books in the series. When I purchased this book, I thought I was simply purchasing a Trading System. But after reading the book several times along with Vladimir’s other three books, it became apparent that I got something greater than a trading strategy, I received a totally new way of looking at the market. The reading and understanding of this book i liken as to receiving night vision glasses in the middle of the night. My view of the market, before my enlightenment I gleaned from the material of this book, was like me viewing the market at mid night with no light. For the first time, I am able to see and hear and understand the market whispers as it quietly communicates to us the Traders. We as the traders, hearing and understanding this language will lead to us getting clear precise positive signals from the market so we will be able to respond in the proper fashion. Vladimir's support is second to none. In his books and on his website, he provides an email so that any reader of his book can reach him if there are questions. When I saw that, I thought that once an email had been sent to him, he would eventually get around to answering it in week or so. I kid you not, I sent Vladimir a few emails and they were all answered and all my issues and questions were properly addressed right away. After reading the book several times and studying the charts, it has become abundantly clear to me that mostly everything I have learnt concerning trading is now obsolete. I have deleted all of my other trading templates and indicators that I will no longer need from my trading platform. We must invest the time to understand and learn what is being shared by Vladimir in his books. But, once you get a full understanding, the sky is the limit. You will be able to trade with confidence, no fear and knowing and understanding you will lose some trades but loosing without losing your account. Your expectancy will be positive once you properly follow the system rules. Finally, built into the system is a very simple and very effective money management system. This too, is different than most money management systems. The reliability of the systems once one is able to interpret the market language properly, will allow us to grow in confidence thus giving us as traders a greater risk tolerance knowing that we should possibly have no need to replenish our account because of heavy losses. I look to update this review after a few months of trading to share my results which I am fully convince will be positive

A practical outlining of a thoroughly developed and documented technical trading strategy
This might be a longish review, so as a summary I will say that this is an excellent book outlining a thoroughly developed and documented technical trading strategy. I’m happy to give my recommendation for this book. As a fuller review, I can say I have been poring over this book and the strategy that it explains for about two months. Unlike many books about trading, the author doesn’t waste time telling us his life story or giving high-level advice that most people already know or isn’t actionable and detailed enough to actually implement. This book is exactly the opposite. The author spends a few paragraphs explaining his philosophy on trading, which helps to explain why the strategy is designed the way it is. The rest of the book is almost like a technical manual — a deep dive in to exactly how the strategy works and how to make trading decisions based on objective, technical criteria. It’s written in a way so that a trader can understand it and use it to start making trading decisions. Not only that, the author shares many of is own trading results, charts, and decisions that can be backtested to see that the strategy does work as described. The author invites us to contact him directly with any questions or comments about the strategy. I wasn’t sure he would actually be available, especially since the book was published years ago. To my considerable surprise, he has been fully available, gracious with his time and knowledge, and happy to answer even my most basic questions about his work. I highly recommend this book, which is a bargain at this price, to anyone interested in an innovative and complete technical trading strategy. I plan to read and practice the entire 4-book series and will be leaving reviews for each of the books in the set for anyone who is interested.

Great Book and this works
I originally bought this book when covid had hit and I was trying to find a side income stream. Honestly I was so new to forex trading I did not understand a lot of it. Now after a few years trading forex and looking to get consistent gains I went back and re-read Book 1,2 and 3 and then read them again taking notes. Then backtested. This still works, yes takes some practice to get some of the more nuanced parts down but the algorithm is sound. Start with Book 1 then I highly recommend Book 2 and 3. You really need all 3 books but this is a cheap investment. And start with book. I also have book 4 but that particular book is more focused on scalping which I just found was not really where I felt comfortable. This is a good strategy but give yourself some time and practice to master the steps, but it really is not that hard.

