5.0 out of 5 stars Great guide!, May 13, 2003

By	Super Trader - See all my reviews

Mr.Williams never ceases to amaze me. He has done a phenomenal job of putting this compendium together. He doesn't get bogged down in trivial mathematics. He makes futues accessible to the lay person. I have been trading futures as an investor and broker for the past 11 years. ... With my experience I find it is very important that new investors feel like futures is accessible. Mr.Williams does that in all of his books. The is definitely a great reference guide.

3.0 out of 5 stars Old But Classic, February 28, 2002

By	Paul Holt "successtrader1" (NC United States) - See all my reviews

It's a good place to look into one of the greatest trading minds of all-time. The techniques and strategies outlined here are good, but not great. Personally, I felt as if he was holding back a little. I didn't expect him to reveal his best stuff, but he just did the impossible (11,000%+ one year ROE) the year before it was published. The second volume is much better and there's no loss of continuity if you read the second one without this one. 4 stars for 1988, but only 3 by today's standards.

1.0 out of 5 stars Lot's of Smoke..., February 13, 2007

By	Cerius (San Clemente, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Definitive Guide to Futures Trading (Volume II) (Hardcover)

If he spent as much time giving real ideas as he did talking about all the money he made it may have been worth it. His add a contract when you lose on a trade, trading system is a recipe for disaster. Hardly definitive. I wish I could get a refund....
