5.0 out of 5 stars
No kidding,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Futures Game: Who Wins, Who Loses, & Why (Hardcover)
If you are going to trades futures, read this book, make a few trades, then read this book again. It is a cold, hard look at the reality of trading. While just about every other book on futures trading assumes you are a gullible idiot, this one exposes the difficulty of the pursuit. Its depth and breadth are incomparable.

A great futures primer.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Futures Game: Who Wins? Who Loses? Why? (Paperback)
This book provides an excellent overview of futures trading. It also deals with options and spreads. Anyone who can completely digest the contents of this entire book may be able to gain a slight edge over other novice, unsophisticated traders. This book is also reccomended by the great Victor Niederhoffer, in his book "Education of a Speculator".