I'm confused as to how a "system" like this could be profitable
It's based on using "fractals" to enter either long or short, with a fractal being defined as 3 bars, the center of which has a higher high than the bar on the left or the bar on the right for an "up" fractal, or a lower low in the center bar for a "down" fractal. And once you see an "Up" and a "Down" fractal, you're supposed to go long when price breaks above the top of the "Up" fractal plus a specified number of pips, or go short if it breaks below the down fractal by the same number of pips. Seriously. That's all required to decide to risk your money going long or short as I understand it. Then you set two price targets based on the difference in width between the top of the "Up" fractal and the bottom of the "Down" fractal, multiplied by percentages. And you set a stop at the low of the 'Down" fractal for longs and the top of the "Up" fractal for shorts. When I wrote an indicator that plotted these fractals and plotted the targets, and then looked at my charts, it seemed to me that using this "system", I would have been stopped out far more often than hitting even if the first target, and the second target seemed very hard to hit indeed. The author and I believe several fans of the system here said the magic of the system is not in the method chosen to enter a trade (and I can see why they'd say that), but in the targets. But I don't see anything special about the targets either, they're simple percentages. And I see the statement made in these reviews about how "I don't have to pick a direction anymore", well the only way you make money trading is to pick a direction, and setting price targets is obviously picking a direction! I guess maybe the idea is that if price starts out one way and then you get stopped out, it doesn't matter because then you'll then enter a trade in the opposite direction and hit one or both of the targets in that opposite direction and still be ahead? But I wasn't seeing that on my charts all that often. You can very easily get stopped out going long, have the 'system' then tell you to go short and get stopped out on that trade too. As for the charts in the book showing one big win after the other, with very few losses, I guess I'm skeptical. If there's something I'm "missing" from people who have actually used this system to make good money, please let me know what it is, but frankly, it seems like it's built on such a flimsy foundation in terms of what triggers a trade entry, that having built and back-tested systems for years now, I just have trouble believing that this isn't just hype to be honest, and so I'm reluctant to even spend time coding it for actual backtesting. Just looking at a chart with the 'fractals' painted, I can see many losers on the chart, and not enough winners as far as I can see to make it a profitable system, so I'm just doubtful it's worth wasting the coding time to investigate it further.

You must read this book for trading.
I bought first this book. It has very useful explanations how develop this strategy called structured patterns and how create your system with this strategy. The most important to me was how the author explain why it's important the profit loss ratio (3:1) for trade sucessfully, many traders know this, but for beginners in trading it's must important. The strategy is not easy to understand the first time, you need to reread many times, rest one day and reread and you get it the idea. Also you have the privilege to contact the author if you need to expand the subject or if you don't understand something in the strategy, he quickly respond your answers and he give more tips how is trading in this year because the markets change over time and some currencies don't profit very well and you need to wait or look another instrument to trade. For more details in trading this strategy you need to buy the other books because they develop the strategy in more detailed manner, like how test the corridors, why the release the economic news how impact in your trading, detect when you need to get out, etc. These 4 books by this author and I like to recommend this other book The 1-Day TECHNICAL ANALYSIS Expert Guide by Amr Dabbous are the most useful books for trading for me.

Simple and powerful trading system based on very thorough research
I've read nearly 200 trading books in 15 years. I can tell when someone is a real trader, and I can say this author is real. But that's actually not so important. What really matters is three things. 1) Does the book divulge unique and useful information? Yes. 2) Are clear trading rules given, including position sizing, when to stay out, and honesty about losing trades? Yes. 3) Is the writing clear and concise? On this point, I can say the writing is concise, but this is not the most poetic book you will ever read in English. However, all the information is there, and there are no misleading aspects. I found that I had to study his charts very carefully. He annotates them extensively, and the pictures speak 1000 words. The book is short because that's all it takes to cover the whole system. Once you get the hang of it, it's not that complex, which is a sign of all good trading systems. Also, the author asks for questions and feedback, so I wrote to him twice and he immediately responded with kind answers to help me. In summary, I highly recommend this book for forex traders.

Interesting, proved efficiency, and very helpful author
The books are quite interesting but require many re-readings as the key ideas may not be very highlighted/ However, the author can be contacted and is very helpful and responsive. Moreover, the concepts can lead to positive results.

Top book
I found this book fantastic. I was looking for something that doesn't explain the usual thing on forex but something that explain me an effective strategy for making money on forex. The theory is not so simple, you have to apply, read carefully, ask questions to the author but finally it's a fantastic method to do trading.

