Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

Praise for electronic trading masters

"Electronic Trading Masters offers you the blueprints for successfully day trading the markets. Readers will do well to have highlighting markers to emphasize the many profitable trading ideas that they'll find in this book."-William F. Eng, consultant, investment advisor, trader, and author of The Day Trader's Manual

"Great interviews with diversified insights into the market."-Tony Oz, author of Stock Trading Wizard and The Stock Trader

"Now that day trading has matured, it's good to be able to sit back and reflect on where it has gone. This interesting and readable book does just that by interviewing successful traders and presenting new ideas that are as inexhaustible as traders are different. It confirms yet again that no one looks after you better than yourself!"-Bob Baird, cocreator of Brokersaurus.com and coauthor of Electronic Day Trading to Win

? Interviews cover a wide range of hugely successful traders, from independent traders to market makers to system architecture designers

? Discover what systems the interviewees trade on, what skills they use, how they approach money management--and how they handle their emotions

? Includes a fascinating overview of what has brought the markets to the exciting point they are at today, including background on technological advances and the changing market climate

3.0 out of 5 stars OK if you like Trading Books, January 1, 2002
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Electronic Trading Masters: Secrets from the Pros! (Wiley Online Trading for a Living) (Hardcover)
The interviews in this book were interesting if you enjoy reading trading books. Even one or two usable nuggets of information for traders. However, if you are looking for a "how to book" you should look elsewhere.

3.0 out of 5 stars A moderate trading book, June 26, 2003
This review is from: Electronic Trading Masters: Secrets from the Pros! (Wiley Online Trading for a Living) (Hardcover)
If you are a casual amateur investor who enjoys reading trading books of the interview type, this is okay. If you aspire to be a pro and are actually a pro, you wont be satisfied with the depth and width of it. The trading styles of the interviewees, and so are the Q&As, are just so diverse that one can hardly grasp something "profitable" to his/her own trading. Of course, most of them do mention "no loss averaging, keep losses small, have discipline" blah blah blah, but do most of the trading books talk about the same stuff?

4.0 out of 5 stars Electronic Trading Masters by Pro Trader, January 26, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Electronic Trading Masters: Secrets from the Pros! (Wiley Online Trading for a Living) (Hardcover)
This book is a refreshing change from other books written by "Market Gurus". Author & Trader Allen Baird interviews top day traders and the traders themselves tell why they are successful , what they look for when they make a trade ,their background and trading styles. Interview with Matt Anderson-President of the Island ECN was quite interesting.
