Editorial Reviews

Review

My hats off to Lawrence Black and Todd Hawley for writing one of the most informative books on the exciting world of SOES/ECN day trading. The Microtrading Revolution should be on the desk of every single trader that is [trading] or has the intention of trading via direct execution systems. I require all of my traders to have a copy. If you have the desire to trade for a living this is a book that you absolutely have to read. Highly recommended. -- Oliver L. Velez, Editor, The Pristine Day Trader, June 11, 1998

From the Publisher

Co-authors Lawrence Black and Todd Hawley were among the first microtraders to use personal computers and conventional phone lines to execute trades on the Nasdaq market through SOES and electronic networks such as Instinet. They have executed over 30,000 trades on their own behalf and coined the term microtrading to describe their fast-paced intraday style of extracting profits from the market.

1.0 out of 5 stars price is disproportionate to value, December 30, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Microtrading Revolution (Mass Market Paperback)

This book, pamphlet really, should be titled, "A very basic and general introduction to day trading," and as such, it would be fairly priced at $8.95 or $10.95. At $34.95, however, it is nigh-robbery. Do not expect to find anything in the way of tactical or strategic advice that you can use to actually evaluate potential trades. What you will find instead are all the "handle with care" warnings that form the introductions to the other by now well-known books about day trading. The latter, needless to say, offer far better value. I repsect the fellows at Pristine Trader a great deal and it was on their advice, in an amazon review!, that prompted me to get the book. I am at a loss as to what they saw in the book.

I received this book today, but will return it tomorrow.

Avoid this book and move on, priced to high and information in this book can be found in much cheaper books on daytrading.

1.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely No Content, August 24, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Microtrading Revolution (Mass Market Paperback)

I have read approximately 24 books on trading in the last four months, spending in excess of one thousand dollars. This, I am sorry to say, is the only one I sent back. It has absolutely very little information on microtrading or any other trading as far as that goes. A much better book would be the Electronic daytrader which gives insights needed for microtrading and much more content in the equipment needed and the sources available to trade successfully.