Libro de lectura compleja, pero con una estrategia muy prometedora
(NOTA: Este libro deberÃa leerse conjuntamente con los siguientes libros: Forex Strategy: ST Patterns Trading Manual, EUR/USD Chart Analysis Step by Step, 300% for One Month (English Edition) Trading Strategy: Fractal Corridors on the Futures, CFD and Forex Markets, Four Basic ST Patterns, 800% or More in Two Month (English Edition) Day Trading EUR/USD, M5 Chart Analysis +1000% for One Month ST Patterns Step by Step (English Edition) exactamente en ese orden, todos ellos de Vladimir Poltoratskiy. El libro cuya reseña estás leyendo ahora mismo es el primero. Este, junto con los dos primeros de la lista anterior, forman un todo unitario. El último libro no es imprescindible para aprender la estrategia si pretendes operar en gráficos de 1 hora, ya que se trata de una adaptación de la estrategia para gráficos de 5 minutos. Por supuesto, puedes leer solo uno de los libros para echar un vistazo superficial a la estrategia, pero si pretendes operar de verdad, en mi opinión vas a necesitar leer los otros libros también. La siguiente reseña vale para todos los libros pues, como digo, los considero un todo). La primera vez que leà estos libros odié los libros y al autor :) . La mayor crÃtica que se puede hacer a estos libros es la barrera del lenguaje. El autor es ruso y eso se nota en la redacción. Dicho esto, ya desde la primera lectura, tuve la impresión de que estos libros, a pesar de su dificultad, tenÃan mucho valor escondido. De no ser asÃ, no habrÃa acabado leyendo cada uno de ellos tres o cuatro veces, subrayando y tomando notas. Tras estudiar concienzudamente sus libros, mi visión de ellos ha cambiado completamente. Ahora puedo ver que esta estrategia, a pesar de su complejidad, está bastante bien desarrollada por el autor y es exactamente lo que yo andaba buscando: un conjunto de instrucciones precisas y objetivas para abrir, gestionar y cerrar posiciones en el mercado forex, sin dudas, sin ambigüedades, sin la subjetividad de otras estrategias. (También es aplicable para otros activos financieros, pero eso es otra historia). Por si eso fuera poco, el autor ha tenido la amabilidad de contestar a todas y cada una de las dudas que tenÃa (más de tres emails cargados de ellas). Y además responde el mismo dÃa. La estrategia se basa en la formación de corredores en los gráficos. A partir de los distintos niveles de esos corredores, se abren, se gestionan y se cierran operaciones. Esas formaciones desarrollan diferentes tipos de patrones en el gráfico, lo que puede llegar a ser un poco complicado. No voy a mentir, no creo que esta estrategia sea para el completo principiante. Sin embargo, yo soy bastante novato en el trading y creo que he conseguido un nivel de comprensión bastante decente de la estrategia. Pero ello me ha costado estudiar estos libros durante casi un mes. Son cortos, sÃ, pero densos. Asà que supongo que si estás decidido y le echas horas, puedes llegar a dominar la estrategia. Para ser sinceros, aún no he puesto a prueba la estrategia suficientemente. El poco backtesting y trading en demo que le he hecho tiene buena pinta, eso sÃ. Cosas mejorables: 1) yo si fuera el autor buscarÃa un buen traductor y reescribirÃa al menos algunos pasajes del libro que no quedan del todo claros. En general se entiende bastante bien, pero la redacción es mejorable. 2) recopilarÃa todos los libros y los refundirÃa en uno solo. Un libro completo, unificado, estructurado, de unas 150-200 páginas, con toda la estrategia bien delineada. Aunque costara 40-50€ merecerÃa mucho la pena. Muy recomendable.

Working as demonstrated.
Vladimir has shared a working strategy which can be used to profit from the market. I am learning from his books and will continue to test the strategies on a demo account until I get comfortable with it. Vladimir also responds to all email questions sent to him, which makes the learning process much much better. I will recommend Vladimir's work to my friends and colleagues 5/5.

Complete strategy for working with the markets.
As a fairly new trader I have been overwhelmed with the information and products available to guide me along my trading journey. Discretionary trading has SO many variables and I wanted something that would help me to narrow down and concentrate on honing my skills and achieving consistent results. I purchased all four of Vladimir's ST pattern books and am impressed by how thorough and detailed they are. The way in which he presents the strategy makes perfect sense to me and I enjoy working with it. The images featured (along with the additional access to the Google drive images) makes it so much easier to be able to study the finer details. The inclusion of actual trades is incredibly useful. I am so grateful for the obvious efforts which the author has made in collecting the data to demonstrate the strategy in action. As he says in all of the books, the trader will need to be willing to apply themselves to the learning process but that's the case with any strategy. Personally, I am enjoying it and it has removed many of the anxieties from my trading. Thank you.
