Summary: I'm not a daytrader, but this book isn't just for daytrading
Review: I learned a lot of stuff from this book. The trading I do is over a period of days to weeks. I liked the idea on earnings. I think there are some great insights that I can apply as a longer term investor. I think anything that can offer me a new idea is worth the time to read, and I got more than one idea from this book, so I give it a high five!

Summary: A good introduction for a new player...
Review: that wants to get an idea where to start. I enjoyed the authors writting style. While the content was a bit heavy at times, I felt the layout of the book and the explainations were well done. I liked this book.

Summary: book hype coincides with bull market top
Review: this book strikes me as a lot of hype with many grammatical errors in between. my guess is that the 5 star reviews are either shills or relatives of the author.

Summary: If you don't know what this book tells you, don't trade.
Review: There was some useful information, like a two page review of Fair Value, and what to watch for in Fair Value, but like most other topics, the book never got down to the details of HOW or WHERE to track fair value online. The author mentions trading systems available from brokers with 16 screens, but what do they look like and how do you use them? This was more an appetizer than a trading book, in this reader's opinion.

Summary: Interesting, well-edited, but final chapters self-promoting
Review: This book is well edited for the most part. I noticed only a couple of sentence errors. One has to be careful when reading this book to distinguish between common cliches and actual stock market lingo. The word "market," for example, can sometimes be interpreted a couple ways in some sentences; e.g. "market order" - does the author really mean a "market order" or an orderly market? With careful re-reading, many of these can be sorted out, though. The book's major problem is its web site's self-promotion. The author on the one hand does seem to want to give away the keys to the kingdom by sharing his knowledge and insights. But, he doesn't want to give away the keys to his kingdom. In the chapter dealing with choosing a day trading firm, there is no mention of any firms by name

Summary: Everything I expected and more!
Review: The author not only provided an introduction to electronic direct access trading, but the book can serve as a guide for anyone interested in investing in securities whether day trading or long term investing. Mr. Nassar is thorough in his teaching of the mechanics of electronic direct access trading as well as the analysis necessary before venturing into this arena. After reading his book, I have a new found appreciation for the expertise necessary to be a successful trader; it is not for amateurs.

Summary: A complete and understandable overview of EDAT
Review: David Nassar's book is one of the most comprehensive "how to get started" books I have ever read. He covers a myriad of topics in a straight forward, understandable format leaving the reader to decide whether electronic direct access trading is right for them. I particularly respected his continual warnings that electronic day trading is not a "get rich quick" scheme, nor is it for everyone. He stresses that it takes a genuine commitment to research and training before one should take on the professionals, and describes in detailed chapters what the research and training consists of. Unlike other books I have read on electronic day trading, Nassar is very direct on the potential losses awaiting the unprepared or untrained. At times I felt there was too much material for an introductory book, but then I realized that to be a successful EDAT trader, the topics covered in the book must all be absorbed to be successful.

Summary: Not enough detail to "use" Level II successfully!
Review: Daytrading is too general a term. If you were to ask ten traders how they daytrade you will likely get ten different answers. I've have been to several ECN trading rooms only to find each has their own twist on how to daytrade. If you daytrade using E-Trade, Schwab or Ameritrade, you must read this book. Mr. Nassar's trading style is very close to mine and he will introduce you to the wackly world of ECN trading and Market Makers. If there is a short coming, it is there is not enough information in the book to teach you the ins and outs of Level II trading. You will lose your shirt if you read just this book. However, if you are considering daytrading and want to know if you have what it takes to begin, for the price this book is a great start!

Summary: Not What You Think
Review: Heavily marketed book that provides little meaningful information to the would be trader.Excellent as a marketing brochure for the author.The bulk of the book is selling products and services.
Rating:
Summary: Very Incomplete - The entire book is an introduction.
Review: I was very disappointed with this book. The title of this book touts a comprehensive guide for the new day trader. In reality, it is so incomplete it merely raised more questions than answers.
