Fans of Trading 101, Sunny Harris' prequel to this book, kind of know what to expect. This time around, she covers how to develop a personal trading method that can form the foundation for a trading business. If you anticipate trading beyond your own account, or trading full-time, this new book shows how to set the business up and how to avoid psychological landmines that plague traders in the everyday course of business.Copyright 1998 by Michael Pellecchia

TRADING 102 has been around a while. Despite such, it is still an outstanding,well organized and easy reading book on designing trading systems and testing them for success. This book is a follow-up to Sunny's first book, "Trading 101" which itself continues to be one of the most important books for new traders. Easy reading despite complex topics is Sunny's hallmark. Before making a trade, read these books and implement the suggestions.
The review speaking of "full of lists" is related to valuable appendices which should be appreciated. Although the book is such easy reading and simplifies complex topics, these concepts are critical to all those who want to trade successfully!!!
Remember, traders are in business for themselves. Sunny's books are therefore "must reads".

I was extremely dissapointed in the book, not so much becasue it was bad, but more because it was not what I expected. I expected a book about starting a money management business, but instead found someone telling me what technical analysis software packages are on the market, and who sells data! While it is broad in its covereage of the process of developing a trading system, I don't think its deep enough to spend the time or the money on.

I found this book to be extremely rewarding to read, chock full of jewels. I loved it so much I have bought two (one for my son-in-law for Father's Day), and am now reading it for the second time. It's the best book I've read yet on trading. She doesn't keep anything back. And, there are tons of references to everything you can't find anywhere else.
