I put Crane's book on the top of my todo list. I am vigilant about
symetrical balance in future trading.
I used to expect one or two ideas per book, no more.
I found many ideas, more than the average, into Al Brooks book. I agree
about your comments, many readings are needed.
Best regards
NB : I learned a new word : trivia
:)
