Summary: WALKING THE TALK
Review: This is a book for anyone. I read it three times and keep learning something new from this experienced trader. The author is an actual trader using the software and systems he writes about. I have seen him trade at a seminar and he is simply amazing. I went to a free seminar after hearing him on the radio. I was skeptical because of what I heard about day trading. But he traded in front of us in the flesh at the Marriott Hotel, and it was cool! My father and I watched him actually use the techniques he writes about in this excellent book and make $7600 in front of us over the span of 2 hours. It was awesome to watch. David knows his stuff and actually walks his talk. I know, I saw it happen! The book is a good picture of what a trader rally thinks about, but watching is really believing. One last thing, this book is not hype like some of these bogus reviews suggest. David is very honest in his approach. He states many times throughout the book that trading is hard and is not for everyone. His seminar said the same thing. He clearly stated the facts and leaves the decision up to the person. I appreciated his honesty as well.

Summary: Great Book
Review: There is tons of good stuff in this book for trading. I have been at it for over 30 years and I think this book is the best on the subject. I went to the... for a review and the book was rated number 1. I read the book and feel it is outstanding. Another review had led me to the source to review this book since reviews on this site seem to be weighted with a bias from obvious competitors etc. I found it hard to make a decision based on this information. I hope my review will be more helpful. The author spells things out in a simple way. I like things simple since the market always has a way of making things more complicated than they are. I have traded on a floor of an exchange for 10 1/2 years and can say the market is not as complicated as it seems nor as easy. This book is an accurate representation of what it takes to trade. If you read it and follow the sound advice in it, I think you will come to a similar conclusion that I did.

Summary: Complicated and interesting at the same time
Review: I found the book complicated to understand at times due to the technical nature of the information. There is alot to know about trading on the internet that I was not aware of and this book was very helpful to explain difficult information in a relatively understandable way. I read several other books and found this book to be the best I have read. Forbes said this was the best book on electronic trading that it reviewed. I found this a good source of objective evaluation. The link to go there for a fair review is... I find books are unfairly reviewed on this site due to competition among other books and before I buy a book, I like to look to Forbes, Business Week, Wall Street Journal, etc. They all rated this book very high. After reading it, I totally agree this book is the best on the market. I read Harvey Houtkins book and it was terrible. I will read many more before beginning to trade direct which the author of this book suggests, which I feel was very objective on his part. Direct trading is much different than trading on the internet and the techniques taught in this book are invaluable.

Summary: What a waste of money!
Review: The author goes on and on and on about what is presumably his company Edat. I thought I was getting a book about day trading, what I got was a book about day trading with this guys company, what a rip off! I'm already trying to sell this stinker on eBay, just trying to recoup some of the loss. The book was so out of date that I actually turned to the copyright page to see when it was written, its copyrighted in '99 but it reads like it was written about 1996, and as I'm sure you know everything about online trading has changed DRAMATICALLY since then. Hey I'm interested in day trading and have read several books on the subject, some better than others, this is the hands down worst, don't waste your money.

Summary: Advertisement
Review: THIS BOOK IS A BIG ADVERTISEMENT FOR THE MOST EXPENSIVE EDAT FIRM OUT THERE. THE AUTHOR PUSHES HIS WAY OVER PRICED FIRM TO THE UNSUSPECTING PUBLIC. HE MAKES YOU BELIVE HIS FIRM IS THE ONLY ONE OFFERING WHAT HE'S SELLING. THERE ARE ALOT OF COMPANYS OUT THERE OFFERING THE SAME SOFTWARE AND SERVICES FOR MUCH MUCH LESS.

Summary: response back after trading and reading the book
Review: I read the book, learned the basics and did some trading. level two and direct access especially enhanced my trading abilities, and one key reason was the ability to see ahead of the market price if the marketmakers are going lower or higher and the second is the ability to get your price because of the high speed of access. skill in trading go beyond these tools, however, I found experience and logic being your most important skills. The book was invaluable in learning to use level two and in providing content that would be of interest to a beginner trading. I found holding one stock til I get a decent return better than trading that same stock day after day though, but for entering and exiting a trade and the ability to watch a trade closely is best with level two and for a beginner this is a good book, but its not a free ticket to easy gains. the level two can get you into trouble just as quick as any other method. Having said that, for understanding the market and information on how to use level two, the book was great for a beginner. The gains come from using all your tools intelligently. I made dumb mistakes that cost me but I did learn from the mistakes and made it to positive steady gains now after 6 months. I found understanding the market will always be an ongoing learning experience everyday, there are no templates that last for long except good company fundamentals. My advice is practice paper trading or with a simulator for 6 months for the cheapest learning curve after reading the book and know your stock from watching it trade on level two. The book talks about styles of trading, I have found that just watching and papertrading one stock day after day with level two a great insight for eventually trading the stock for the first time while keeping in mind the macro environment of the market and how that particular stocks sector is doing for daytrading purposes. The book also has good references and links.

Summary: Should be given away as promotional material
Review: This is by far the worst "trading book" that I've ever read. It's basically an advertisement for the author's company, with a little bit of worthwhile information to go along... Save your money.
