Ignore the fools. The only reason some may critique the book is that they don't understand Victor is a high revenue generating Options trader providing you a short cut to Macro principles you need to know as a trader... the most overlooked area of Trading. This is where Soros lives, this is where those who run Hedge funds live in their Global Macro thinking. Its relevant, it makes money and its a introduction manual into the other side away from Technical s. The naysayers who think not are kidding themselves and aren't profitable traders. This is the book you need before ANY TECHNICAL BOOK, but AFTER one or two of the Psychology books.. IN THAT ORDER Psychology /Macro economics /Technical s. Newbies start with Technical s and get stuck there. MASSIVE ERROR.
