I honestly didn't learn anything new from this。 Great for beginner investors to learn the basics and differences between investing in stocks, etfs, or bonds。 Also learning how to place limit buys and sells along with options trading。 I did skim through most of the book as I was hoping to maybe learn some new strategies。 I honestly didn't learn anything new from this。 Great for beginner investors to learn the basics and differences between investing in stocks, etfs, or bonds。 Also learning how to place limit buys and sells along with options trading。 I did skim through most of the book as I was hoping to maybe learn some new strategies。 。。。more

This book made me realize how easy is to understand and plan strategies from the point zero。
Anthony Newell,
What you would expect for a for dummies book。 Provides lots of good information about trading。
Donald,
I suppose I might have found this one more informative if I wasn't already investing, swing trading, and trading options。 Still, the over-arching theme seems to be that day trading isn't for everyone。 Like anything having to do with the markets, one must dabble, stick a toe in, get past the goose bumps, leave emotions out of it, and be brutally honest with yourself。Want to daytrade?Learn to read charts; my favorite book is written by the guy who introduced Candlestick Charting to the western wor I suppose I might have found this one more informative if I wasn't already investing, swing trading, and trading options。 Still, the over-arching theme seems to be that day trading isn't for everyone。 Like anything having to do with the markets, one must dabble, stick a toe in, get past the goose bumps, leave emotions out of it, and be brutally honest with yourself。Want to daytrade?Learn to read charts; my favorite book is written by the guy who introduced Candlestick Charting to the western world, Steve Nison。 Then, read a million charts and follow the action of a million more。 。。。more
Abhi Yerra,
Solid coverage of someone interested in day trading including basic strategies, taxes, and regulation。 A good starting point for sure。
Stephen,
Good intro to the topic。
Peter Lopez,
I think the best thing that this book kept repeating is the statistic that most day traders fail。
Filippo Pivetta,
An excellent book that introduces you to the world of trading in a simple and interesting way。 It provides a perfect foundation for starting from scratch and several insights。The book is written in simple, conversational language, suitable for beginners。I recommend it to those who approach this world for the first time but it is not essential to those who already know the basics of trading。
Artem,
It’s is a dictionary。 It will not teach you day tradingYou can easily avoid this book as it doesn’t have any serious day trading guides or strategy review。 In a nutshell it is a huge dictionary of everything trading starting with where you can get more info and what kind of PC you need to day trade。 I do not recommend the book
Paul,
Did not cover technical analysis enough for me。 The book was more concerned about the psychology of a trader than anything else。 I did become more clear on definitions and terms that I see thrown around the trading communities more。
Praveen Rana,
Not that of a good book。 If you've read other books then you'll find it boring。 I completed the book with just sub headings。 Some pointers might work for newbs。 Not that of a good book。 If you've read other books then you'll find it boring。 I completed the book with just sub headings。 Some pointers might work for newbs。 。。。more

Tanmay Jadhav,
Ah! i wish i could just rate it a zero star。 This book is an un-organised mess。 It has curated super technical stuff from all around the market and put it into the book even if it doesn't concern day trading。 The books seems to focus too heavily on positional and fundamental trading and just asks us to be a good lad and apply those concepts to day trading which in the author's own words is very very different from the former。 Please don't read this as a started。 I'm sure it'll just leave you dis Ah! i wish i could just rate it a zero star。 This book is an un-organised mess。 It has curated super technical stuff from all around the market and put it into the book even if it doesn't concern day trading。 The books seems to focus too heavily on positional and fundamental trading and just asks us to be a good lad and apply those concepts to day trading which in the author's own words is very very different from the former。 Please don't read this as a started。 I'm sure it'll just leave you dis-illusioned。 May i recommend "How i day trade for a living"- Andrew Aziz as a started book for anybody interested in day trading。Uh。 。。。more
Jay Raymond,
good starting point into the world of trading。
John,
A VERY accurate title。 Another title would be learn to go broke from the comfort of your own home。
Matthew,
Everyone Needs to Read this book
Justin,
Don't bother reading this。No flow to this book, just information all over the place。 Much better alternatives out there for people looking to learn the basics of trading。 Don't bother reading this。No flow to this book, just information all over the place。 Much better alternatives out there for people looking to learn the basics of trading。 。。。more
Mike S,
JP's review is good。 I'd just like to add that this is a good read for any beginner, to familiarize yourself with investing in general, even if you're not interested in day trading。 I'm reading about swing trading and this is one of the books I got to make sure I had the basics covered before reading books targeted to swing trading。 JP's review is good。 I'd just like to add that this is a good read for any beginner, to familiarize yourself with investing in general, even if you're not interested in day trading。 I'm reading about swing trading and this is one of the books I got to make sure I had the basics covered before reading books targeted to swing trading。 。。。more
Prabu Manoharan,
ok with intro & techniques but the book is not brief on any topics。
BLACK CAT,
I think I will read about swing trading now。 I did not enjoy the idea of trading debt money。Good introduction。
JP,
Solid coverage in the usual Dummies series format, which means it's targeted to the novice or potentially interested day trader。 What's most important is that she provides critical caveats and considerations, plus a reality check about the typical day in the life。 Some of the company and news source entries are already outdated (a year after the 2011 edition), but that reflects the ever-changing nature of the industry。 Solid coverage in the usual Dummies series format, which means it's targeted to the novice or potentially interested day trader。 What's most important is that she provides critical caveats and considerations, plus a reality check about the typical day in the life。 Some of the company and news source entries are already outdated (a year after the 2011 edition), but that reflects the ever-changing nature of the industry。 。。。more
