5.0 out of 5 stars One of the cheapest books I've ever read, 1 April 2002
By A Customer
This book is very well written and very clear. It starts from the crude fact that 95% of day traders in fact lose their time and their money. The authors describe all common errors which lead most day traders to ruin and draw a roadmap to success. This is a long and severe way to go, involving redefinition of your beliefs about yourself and about trading. I've been in the trading stuff for a long time as an individual trader and I've read a lot about trading strategies and technical analysis. Nonetheless I soon realized after a few pages that the focus of this book was about something I never considered too seriously. In fact, what is really hard to understand both for the beginner and for the experienced trader, is that the secret of trading successfully is mostly inside yourself. If you've been looking for the Holy Grail around the world and you haven't found it yet, just read this book. You'll find out that the Holy Grail was too difficult for you to see because it was too close to you.
Trading strategies are also illustrated in this book which are very simple to understand and to be learned. Market-making strategies are low-risk strategies which are particularly recommended to beginners. Momentum strategies are also illustrated which require an higher degree of self-discipline to be correctly executed.
Considering both the deep wisdom contained in this book and the price of this book, I had to conclude that this is really one of the cheapest books I've ever read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential reading!, 2 Dec 2003
I have bought and read a lot of trading books since starting trading 14 months ago (approx 12 books). Most trading books cover pretty much the same topics regarding TA and stock picking, however this one is different.

The book is easy to read for the beginner but is not too basic for the more experienced trader. Real-world trading examples are used to demonstrate principles (though they are American examples).
This really is a book that can take you from a beggining trader to a profitable trader, or at the very least it will stop you from losing all your money (which can happen very quickly in this game).

The book covers a lot of ground, but it's primary strengths are where it covers money management and trading psychology.
The psychology side permeates the whole book as well as having dedicated sections, with some revelations that seem obvious after reading, but demonstrate the way our mindset gets stuck in a rut. A rut that can cost you everything on the markets.
The money management sections are just a goldmine pure and simple, they could save you the price of the book on your first trade!

If my bookshelf caught fire, I would aim the extinguisher at this book first. (That's a slight untruth as it has a permanent place of residence in my laptop bag and goes everywhere with me).

Read it, then read it again and promise yourself that you will follow it's teachings before you put one penny into the money markets.

2.0 out of 5 stars Lots of noise not much substance!, 15 May 2004
I had to write this comment to balance the view on this book, having just read it. If you are serious about investing, look somewhere else.

There is a small part of this book that offers an insight on the general aspects of RealTick and CyberTrader, but I think reading brokers manuals would do better. There is no strategy in this book for investing, just lots of babble. I wasted my time and I am writing this just to spare your valuable time!

I very much doubt these people can make money trading, just publishing poor quality books like this. I am sorry if this sounds harsh. If you don't trust my view, read Chapter 1 and no further! It'll give you a taste of the crap they preach, don't expect things to get any more intelligent than this.

Dr Tharp borrows concepts from Stephen Covey but fails to deliver them in the same style, making a pig's breakfast about the personal aspects of trading.

It's a shame that Jack Schwager mentions Tharp in his superb books on Market Wizards! Jack you ought to know better!

Harsh criticism, but this is the only way to warn people and to dissuade these charlatans from publishing insulting books on investment!
