2.0 out of 5 stars Very poorly written, January 2, 2000

This book is about a great topic ~ Day Trading. The author(s) seem to be relatively knowledgable but fail miserably to "make it happen" in this book. Full of spelling mistakes, capitalization & sytax errors, and very bad cliches, it is hard to find a chapter with reasonable, intellectual flow. The graphics are poor and there is absolutely NO COLOR GRAPHS which are vital in reading Level II NASDAQ tools. In short, I have read it and would not recommend it to anyone with higher than a fifth grade education. In fact, it is the worse book on the topic I have yet to read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Five Stars, but only for beginners, September 28, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Complete Idiot's Guide to Daytrading Like a Pro (Paperback)

Great explination of trading terms and mechanics. If you're looking for a place that will give you a system, read somethng else. I thought it was great because I'm considering doing some practice daytrading and this was an excellent confirmation of all the information I've read on the internet. I've read a couple of other books, but they were mostly anicdotes or someone pushing thier $3000 training system on you. This is the book to start with.

2.0 out of 5 stars FOR IDIOTS ONLY!, December 26, 1999

Just as the title suggests, it is a book for idiots only. I have to admit, I was an idiot for buying this book! I ordered this book along with Street Smarts, Hit & Run Trading, Stock Trading Wizard, and Day Trading into the Millennium. I recommend any of the other books as a much, much better choice.

Why is it that amazon does not discount the GOOD books?
