Lots of set-ups. Some set-up's are not set-up's at all. Interesting reading. Some inspirational quotes. Overall worth a buy since there is someting I am sure all individuals will take away from this book. Different articles written by different people makes it an interesting read.

Shameful! What have you contributed to your readers? 25 Sep 2011
By The Duke - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
This book was incredibly disappointing. The book promises to teach you 40 actionable trading setups that you can use. The editors of this book (the book is compiled by editors from the writings of many authors/traders) start each section by praising the trader who is supposedly going to teach you the trade setup and then that trader starts to talk about himself and his experiences as a trader, if that trader has a company, he throws in a plug for it in the same section. The trader then talks to you about a couple of trades that he has made in the past using his set up. But what is his setup?? You will find yourself asking this question over and over again. One of my favorites is a guy called Michael Bigger who talks about value investing and gives examples of companies he bought and made money selling but never gives you any setups?? He never shares any debt to equity ratios, percentages of earnings growth that he looks for, or any "accounting homework" that he does prior to buying a stock. He shares NOTHING! Another time waster is Eddy Elfenbein who absolutely shares nothing!!!!! And the day traders and swing traders are just as bad. So many of them have basically shared the same thing. Consolidation breakouts, moving averages, RSI, MACD, wedges, and my favorite, nothing! The generic setups that maybe found here are half-assed you can't really use them. They haven't provided enough information to you so that you may use them. Remember they didn't share their edge. They just gave you the generic part. The book has probably about three setups that were useful and the authors behind them were sincere in sharing and were not trying to hide their edge. People like John Lee are traders I respect. Furthermore, please be careful when you read the five star reviews of this book; one of the reviewers is actually non other than the editor himself! (you can check for yourself). With the large number of authors for this book it's hard to tell who some of these reviewers are. It's a shame but this book only serves the editors; it provides them with a platform to stroke the egos of traders who contribute to their website. The editors get to make money publishing what the traders share without them having to do much work! too bad in the process of self service the "value" to the reader is lost.

Hold on a second. 6 July 2011
By protrader - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I was really looking forward to this book coming out. I preordered it and even got a bit elated when Amazon said it was going to show up 2 days before the original ship date.

The book was a very easy read, I think I was finished it in an evening or so. I liked how the book gave a nice back story to each of the traders it showcased. The problem I had was the biography was as long or longer the trade setups. The only real actionable trade setups were from @superbee and @upsidetrader. The rest were less than actionable.

If your looking for a book to help you learn a trading style. DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK. If you looking for something fun to read and want to lean bits and pieces of other trading styles well then buy a used copy.

Being a professional trader for over 10 years, I found every little "Edge" in owning this book.

Great Idea but content is crap 27 Oct 2011
By bus books - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I jumped at the idea to read about other traders and their styles. I thought this would be like the series where they interview hedge fund guys but only these are real people. Well they interview them but each chapter doesn't follow any structure. And some of them are down right short. You can barely gain any additional information from readying this book. The best chapter is stockbee who I now regularly follow. Buy this thing used or get it at the library.
