Customer Reviews

Excellent trading book to learn how it works - get it!

Toni's writing style is clear and concise as she covers dozens of useful tips and strategies in this well-written book. Most trading books are not worth reading; however this gem is one of the few (along w/Steve Nison and Tony Oz and Barry Rudd's) that I put in the "must-read if you're learning how to trade" category. I recommend it to my traders at Daytrading University and it's on the 'short list' of highly recommended reads. She covers many strategies from start to finish and this is a well written strategy guide, with very well-planned coverage of trading essentials, plus a few advanced tips that are useful as well. Nice work - buy this book!

Easy book, but same the old one

it is good and easy style book. but if you have her first book, you do not need to buy the second one. nothing new expet that she added some about money management

Simplicity

I believe anyone who is even considering this book has heard of the horror stories of day trading and wants to learn and TRY to avoid all the pitfalls so many have before. Some people review this book as incomplete or too vague. However, I believe this books takes the beginner and walks them through the critical areas they need to understand before placing one trade. She covers enough to make you aware of the most common indicators that traders use. The basics on what you need to start your trading experience on the right foot. Then you can develop further with experience and learning.

A Great Book for Novice or Experienced

This is one of the best books I have read on trading. It was so interesting and easy to read that I finished the book the day I got it. And I learned a ton. The author explained complex key points concisely in easy-to-understand English. The key points and tips offered in the book is practical and suitable for both the novice and seasoned traders. The author also touched on the trading psychology early on - a critical issue many other books don't address. I particularly enjoy the quotes from Jesse Livermore at the beginning of each chapter and the Hot Tips throughout the book.

An excellent introduction to Swing Trading

The author's second book on the subject goes into short-term trading in more depth than in her first guide, which covered Day, Swing, and longer term trading. She writes in a lively, entertaining style that makes learning a very difficult subject simple and entertaining. In addition, she includes very neccessary advice on the psychological aspects of trading, which any successful trader will tell you is about 90% of the game. The techniques included here are tried and true and used by the most successful (read: surviving) traders. There's no spin here, and no angle or hidden agenda being push. What's written in this book is a sincere effort to convey to the reader how to win at short-term trading.
