On Track Investing: A Guide to Simulation Trading

Rating:
Summary: Pick some normal stocks for examples
Review: Once past all the advertising, the book is a good tool for learning when to enter and exit a trade. However, I found that the examples used often are more "ideal" than what is actually found in the market. Use some more difficult examples, David, and teach us how to really understand what's going on with a stock.

Review: This book would be a great book worth 4 stars if it wasn't for all the advertising in the book. It's a good thing it's spiral bound, and you can always rip out the advertising. This book teaches you a few entry techniques for stocks and options and has forms for recording and paper trading. Get rid of all the damn advertising, and this would be a great book!

Summary: Great Book for Beginning/Intermediate Investors
Review: This was the first book I read on investing. I learned about papertrading and the various strategies he wrote about. It was easy enough for me to learn and I knew very little about investing other than buy and hold for long periods of time. I've read and reread the book a few times and use it as a reference.

You should have TC2000 in order to get the best understanding of this book possible. If you don't have this software, it will make doing the examples much harder, so then, I would say don't waste your time trying to understand his examples.

I like how he talks about his trades and whether he made or lost money. You can back track in TC2000 to see whether he made good trades or not.

The papertrading is invaluable. If you can't successfully papertrade, don't bother using real money because you'll lose more with real money than papertrading. I am now using real money and making about 1/5 to 1/4 what I did papertrading. That's still excellent.
