MUCH Better than first edition

New edition just out. More sensible approach, and updated. Definitely worth the money, especially for new traders.

Good first book on day trading

If your stock market experience is limited, this book will serve as a good introduction. The material is basic and presented in an easily understood format.

Fabulous Starter-Kit

I think it's an excellent starter book for a novice day-trader. It defines a lot of relevent terms and gives the reader an overview of the trading world-Both about us and the professional, liscensed trader. If you study these chapters, you will defenitely SOUND like an intelligent and sensible day-trader.The ONLY thing I don't agree with is the unimportance of the Level II screens, as the author purports. I think that level II screens are vital to know what the marketmakers real intentions are behind a stock. Does anyone concur?(For those in the viewing audience who don't understand the last chapter, just pick-up this book!) I haven't finished reading the book, yet, but I think it's a terrific confirmation of what to expect as you begin to daytrade.

Five Stars, but only for beginners

Great explination of trading terms and mechanics. If you're looking for a place that will give you a system, read somethng else. I thought it was great because I'm considering doing some practice daytrading and this was an excellent confirmation of all the information I've read on the internet. I've read a couple of other books, but they were mostly anicdotes or someone pushing thier $3000 training system on you. This is the book to start with.
