Summary: A Reference for Hands-On OTC day trading using NASDAQ II
Review: 'Electronic Day Trading to Win' was the best of the books I found on day trading NASDAQ stocks. Coming from an engineering background, I get an understanding through examples. This book through examples carried the subject further than others by giving a more complete picture for selecting and timing stocks for trade. Besides covering the normal price chart patterns and support/resistance levels, the authors show how to use the volume at these levels along with NASDAQ Level II market maker information to make an educated analysis of which way a stock will move. This is a technical book which is well written, but covers a lot of important aspects of trading. This means that to absorb all the information, a chapter or two at a sitting is about all one can read with comprehension. Throughout the book, the authors stress leaving a back door open for getting out of a trade if needed using SOES (small order execution system). The main emphasis of the book is to expand gains and limit losses -- which is what I suspect most of us want to do. I highly recommend the book for anyone planning to trade. The book also gives suggestions for setting up a NASDAQ Level II trading screen. By setting the screen up, the reader gets a hands-on training on the capabilities on of the screen.

Summary: Turning on the light
Review: After reading only 30 pages, I know without a doubt, that this book is the best investment I have ever made. This will arm me with the knowledge to take control of my financial future. I for one do not want to retire at 65, crippled from labor and a few dollars in my 401. Thank you Gentlemen! It was worth every cent!

Summary: The momentum of the future...is behind the reader!
Review: As a businessman, husband, father, and "Baby Boomer"; investments are of great importance to me. I bought this book with the intent to gain knowledge regarding daytrading. However, I recieved much more than I ever expected. This book not only informed me about the [otherwise illegal] schemes found in places like the auction floors of the NYSE and AMEX (while simultaneously revieling an alternate safe and practical approach to trading), but it also heightened the expectation within my soul to begin a new career in this growing market. The authors' approach to online daytrading proves to carry the least amount of risk compared to all other types of securities exchange. Anyone who reads this book will gain both, a tremendous hatred for the evils carried out by the oppressive money mongers on Wall Street, and a genuine knowledge into the safest way to trade stock that is currently available to the public. The knowledge gained by reading this book will position the reader advantageously within the world marketplace. Buy it now, read it now, us it to trade now, and get in on the ground floor of the coming world-wide empire. The momentum of the future, in the 24 hour-a-day world-wide market of security/equity exchange, is behind the reader of "Electronic Daytrading to Win" by Baird and McBurny.-No portion of this review, including it's title, may be restated in any format without the express written consent of the legal representative of the estate of it's author (aka Scott Zeger); including this disclaimer.

Summary: A very exciting book
Review: Being a small investor, I have been experiencing with brokers many of the numerous problems that the book reveals. Besides the amount of money I have lost in abusive spreads and high commissions I have not been able to make some great deals because of how slow the broker was. Now I know why by having read this book. I find the book very complete since it doesn't only explain how markets work but also explains market strategies, technical analysis, trade options, how to set and use your trading screen, and other important aspects. In addition, I find their advice excellent of how to limit losses and increase your gains by day trading. To make it short, a very good book I could not stop reading!

Summary: A real eye-opener
Review: Electronic Day Trading to Win is a not only a must-read for prospective day-traders, but for anyone dealing with equity investments. The authors reveal the evils carried out daily on the floors of the NYSE and AMEX, which was a real eye-opener for me. Day traders have been given a negative image by Wall Street and the media, and the authors of this book reveal the reasons why and go on to explain how intelligent, educated day trading can actually be LESS risky than position trading or buying mutual funds. Although I doubt most people have the discipline (or the cash) to become successful day-traders, the techniques and principles the authors promote can also be applied to any type of investing. If you have the requisite capital and the nerve, I believe you can make money using this book.

Summary: Decided to Investigate Further Because of this Book
Review: Every book about Day Trading, Trend Trading, or Direct Access trading is attacked by the mainstream broker-powers-that-be. This book tells why. Because of this book, it made introductory stock market trading of an interest to me. I am now signed up for a trading school (the Boot Camp at Trading Academy). I have also read Dr. Tharp's new book on trading to financial freedom. It is now so OBVIOUS that a person who pursues this intelligently, has awareness-control of the psych-biases, and implements risk-management, position-sizing, and other simple rules--- can make a killing in the market. And the Onliners and traditional Brokers-- they want you OUT! If you are starting or thinking about [ANY KIND OF] trading-- this is a must read. If you are going to play a game-- you have GOT to know the rules. WLolli Escondido, CA calnra.org
