1.0 out of 5 stars This book is about managing risk, not Futures, April 27, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: The Four Biggest Mistakes in Futures Trading (Paperback)
If you want to learn about futures, don't buy this book. Dr. Elder's book "Trading for a Living" covers risk management better in the first 3 chapters than this whole book.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Four Biggest Mistakes in Futures Trading, October 25, 2007
This review is from: The Four Biggest Mistakes in Futures Trading (Paperback)
This is a very good book to read. Especially if you already know what its like to make and lose $$$ money trading in real time. Definately this book did a good job at opening my eyes even further in my trading. I would reccomend this book for the trader in a advanced beginner stage or at a intermediate level.

This review is from: The Four Biggest Mistakes in Futures Trading (Paperback)
Given that four out of the five reviews for this book are duplicates, I'd tend to favor the fifth, which wasn't very complimentary.
