How to Get Started in Electronic Day Trading: Everything You Need to Know to Play Wall Street's Hottest Game

Rating:
Summary: Not nearly as good as some others
Review: This title was actually rather boring. There are a half dozen other books out there right now on the same subject that treat it better. This is way too academic and dry. I couldn't wait to put it down!

Rating:
Summary: Superb
Review: This was one of those books where once you start reading it you cannot stop. This author did a tremendous job explaining all of the intricacies of a Level II screen without losing you. His intent was to make certain you understand the concepts and not impress you with his knowledge. His inclusion of maintaining trading journals and understanding market pyschology was very good. I got a lot out of this book unlike what I got from reading "The Electronic DayTrader". I highly recommend it. After reading Nassar's book I plan to attempt reading "The Electronic DayTrader" again. It will probably make more sense now.

Rating:
Summary: Interesting & practical book!
Review: The author provides new insights and strategies that will be useful for the new online investor. This book describes current tips regarding market makers, playing earnings reports, and the best description of how to use Level II screens I've seen in print. Along with Friedfertig's "The Electronic Day Trader" it provides everything the new investor will need to avoid losses and make a profit. Well-written, easy to read and very helpful guide.

Summary: not worth it
Review: This is not a good book to read. There are for more informative books out there. Save your money!

Rating:
Summary: Yes, but
Review: A lot of information here, but if you are planning to use the internet to really get more bang for your buck and find the best deal around then you also need a book like Trading Online (FT Pitman) by Patel.

Rating:
Summary: Easy reading, full of good info...
Review: I was very excited the whole time I read this book. It was very easy to read and had a lot of good, useful information. I will be telling everyone who wants to start trading to read this book.

Rating:
Summary: Very good stuff!
Review: The ideas in this book have made money for me from the first day. I have also read "The Electronic Day Trader" by Marc Friedfertig, and Houtkin's "The Secrets of the Soes Bandit". Both of those books are also very good, but Nassar's book offers more in the way of practical strategies besides going after 1/8 or 1/4's.

Summary: fantastic a must for your library
Review: The author is very informative . It's a pleasure to read this book.I truly believe I learned more about trading from this book than any book I read before.

Summary: A great primer for Level II daytrading
Review: I have been trading stocks online for about 6 months with a Level I broker (Datek, E*Trade, e.g.) and began to realize why I was at a distinct disadvantage. David Nassar quickly illustrates how Level II trading - where you see all the bids/asks of a stock from all market makers - is "pure capitalism". This book offers the right blend of technical illustration and common-sense psychology regarding trading. All in all, a highly recommended "how-to" (and "why-to") for electronic daytrading.

Rating:
Summary: Good introductory book
Review: The book title says it all - a very good book for some one starting out day trading. Clearly, explains how the markets work.
