Be A contrarian,
By A Customer
This review is from: Masters of the Futures: Top Players Reveal the Inside Story of the Worlds's Futures Markets (Hardcover)
I will not deny that the traders in this book are all very exceptional. However, I wouldn't trust anyone who came within a mile of an "Omega" conference. Who cares about a mock show? If you are a serious well capitalized trader then you should have no problem going to Chicago and meeting the guys who execute your trades down on the floor. I will say that I am not too sure on how good these "floor trader living legend" books are for off the floor position traders. You are better off buying the "Market Wizards" series. John Train has also written a good book.

The Worst Trading Book Ever Written?,
By Billk@aol.com (Chicago) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Masters of the Futures: Top Players Reveal the Inside Story of the Worlds's Futures Markets (Hardcover)
This book is lacking in so many areas incuding but not limited to substance, accuracy,interest and relevance.The writing and editing are laughable(check out the author's comments above)!This book offers compelling proof in one area:The random typing of chimpanzees is rapidly evolving towards Shakespeare!

Not a futures trading book at all,
This review is from: Masters of the Futures: Top Players Reveal the Inside Story of the Worlds's Futures Markets (Hardcover)
To my very surprise, this book is nothing about trading, but the opinion of senior Exchange executives about the future of Exchanges. If you are a floor trader, you might be interested to know what technology, globalization and govt regulations will affect your job. Otherwise, you will find this book of zero value. The title is definitely misleading. It should be management of the futures exchange, categorized under business management.
