By far the best book on day trading I've read (out of perhaps a dozen).  Unlike other books that spend lots of time discussing ideas and concepts,  this book is direct and explicit in the basic "how-to" of day trading.  The author provides simple recipes for day-trading strategies, and presents them clearly and with actual examples from his experience (along with screenshots!).

This is one of the best written book that should be in every serious traders' library.  I have recommended this book to my friends that are continuously trying to learn this business the correct way. There are a lot of investment books that I have read which went straight to the recycle box or have been deleted from my Kindle, but not this one.  I plan to let me kids read it someday.

Be glad that this author is willing to share his methods with you.  Enjoy the book and read it a few times if the information didn't sink in...

I read this book within a few days. I have purchased the software also. I think this book ranks at the top of my list because it deals with the common mistakes traders make (no business plans, incorrect position sizing, lack of money management etc). It along with the software gives a better way to trade. Having made lots of mistakes in 2008 I can honestly say that this book will definitely make me think twice before "jumping" into a trade on a whim. It encourages better planning, highlights the importance of entries and exits and in short, makes you a better trader.

This one reads like a traders bible.  Covering every aspect of Day Trading, from computer and communications setups, to specific strategies that can be traded right now.  Also covers psychological aspects faced by day traders and strategies to use to break free from mental traps.  Includes little known Market Maker strategies and how to profit when you see the subtle clues.
If you believe in being prepard, having an edge and if you believe that your mind influences your trading then this book will be essential to you.  This book is for people that are interested in trading as a business, which is covered in it's own chapter.

I started reading a bunch of books before starting trading. So far this book is the best. Author explains how to read the trend from the charts and how to make profit. Also once you read, you will feel that the author really cares that the reader understand what he explains. not only from learning, but I also feel really good because of the sincerity of the author.

I found this book to be well written, informative and a fantastic introduction to the world of day trading. I did not find it to be repetitive at all, in fact the author does a fantastic job of ensuring that you understand the principles he is explaining. I thought day trading was  all about trading volatile NASDAQ stocks and was more gambling than trading  and there wasno money anywhere else. I was very impressed with the  techniques and guidance. I haven't tried trading yet but I have gained an  excellent understanding of his approach and method. Who ever thinks the  book is a waste of time is either a hot shot gambler that has lost more  money than he's made or doesn't like a low risk strategy that helps you  make your money slowly. This is not a get rich quick thing it is a business  plan...a strategy. Thanks for a great book. .............

I am an engineer who is interested in stocks and trading.  I have read a few books and tried a few strategies, and this is by far the safest and most useful book I have read.  This is the first book I have read that has allowed me to actually make trades using these techniques, and I have made profits from them as well!  I'm thinking about purchasing this book for my mother who also is interested in stock trading.  I had no idea what options were before talking with Laurie and reading this book.  She also recommends TD Ameritrade which has a plethora of helpful education and training courses available, most of which are free.  If you are interested in stocks and want to learn how to minimize your risk, try this book.  So happy I signed up for Laurie's class and got the book.  I highly recommend it to anyone.

The world of Day Trading is fast and furious.  The day trader must have a lot of capital, and not be afraid of losing money.  The author paints a picture of the day trader as a renegade who takes more risks than the average investor in hopes of scoring higher rewards than most.  As a beginner, I am not looking to dive into the deep end of the pool on the first day.  I appreciated the advice that the author laid out in terms of the risks assumed by anyone who dares to try.  He goes into his method of choosing a good stock, but also, how to choose a good broker.  It is the brokers job to protect you, and look out for your investment.  There are a myriad of things that you need to check out before you invest, such as the stocks daily trading volume, determining whether or not the stock fits in with your trading strategy, etc.  For all of those reasons, and more, the author suggests that you hire a competent broker to assist you.  The author also details trading noise and momentum strategy at great length.  This book paints a tough picture of the day-trading world, and gives the reader a safe, but realistic glimpse of this kind of life.

