Complete Trader - I jumped into NT call options of June 30. The options were priced at 1 1/2 and the stock at 85 1/2. Since I selected the option using the 6% to Double Rule, I expected to stay in until either NT reached 90 or broke the trend line. In 2 days NT reached 90 1/2 and I sold my option for 3 3/4...more than DOUBLING MY MONEY in 2 trading days! Wheeeeee!!! Thanks...His Complete Trader Nickname: Wardog (Arizona)

Complete Trader - We were determined to buy CTAS on May 19. Our gut feeling was that the stock had bottomed and was ready to jump into new high ground...the stock was up $2 from the previous day's close and it appeared it was going to close up $2 or better by day's end...and it did.

However, your indicators showed that this was probably a FALSE BREAKOUT. We decided to honor the indicators. Turns out is was...YOU SAVED US A BUNDLE. Now when the indicators finally agree that the time is right, we can ga ahead and buy with complete confidence...with Complete Trader! Their Complete Trader Nickname: Crazy Couple (Ohio)

Complete Trader - I was tired of the old "Pump 'n' Dump" --- buying stocks that others have recommended only to watch them plummet a few days after. With your help I have made a 112% GAIN IN MY TRADING EFFORTS in just 21 days! I have never before gotten such a return in the years I have traded. I will strongly recommend you to anyone that truly wants to succeed in the Stock Market. His Complete Trader Nickname: Doeboy (Missouri)

Complete Trader - Using yourTurbo and Trend Indicators along with trend lines, I bought a September put option on GTW on May 17th and sold on the 24th for a 16% profit. 16% IN 6 TRADING DAYS is OK by me! His Complete Trader Nickname: Bob$ter (Ohio)

2.0 out of 5 stars Beginners Guide to becoming a Complete Trader trading option, May 18, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Beginners Guide to Becoming a CompleteTrader - Trading Stock Options (Paperback)
This is a very, very, basic document on Options. If one wants athorough understanding of options, the CBOE has a large selection ofdocuments at no cost. They also offer seminars throughout the country also for free.

The best characterization of the Book is an "InfoMercial" for a product they sell. Infact when you go to their Web Page, ... and subscribe using the special offer, you will receive a copy for Free.

1.0 out of 5 stars Book Incomplete ..., March 29, 2000
This review is from: The Beginners Guide to Becoming a CompleteTrader - Trading Stock Options (Paperback)
You should know first that I am not an options expert. I am just a person who thinks he might want to get into trading options, and has spent only the past few months buying and reading books on the subject.

The book "The Beginners Guide to Becoming a CompleteTrader", is not worth spending money on for several reasons. Although the introductory material about option trading is accurate (as far as I can tell), the book is more of an advertisement for a technical analysis measurement called "T-Indicators". The book doesn't tell you what a "T-Indicator" is. ( ) I am certainly not qualified to judge the quality of any particular indicator, but I have read enough to know that there are thousands of indicators out there, and that a bit of study about them is in order before adopting any particular indicator. Whatever a "T-Indicator" is, you will not learn anything about it by reading this book.

I ordered this book from Amazon.com, read it in less than an afternoon (really) ...

You should also know before you buy this book that it is "vello bound", meaning that it looks like a spiral notebook, giving it a cheap look-and-feel for a book. END
