It's a tough task to write a review for this book. Except it's strong emphasis against herb/consensus investing (but the author didnt tell the way to do contrarian investing at all), I really cant write a summary of what I had learnt from it as I normally did for my other reviews because there's little substance at all. I dont query how elite a FX trader the author is. However, as a trading book lover and a pro trader, I am obliged to warn potential buyers of the bad writing and presentation skill, repetitiveness of one same well acknowledged message and simply uselessness of it. I seldom rate a trading book one star, but this one well deserves it.

p.s. In case you really want to read something really "warrior trading" relevant, I would like to recommend "Way of Warrior Trader: The Financial Risk-Taker's Guide to Samurai Courage, Confidence and Discipline by Richard D. McCall". For those who want to acquire the mind of a successful trader, I suggest "Trading in the Zone: Master the Market with Confidence, Discipline and a Winning Attitude by Mark Douglas".

A waste of money and, worse, a waste of my time. An arrogant, cliche-ridden, and self-promoting text. I hope he doesn't talk to his wife like this. Try Boris Schlossberg's book instead.

Trying to read this book (and I use that term generously) was like trying not to throw up after binge eating and drinking then taking a long boat ride in stormy weather.

I don't even know what to describe about this book except to say it is contrived, snobby and forced. A lot of anger and little substance.

Trading in the Zone: Master the Market with Confidence, Discipline and a Winning Attitude by Mark Douglas is the best choice for you.

If I had bought this book, I would be using it for toilet paper right now. Thankfully, my local library spared me spending one single penny on this.

Clifford Bennett has a hugely limited understanding of macro economics and technical analysis. Often his arguments are full of complete contradiction.

An example of this; is when he suggested the Bank of Japan would come in and support the Yen during the Japanese Nuclear Crisis, which is in complete contradiction to their market operations of the last 25 years where they have been desperately trying to weaken the Yen!

Trying learn to learn to trade from Clifford Bennett is like trying to learn to play golf from an instructor with no hands.

PS he used to work for Sonray whose CEO is likely in line to go to Jail.

Some people love it, some don't, not many in-between! In this book I have simply tried to convey how it really is out there in the market, and how the creation of consensus views come about from an insiders point of view. It is different to other books because it does not suggest there are three easy steps to being a big winner as many do, but suggests trading is a personal journey about developing your own style. I provide real market approaches that actually work and insights as to how many of the top traders actually think and operate. The really big traders do not share their approach as they are not mainstream. If you want to get a handle on how markets really work then read my book. It will help and support your success. I have had e-mails from all over the world from people saying they have found my book to be the best on trading they have ever read, and they now have a unique perspective they have found advantageous in their trading. Some people have not liked the book, but then maybe they were looking for a simplistic three point plan, which in fact does not exist. You can win with a knowledgeable approach that is your own. Warrior Trading is a big help in this regard. May the markets be fair to you, even kind, CB