Day trading involves entering and exiting trades market in same day. This book gives a guideline on day trading. First the author explains trading as the perfect way to get wealthy. He then gives the various trade options, understanding and reading tables, understanding the stock markets all the way to what is best to trade on, techniques to trade on and common mistakes new traders make. The book is detailed. The author gives information good enough to make a beginner be able to make their first trade. I have been planning to invest in stock markets. This book has opened up my eyes in different ways. However I will take a little more time trying most of the options and see what actually works for me

By far, this is the BEST book on online trading. Mr Farrell's methods make perfect sense and the beauty of it are their simplicity. I suspect this (the simplicity of the methods) is why so many reviewers here rated the  book so lowly, because they simply couldn't swallow the fact that they  could have thought of it and wrote the book first before Mr Farrell.
For  one, Mr Farrell is neither a gambler nor a risk-taker. His methods, though  won't make you an instant millionaire unless you have a few million dollars  as risk capital yourself to start with, are nevertheless almost fool-proof.  If you have the patience and are not overtaken by greed, you can actually  make a decent living as an online day-trader if you follow the book  throughout.
I was holding a day job and contemplating quitting the job  and becoming a full-time day trader for quite some time till this book came  along. Now, I'm able to make a decent living as an online day-trader,  thanks to Mr Farrell.

I have read many trading books that cost so much more than this one.  This book is a no brainer, just buy it and digest it.  It isn't just a fluff piece that is only worth the measly price of the kindle version.  It has given me a new insight into the meaning of volume in relation to price action.  If you have never used volume to add meaning to the price action, you will be able to add a complete new dimension to your trading.

If you have EVER traded, wanted to trade, or thought about trading, you need to read this book!!  There are SO many basic principles of trading included, that I guarantee if you pay attention, these thoughts will make your trading better.  The author (a very successful trader himself) takes you through how things work in the trading firm he co-founded, and how they train their new traders.  The book is a fun read with many stories of how trades played out, as well as very educational stories of traders that made it, and those that did not, and the mistakes they made.

Love the markets?  Love trading?  THEN BUY THIS BOOK, YOU WILL NOT BE SORRY!!!

I have read countless books on trading and this is by far in my top 5. David helps you navigate the complex futures markets and explains what exactly is going on.

It is a great road-map for your trading career and I can proudly say that I am now profitable!

I own the book as well as the set of CDs and have listened to and read over again.  I can't say enough good about the content and I've read lots of trading books. You'll get more than your money's worth on the psychology of trading, money management and trading tactics. Definitely a keeper!

I "Discovered" Meir Barak on You tube a couple of months ago. The videos were so impressive that I immediately purchased his book which I only found out about by Googling him to get more info. This is a great book and I recommend it highly. I have many trading books and I'm a high frequency trader. There are many good books but This is the best book out there. I also joined his trading room and it is now a part of my trading strategy. They charge a fee which I made during the free trial. Previously I always had CNBC on in the background but that did not make me money although it "seemed" to be the thing to do..  I get many ideas there but I still have to get my stamina up...They sometimes move fast. Meir Barak is a very honest writer and trader He has loses like everyone else and learning from the book and the room is invaluable. If you are serious about trading or learning buy this book.

I was first drawn to the works of Peter Steidlmeyer in 1993 as a futures trader by a colleague who explained that the features that I noted about the frenzied interest rate futures markets, had been encapsulated by this author. Without reading the book I tried to monitor the market activities in the profile that had been explained to me. Strangely enough, there was a pattern apparent on the daily sheets of paper that I started to collect.
It was not until late 1999 that I revisited the phenonmenon when I started to trade on my own account from an office. I recalled the works and decided to pick up the book. It was an incredible revelation and revitalised my enthusiasm for day trading. Many people feel that they have a gut instinct in understanding where markets will trade, but Steidlmeyer's statistical approach formalises much of this. I was particularly interested in how his upbringing and his experiences as a child and the responsibilities he was given formed his approach to trading as a pro. From the writing you will learn the importance of watching rather than partaking in the opening hour of the market, which is often a money saver. it will teach you rules of discipline, because it makes sense.
What I failed to take away from the book in working practice was the application of options volume from the 'far-traders,' the people who were bothered about the long-term haul, and how this could be witnessed in practice. There is certainly a lot of truth in it, but I could not match this with my experience as a day trader. The statistical comprehension of Market Profile is skillfully explained  and is profitable to those who adopt it. the book is well written, understandable to the novice and is sound advice.
