Unholy Grails – A New Road to Wealth
Author: Nick Radge
Publisher: Radge Publishing
RRP $39.95
Review by Janene Murdoch, Educated Investor Bookshop
This fabulous new book written by one of Australia’s leading experts on trend-following strategies, gives the reader a blueprint to a sound, practical, and profitable trading strategy.
Nick has been working on developing and refining a system, which looks at the philosophy behind momentum trading. In this book, Nick reveals a little-known investment concept, often shunned by the larger investment houses, however ultimately benefitting the retail investor. After six years of indicative real time performance results this concept has stood the test of time. Risk, and the management of it, is a key factor in the book so along the way Nick reveals essential tips and tricks, designed to protect capital during bear markets.
The book also includes eight fully disclosed investment plans, thoroughly tested, and designed to give the reader the strategies to create a positive investment expectancy. It also includes interviews with investors who use momentum strategies successfully, and this gives the book a very real, intimate feel.
This is a very easy to read book – some might say simple. It is a common belief that investing needs to be complicated, but Nick’s book dispels this belief. Unholy Grails is a must read for anyone who already runs their own self managed super fund, or for investors looking to take control of their investments.

We’re regularly updating Market Analyser 7 to add new features and improve useability.
When a new build is released you will be prompted to update when you next open Market Analyser 7. We encourage you to keep up with the latest version, to ensure you’re getting the best possible experience.
• Analyser Filter settings are now saved, and loaded when you re-open the Analyser window.
• Current Analyser Indicators are saved as part of the Persistent Settings, so each Analyser window will load the last Indicator and with the values you last specified.
• As you switch Indicators in the Analyser, the system saves the parameters you last changed and loads those changes again as you re-select that indicator.
• Real Time Data updates now include best Bid/Ask, Change, Percent Change and Value.
• Chart Captions are now updated with Range, Spread, Net Change and Percent Change values.
• Default Chart Caption is Last Price and Change. (Not yet possible to select other caption options.)
• Added extra white space to Chart Titles with updates, to clear old values that may have had longer strings.
May 14, 2012
• Improved handling during startup: the program now checks if it’s already running, and if so displays a message then quits.
• The installer will now check if the program is running before copying files, and will prompt the user to close the program before continuing.
• Improved handling of Java: the installer will now check for Java 1.6 update 31 runtime. If a lower 1.6 update is installed, it will attempt to download 31 onto the client machine.
May 4, 2012
• Fixed an issue in the Analyser window where filter settings weren’t fully visible if the user had an unusual DPI or font size setting in place.
• Fixed a bug where Chart Indicator images weren’t selectable, nor being loaded during the drawing.
• Modified the installer to better handle 64Bit systems.
• Fixed a bug with the program not reading the Install Location correctly, causing a Chart Image Toolbar error.
• Fixed an issue with the Enter Key not working when using web page-based windows.
• Improved management of timeout and other unhandled Iress Time Series errors.
• Added a popup message to display if loading of Time Series data fails, giving the user the option to try again or load other data.
• Added an Update Progress bar to display while the software update process runs.
• Local filename for a downloaded update is now randomised to correct any Operating System sharing conflicts.
May 2, 2012
• Analyser scans now have a Filter Option to restrict symbols based on price and volume limits.
• Fixed a bug preventing intraday charts advancing to a new day, if opened before the new session starts.
• Improved error handling in Analyser Script Execution, to assist in cases of a script error stopping the scanning process.
• Modified the Analyser Progress Bar settings, to address an intermittent range error.
• D2MX Trade Tools task bar icon is now hidden when no Trade Tools windows are open.
• Fixed a bug in chart indicator polylines, preventing user interaction with the line via a mouse. This fixes the issue of the SAR indicator not being clickable.
• Added Chart Title to the Custom Index indicator.
• Added error handling to prevent D2MX windows being deleted if a user is holding down the Shift key on startup. The program will play a sound if it detects the Shift key being held.
• The Analyser window now repaints during scans, to ensure screen updates will be shown while a scan is in progress.
April 23, 2012
• Fixed a bug in intraday charts, where updates were being skipped if the volume was zero. This was affecting FX and some Index intraday charts.
April 16, 2012
• Added the ability to scroll through Watchlists
• Improved method of handling Java settings, to give more useful information on the version of Java installed.
• Adjusted the IRESS Loading timeout setting.
April 2, 2012
• Fixed an issue in the Upgrade Tool preventing some watchlist data from older versions being imported into Market Analyser 7.
• Added a facility to delete all Trendlines, Rectangles and Ellipses on a D2MX Chart. These options are now accessible via the right click menu.
• Rearranged the D2MX Chart right click menu for improved ease of use.
• Fixed a bug with D2MX Chart Indicators, which was causing charts with indicators to stop drawing if another indicator had encountered an error in calculations.
• Added the ‘Always Save’ option to the right click menu on D2MX Charts.
• Improved handling of how the system checks for a valid installation of Java.
• Tabs on D2MX Chart Templates were hard coded to use a small, hard-to-read font. This has been changed to use the Windows Standard Font Size.
• The system will now detect if a user’s Microsoft XML 4 installation is corrupt, and prompt with repair instructions. This resolves a problem with watchlists not populating D2MX Chart and Analyser screens.
