IF YOU WANT TO LOOSE MONEY VERY QUICKLY DO NOT READ THIS BOOK GO TO A CASINO AND ENJOY THE EXPERIENCE. FOLLOW THIS BOOK AND YOU WILL BE COMPETING WITH A MACHINE DESIGNED TO PART YOU FROM YOUR HARD EARNED CASH BEFORE YOU KNOW WHAT HAS HIT YOU. THE ADS FOR SPREAD BETTING MARKETS ARE DESIGNED TO MAKE YOU THINK THAT ITS EASY MONEY AND PULL IN THE NEXT GROUP OF SUCKERS. READ MUCH MORE BEFORE YOU ADOPT THIS DANGEROUS APPROACH. TAKE A LONG TERM VIEW LIKE BUFFETT OR JIM SLATER AND YOU WILL LOOSE FAR LESS AND MIGHT EVEN BREAK EVEN

It covers it all
16 Jun 2001
Format:Hardcover
A great book! Easy to understand, fast paced introduction to trading. I have read some other books that seem to repeat the same thing over and over through half the book, before getting to the nuts and bolts. But this one is constantly smooth to read from start to finish. I couldn't put it down till I was done.

For those willing to work at day trading.
15 Mar 2001
Format:Hardcover
This is an excellent book. I would recommend this book to anyone who is willing to work at day trading. This isn't a book that promises riches in a few easy steps. At the start of the book, the author writes: "If you seek success as a day trader, you'll have to make your money the good old-fashioned way: you'll have to do some work."
In addition to doing a good job of providing an overview of several technical indicators (including lists of the PROS and CONS of each one), the author devotes several chapters to detailed explanations of various approaches.
He also provides information on (the indispensable idea of) system development, practical considerations of day trading, and the psychology of day trading.
Again, to anyone who is serious about day trading, I would HIGHLY recommend this book.

Compleat Guide to Day Trading Stocks
18 Mar 2002
Format:Hardcover
The Compleat Guide to Day Trading Stocks is just that: one of the most complete and very best books ever written on the subject of day trading. Its highly regarded author, Jake Bernstein takes the reader from the very basics such as realistic risk/reward considerations, the essential mechanics of trend-following systems, fundamental vs. technical analysis, timing indicators, stochastics and charts, all the way to clear and precise systems and methods as well as the Psychology of Day Trading. He goes out of his way to make sure that the reader is absolutely aware of all aspects of day trading before making a commitment - including the long and painful learning curve that is inevitable - and clearly states who should not undertake day trading. Having said that, if the reader understands this, and is still firmly committed to making day trading a success, Mr. Bernstein gives his utmost support by going deeply into the nuts and bolts of the art by providing a solid foundation with proven strategies that can be thoroughly back-tested. This is really the most beneficial part of the book for the experienced investor, and is that which sets it apart from the many more general works on the subject. The reader is encouraged to learn and test these methods and systems and to incorporate the ones that are best suited to his/her own investment style. Pitfalls are clearly stated and the writing is extremely fluid and easy to understand. Best of all, the reader subconsciously develops the proper attitude that is so essential to succeed - that day trading should be treated as a serious business which can and will only be successful if done with the proper frame of mind, diligence, hard work, and risk management as well as a dedication to discipline. I highly recommend it!
