Entry Strategies Alex 07-05-2006

Is there a book that is dedicated to entry strategies only (or mainly)?

I'm not as much talking about technical analysis, but trading techniques,
like scale trading, scalping, bet sizing.

The reason I am interested in entry techniques, is that the entry point
is where you should lose the maximum amount of money. Either the
trade goes against you and you should be out, or it goes your way.

Are there any books on combined strategies of shares and options?

Using Options to Buy Stocks: Build Wealth With Little Risk and No
Capital (Paperback)
by Dennis Eisen looks like a good book.

The basic idea is to select good stocks and sell cash covered puts
against them.

Dr Eisen's book does not cover the OP. Eisen's thesis is about
selling Put LEAPS instead of buying stock. His theory is that
options, especially LEAPS do not correctly account for the market's
positive bias.

In which the worst case scenario would be that you have to
buy the stock at the strike price, but above the market price.

I'll look into the book though.

I guess what I am looking for is a book that is purely about
pyramiding into and out of a stock. I once read about Martin
Schwartz, that he used a technique he called "The Harmonica".
He bought a stock or future on the way up, and sold it on the
way down. That way he could join a (short term) trend, and
ride it up, without a lot of risk.

I'm looking for more strategies like that.
