Summary: THOUGHTFUL INTRODUCTION TO DAY TRADING
Review: A great book that accomplishes what the title says. As a beginner in day trading, I found this book easy to follow and realistic -- and I found it helped me think carefully about what I was getting into. Nassar's book is comprehensive and educational. Unlike several other books on this subject, it introduces day trading without trying to be a technical analysis text or a broker's handbook, and without being a veiled advertisement for a brokerage or a system. You do get great insight and advice into the behavior of the market players, and the mindset, mental preparation, discipline, and goal planning of day trading -- the things that will make me successful. I think it's really good that the book has Nassar's personal thinking, because after all, day trading is a very individual activity, not an institutional or group activity. I hope there's a followon intermediate book, but this one is the place to go for planning to start day trading.

Summary: GREAT INTRODUCTION TO DAYTRADING
Review: Nassar's book is a terrific place to start for someone desiring to trade online. Trading is a dynamic, rapidly changing way to earn a living. Nassar presents this complicated maze of regulation in an easily understood format and introduces the reader to the basic concepts necessary to become profitable and successful. While long term success takes more education and training, it is good to see someone of integrity in an industry marred with abuse giving would-be traders the right start. I anxiously await a more comprehensive advanced sequel.

Summary: A clear well written book that answered all of my questions.
Review: This book answred all of my day trading questions of which I had many. Day trading is a new investing technique and I am a novice investor. I found the book very helpful. The book tied together all of the bits and pieces that I had read about in other books, magazines and advisory services.

Summary: Don't be a dope just say nope
Review: The idea of online trading intrigued me and so I bought a few books. Unfortunately I don't much like this one in terms of substance. I would have to go with "Online Investor" by Temple (Old but conscise) or "Investing Online" by Eckett or "Trading Online" by Patel (recent and comprehensive).Sorry to have to recommend other books on the review of this book, but at the end of the day no one should have to buy ten books when one would do.

Summary: Not a whole lot of substance...
Review: The answer to the question posed on the cover of the book "how to get started in electronic day trading" can be summed up in three words...TAKE A COURSE! That's what the author suggests...and of course the author can offer the course to you for big bucks! To be fair, the book does offer some interesting background tidbits, but the writing of the book is not very clear. I found myself saying "HUH?" For intance..what does "SOESing the market makers" mean?? I would like to know how the "SOES Bandits" operate, but after reading all of the very few paragraphs covering this topic, I must admit I still don't know. Seems as if the most interesting part of electronic daytrading was rushed through, while the more mundane stuff (things that have been covered ad nauseum in other "investment" books) are rehashed over and over again. Obviously, the book was meant to be a "sale brochure" for the expensive course. But sale brochures should be free!!! This book is definitely better than "Secrets of the SOES Bandits", but that is not saying very much.

Summary: Nothing original, a slick-looking hype job.
Review: I run a trading firm that caters to professional traders, and I try to read all the books I can. I have no reason to hype or pan any book, outside of simply being interested in developing good traders. This book was obviously written with an ulterior motive of hyping Southwest Securities and the firms that clear through Southwest. In my humble opinion, new traders first needs to focus on the psychology of trading, and then work to develop the techniques and money management skills to truly grasp the market. There is very little in the way of original information or direction for a new trader. The best book I have seen recently is Trading to Win by Dr. Ari Kiev. I'd much rather see someone read that before coming to me. This is one of the few books out there truly offering good advice to begining-and experienced-traders. It might seem that I have another agenda with reviewing the book so harshly, but I don't. I've had several people come to me after reading this book, and they don't understand the market, which means that I have to un-teach them, and then teach them. If I can avoid this unnecessary work, then I'm happy and they lose less money.

Summary: Beware!!!
Review: This book unquestionably has a lot of good insights & comments on E-DAT trading, but you have to wade through & disentangle a lot of near-gibberish to benefit. The major part of the blame belongs to the publisher, McGraw-Hill, who should be thoroughly ashamed (but probably couldn't care less in the world of contemporary business ethics & standards) for apparently not assigning Nassar an editor or else assigning him an extremely lazy one. Getting something meaningful out of this book is like eavesdropping on a conversation halfway down a crowded bar. Nassar is unquestionably knowledgeable & full of enthusiasm, but the book reads as though it had been written on cocktail napkins & post-it notes: very repetitive, disjointed & syntactically wacky. Most of the time he's talking about the *i*d*e*a* of day trading & not the process itself. Well, he does teach a seminar, so maybe there's another agenda here. Which may also give a clue to all the glowing (& almost laughably simplistic) "success stories" listed among the Amazon reviews.

Summary: I made thousands after reading it
Review: After reading this book and upgrading to Level II, I made thousands of dollars! It's so easy to do! I used to be a Hertz Car Rental desk clerk, but now I've "retired," bought a new house, and am going to travel to Japan for a month. One word of warning though: this new found wealth has made me a little cocky and this has caused some tension with my live-in girlfriend. Anyhow, buy this book, read it, and within hours you'll be making trades and working for your own early retirement.

Summary: Most Complete resource available for fledging Daytraders
Review: Having read most of the books available today concerning the phenomenom known as "daytrading" or E-DAT, I was overwhelmed by David Nassar's book. The book takes all of the inter-related complexities of this cutting edge form of investment and presents it in a well organized and easy to digest fashion. Areas such as technical analysis and fundamentals which are very hard to cut through in most investment books are laid out in a manner which can be enjoyed by the fledging as well as the advanced trader. The book is suitable for anyone interested in E-DAT or those who wish to keep up the changing world of investment. If you are searching for resources in this area , I would make it your first choice. It is a good reference to keep on hand for now and the future. There are rumours of a second book by the Author, which I am looking forward to. The first was certainly a job well done.
