5.0 out of 5 stars A book to read many times, January 10, 2008

By	U. J. Silvestrini "trader" (Italy) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is a must! If you are a trader with some experience, you'll find many good habits that everyone should learn at the beginning...and not after loosing money..
Practical to plan your trading activity, rich of emotional and money management advises.
If you're looking for the holy grail of trading systems, this in not the case, but if you think about being a full time trader, this is rich of good material to learn.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book and support from the author, February 12, 2008

By	Mark Twain "developerx1" (United States) - See all my reviews

I found this book to be the missing link in my trading. I've long been struggling to find a framework with which I could understand and develop a complete trading strategy. The author does an excellent job with the codex approach in both explaining his framework and providing an example using his Goodman Swing trading system (in addition he also shares this system for those would like to use it). The book also provides very good insight into all the components of a complete trading strategy, how they work together and why they must be complimentary, thus allowing the strategy to evolve or adapt. The author was very prompt in responding to my email asking for some clarifications, and in fact provided me with more information than I asked for. The book is well written and edited, there was very little that was not clearly explained and very understandable. Thanks again to Mr. Archer and his editors for what I believe is one of the best books on trading system/strategy development available today.

1.0 out of 5 stars Unhelpful. Poorly written. No real advice at all., October 25, 2008

By	David Roberts (Baghdad) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

1) I do not think this is a good "Getting Started" book. I'd recommend the Dummies series as a first book. It's simple, to the point and much more organized. If this is the book you start with, you will end up more confused.

2) I honestly can say I do not think I picked up one piece of useful information from this. Granted this isn't the first book I read so maybe there's a point in there somewhere that someone might get... but not me.

3) Bad writing. I can see where there was potential in some things he wrote to be useful, but it just didn't come across that way. No offense meant to Archer. He is, after all an active TRADER (at least according to the back cover) and not a writer, but the writing makes it difficult to get through.

I only read this because my mom got it for me. I wouldn't have bought this book myself.
