Niklas:

I read their OTHER book, "The Ultimate Trading Guide".
It is a beginning to intermediate level trading book.
Nothing original, but a broad survey.
Quality is good, EXCEPT for TradeStation Easy Language code.

The EL code examples provided in that book are convoluted and
poorly coded.
( I have 30+ years of coding experience and teach Object Oriented
Analysis and 
Design for a living.)

An even more serious issue regarding the Pruitt + Hill code
samples  has to do 
with their misunderstanding of the TradeStation order execution
model.
Thus, some of their code will verify, back test OK, but is
actually invalid when you trade it on real data.
Pretty dangerous.

very nervous about the new book.
