This was a very comprehensive manual on the subject matter. It did a great job of portraying how difficult it is to successfully participate in a system that is largely rigged for the major players. It was ultra complex and somewhat repetitive in some sections and that kept me from rating it higher. I would give it 4 stars for scope and reach and 3 stars for execution.

1. The formatting was laid out very well. I enjoy non-fictional books that mildly organized like blog posts.

2. The content was on the mark and very helpful.

3. I enjoyed how the first third of the book was dedicated to shifting your mindset to the realities of what day trading really is. It seems easier to lay seeds on a foundation that is prepped well.

Good ready for the brand new trader!

This is the perfect book for the potential trader who knows very little about the market, as well as a good reminder for those that need to remember the psychology and risk involved in day trading. Not a lot of meet for anyone seeking definitive information on indicators or strategy.

Won't make you money, but likely will lose you money. I am a successful day trader. I don't do the things that I have read in these books.

Ok but pretty basic. No new concepts nut perhaps a different was of looking at things.

Pretty good overview of day trading, with lots of discussion of the psychology needed, as well as things to look for.

繼前一本不屑技術分析的投資最重要的事
這次改看這本不太提基本面分析的書

本書提到
散戶對比機構投資人的劣勢、簡介各種投資標的、技術分析在用的線&圖等等
算是對新手友善的書籍

作者提到移動平均線會有些自我應驗預言的現象
就我的理解,技術分析大致上算是群體心理及行為的統計結果論吧,跟風水有點像
有一堆人在上面套牢,在漲上去的時候這些人會開始賣,導致股價跌一點回來——簡稱為壓力
在不太受控的馬車、牛車橫行的時代,道路延伸正對的住宅出事率比路邊的高——簡稱為路沖
就這觀點來看,技術分析的部分內容我可以相信
像是 Fibonacci retracement 之類猜不透道理的還是看過就算了

有部分內容多次重複
有的名詞前面提及,後續章節才解釋(或不解釋)
算是本書的缺點吧

Day trading 101

I found this book on day trading to be overwhelming with information. I did like how it goes explained everything I needed to know on the subject especially considering I am a newbie to the topic. My husband has been interested in stocks and trading for some time now so it was a good read to get some info on the subject. The first half of the book is an education. Then to me it got pretty dry talking about stats and graphs and making trading plans. The good thing however is each chapter has a small summary to bring you back to the main points especially if you find the book overwhelming like I did. I recommend this book to anyone serious about getting into day trading. They say in the book several times how much of a gamble it is and how you should consider it a full time job. Not really for me but I still feel extra educated on the subject. I received this book at some promotional price in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.

not really around my ally.

I'm not saying it's a bad book nor am I saying it's a good book but for me honestly it was very hard to understand since I'm not that at all interested in any sort of trading. I did read through a few chapters and skimmed the rest. It was very confusing and I did have to re-read and ask questions. After reading through some of the reviews on people whom actually understand and are interested I would say it's a good book. The author clearly knows what he's talking about. I on the other hand don't. If your interested in any sort of tradr, earning money, etc. this is definitely your book.
