There has been a rash of sales pitches for expensive chat rooms and seminars disguised as books (see Velez' poorly written "Master Day Trader" book for another example) and This is another one.

The book has a nice cover, great graphics. "Don't judge a book by its cover" fits perfectly. There was nothing advanced in this book, a lot of simple "how to look at a trend" type of information. Nothing on market maker plays or time & sales strategies.

Another disappointing sales brochure disguised as a book by OTA. It's almost as bad as their level 2 spiral bound notebook (not quite as bad, at least this one doesn't have all the typos). Let's encourage book writers to Not promote their websites' highly overpriced services via their books... anyone with me on that?

Look at books by T. Turner and J. Cooper instead... also check out Friedfertig/Nassar for good introductory books.

This book is very basic, hastily written and offers absolutely no advanced trading tips whatsoever. Read Tony Oz' "Stock Trading Wizards" for a solid advanced day trading book. Our traders at Daytrading University, trainingaloha.com, benefit from good books, but I do not recommend this title as it offers nothing that could benefit anyone but the greenest of traders. 'Daytrading Into the Millenium' by Turner is also good, as are the Schwager's 'Market Wizards' books. If you buy this, you'll return it like I did. Flipped through it in 30 minutes and said 'so what's new?'. Can't blame these guys for trying to cash in on the daytrading phenomenon, I just wish they'd produce a meaningful or insightful book. This one's a dud.

For the authors that is. There is nothing in this book that you will not find in the book Electronic Day Trading Made Easy by Misha Sarkovich, which is about half the price of this book. Misha's book covers all that is in this book and a lot more. Do not buy this book.

Any book written with the intention of selling a $3000 boot camp to its readers doesn't have the readers best interest in mind.

Everything that comes out of this place seems to be overpriced beginner material. There is nothing advanced at all about this book, I felt like I was being talked down to, as there was no "meat".

Funny, the occasional positive reviews for this book sound like they were all written by the authors themselves, using different names. This book is not advanced, has nothing at all about market maker plays.

Everything the OTA puts out should be labeled "Warning-Rookies Only Need Read this - Give us Your Money". I spent $3000 on their boot camp, boy what a ripoff.

I should have bought more books from Amazon on trading and saved my money. There are some other good trading books out there, this is not one of them. Try books by Cooper, Turner, Murphy, Abell; they're all solid. This one's a loser.

Any reader could see the difference and the knowledge that comes from two very experienced and very proffessional traders who are willing to expose to the public what they have gained with time. 99% of the content is useful and even traders should have this book and read it from time to time in order to keep themselves in track. I will read this book again and again, because I believe that I will gain more every time I am reading it. I thank Fernando and William as a trader for their contribution in our Trading Family.

I have read many, many Day Trading books in search of the Holy Grail. Most books give you the same fundamentals (blah, blah, blah). This book gave me more "hands on" techniques that I am using successfully. It is the most "real world" book I have read and not overloaded with theoretical ideas and technicals. To each his own but it is my favorite....

This is an attempt to capitalize on day trading craze but htere is no substance. Other books in this area such as Friefertag, Nssar, and DeMark have much more to offer. Don't waste your time with this empty book.

This book is a general, vague recitation of various and dundry themes expressed in more specific and valuable contexts in many other books, including those offered free by many electronic vendors. No specific information can be gleaned from this attempt to capitalize on the day trading theme. I recommend DeMark's book or Larry Williams' book on short term trading as suitable alternatives.

Worst day trading book on the market and I know i read them all!Very little substance. Sub-standard information in every category.Patel's book is much better.
