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.

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!

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.

I would give this book zero stars if I could. There is very little information of any real value. I can't believe I paid good money for this pile of scrap paper.

I have known Scott for many years, I feel he's a rising star in the futures industry. He is very entertaining and he's honest and knows how to talk to the every day trader. His book is worth reading and his mock trading shows are a must. 5 stars all the way. Congrats Scott on a great book

you can't ask for bigger names then Leo Melamed, Jack Sandner, Hal Hansen, Barry Lind,and many others. Scott does an excellent job in putting together a well rounded book on the future of futures. I enjoyed his questions and his insights. I just purchased his book at the Omega Research show in Las Vegas, I also was a participant in his mock trading show inwhich I truly enjoyed. Scott is very funny, and talented. I can't wait to see him perform again, thanks to the Omega Research show I got to meet him. Scott all the best and thanks for putting me in your show

I read Scott Slutsky's book in one night. He writes like he performs on stage during his mock trading sessions, full of energy. He asked good questions to hard subjects, I feel everyone should read this book. This is not just commodities, it's global politics at it's best.

I'm a customer of Alaron Trading, and I have read Scott Slutsky's book. I really enjoyed hearing what Joel Greenberg had to say about the future of trading. His insights have inspired me to work harder at my trading. I have seen Scott Slutsky perform at his mock trading shows, he is quite the speaker, I truly enjoy watching him and learning from him. Scott keep up the good work

I have known Scott for many years and his material keeps getting better and better. I am proud to be a trader right now in NYC and things have gotten rough since 9/11. But this book helped me earn over $500,000 in net worth to this day. I recommend this book to anyone that has ever been interested in the trading enviroment and who wants to make money fast!!!

I had the privledge of meeting Scott in Las Vegas, and I'll tell you he puts on one great show. He just shows me how far his talents really go, his book is wonderful with plenty of insights, a must read for all investors. I can't wait for his next book. and I'll be the first one in line for his mock trading show at Omega research in May99... Thanks Scott
