Rating:  Summary: Nothing easy about this one Review: Day Trading Made Easy is not exactly what you will call a strong how to book. The book contains many definitions, but no substance. The title is great, the execution is poor at best. There is nothing easy about day trading. The book is confusing. If you are looking for definition of day trading terms, then read this book. If you are looking to learn how to trade successfully, spend the money and take a seminar. This book will teach you nothing of value. I have to agree with the reviews written by Steve Flacks, Stephen, and Fred Morgan. I think they have expressed their feelings about this book very well. Read those reviews before you buy this book it will save you more money than just the price of this book.
Rating:  Summary: novice trader Review: Electronic Day Trading Made Easy makes learning about day trading easy. This book is a must for any new trader. Misha Sarkovick reviews all the necessary considerations a new trader needs. This book is an excellent introduction to day trading made easy. I highly recommend this book.
Rating:  Summary: Misha never traded, so what does he know? Review: Having as much experience in trading, I along with thousands of others could have written this book. It's cliche and dated. I am actually quite surprised since this guy has never really day-traded. After getting this book, the one thing Sarkovich taught me is how to write a book about something one does not know anything about. I actually cannot believe all the Stars people give!! Are you all high?!? Its mind boggling? Are you guys for real?... Actually, $3 prices in the used section should tell you something?... For anyone interested in technical analysis, get Murphy's technical analysis of Stocks and commodities or Reminiscence of a stock market operator by Jesse Livermore. Get a Van Tharp book for money management and be patient. Day-trading is tough, and most people can handle other types of trading but not day-trading. And really the only way to learn is to find a mentor like Pristine, a close friend or some trading shop. I wonder if there are a lot of shops around anymore. Misha's is not, not that he would ever trade there, since he is not a trader. ;-)
Rating:  Summary: Great Book For Beginners Review: I found this book to be one of the most complete guides for the day trading beginner. Ive probably read all of the most popular books on the subject and this one was by far the most insightful. It not only dealt with stratigies on trading the NASDAQ market but also gave an in depth review on how to trade NYSE stocks as well. I felt this topic was extremely undervalued and overlooked in other books. It covered almost every topic imaginable including how to effectively use Level II and technical analysis to become a more profitable trader as well as which style of trading might best suit your personality whether it be a position trader, market maker, or a scalper. It combined every book Ive ever read on the subject and wrapped it up in this easy to read package. Dont get me wrong. No one book can guide anyone to success in trading. It takes practice and time to develop your own strategies and trading style. But this book is a good start in obtaining an inside look into the world of day trading. I only wish I had access to this book when I first began trading.
Rating:  Summary: The best introductory guide on day trading Review: I have read several books on this topic and this book is by far the most complete guide and reference book on day trading. Everything is there: from Level I and II screens, technical analysis, order executions, risk management, to day trading strategies. The apendices even include a list of Nasdaq and NYSE stocks that are suitable for day trading. The best part is that everything from A to Z was well explained in simple and easy to understand terms. Finally, the book was professionally illustrated. I liked the fact that the author and publisher did not promote this or that trading software, or endorse a specific brokerage firm. The author wrote responsible book, which disclosed upfront the risk of day trading. Well done!
Rating:  Summary: So you wanna get rich.... Review: I have to congratulate the author for simplifying a lot of the information and delivering it in a concise manner. The book is not full of hype, just an explanation of daytrading basics. Unlike many books i have read, Sarkovich does not sound condescending to the novice. He doesn't show you a portfolio like others and claim to have made a billion bucks. He keeps things simple.A must read for the novice.It is also useful to the expert daytrader.
Rating:  Summary: ZZZZ Best book on day trading Review: I wish I had this book when I started day trading. It would have saved me a lot of money, eliminated a lot of trading mistakes and strees and pushed me up the learning curve much faster. Everything was here in the book: from A to Z, from the Level I and II information to technical analysis indicators, from the day trading strategies to tax issues. This is by far the most complete guide to day trading that I have read so far, I have read most of them. The trading information was presented in easy to understand language, and most significantly, it was well written so it was pleasure to read. The author defined and explained all of the day trading terms and concepts so there are no gaps in the material. The book was logically organized, so the information was easy to follow from chapter to chapter. All illustrations and particularly the technical analysis charts were professionally done and easy to understand. Finaly, what I like about this book is the author's honesty. The author disclosed all of the risk of day trading up front. This book is not a promotional piece. (I really liked the risk management chapter.) The author made it clear that day trading is a risky business that requires a lot of knowledge. Consequently, this book is a step in the right direction. It will help readers to acquire that knowledge.
Rating:  Summary: Misha never traded, so what does he know? Review: OK, if you want to read something that gives outline view of what Day Trading is about, go ahead and buy this book. If your looking to build a foundation for a successful career in trading, move on. Not only is this book a warmed up re-hash of material covered in dozens of other books, the information is really dated. I suppose that if we could roll the clock back to 1999, you could read this book, start trading and you'd probably feel pretty talented. But in reality, all you needed to know in 1999 was 3 or 4 steps. 1) Pick a stock, 2) Buy the stock 3) Sell it after it goes up. 4) Repeat steps 1 through 3.
Rating:  Summary: Nothing is easy!! Review: This book is ok if you are a new INVESTOR who wants to use Electronic Trading to buy stocks. If you are planning on being an active trader, or a day trader, skip this book. It is just basic order entry, system and level II quote information. As for the Made Easy part, investing and trading are not easy. If they could be made easy no one would sell you a book.
Rating:  Summary: Superb introduction to Day Trading Review: This has to be *the* Day Trading text for would-be and novice Day Traders. The author and publisher are to be congratulated for producing a comprehensive yet easy-to-read book on the many different aspects of Day Trading that beginners need to understand. Misha Sarkovich's clear and concise writing style, together with the logical structure and sequence of material, combine to produce a superb book on Day Trading. Everything is covered in the book: NYSE and NASDAQ, and their differences; Level I and Level II trading screens, and how to interpret and use them; stock price movements and alerts; technical analysis (price charting) tools and how to use them to identify potential trades; the different Buy/Sell Order types and their execution on NYSE and NASDAQ. All this is explained as clearly as you'll find anywhere; and the explanations benefit from some excellent diagrams and illustrations, leaving the reader in no doubt at all about the author's message. For me, though - as a relative novice in this field - what sets this book apart from the others that I've read is the chapter setting out four different styles of Day Trading, and their associated trading strategies. Each style is illustrated with a profile of a live day trader who practices that style. The "breakthrough" for me, after reading this, was that I now understood how to establish a manageable "stocks-to-watch" list, based on the chosen trading style/strategy. Up to then I'd been overwhelmed by the problem of watching too many (all...! ) the stocks which might move; a hopeless - and impossible - task. What joy, now that I have the answer! The book also provides: a good list of internet sites (for stock information, price data feeds, trading software platforms, trading firms, and internet brokers); a substantial list of NYSE and NASDAQ stocks with suitable trading volume and price volatility for day trading; a list of the key NASDAQ Market Makers; and (importantly) a comprehensive index. I can't fault it. It's superb. If you're new (or fairly new) to Day Trading, get the book now. You won't regret it.
