Summary: The author handles a difficult subject well
Review: Ms. Turner has written a good book for the beginning trader.

She handles the difficult technical subjects well, and illustrates her key points through the use of helpful exhibits, narrative, and even a little humor now and then.

...The price of this book was definitely right. While in the bookstore I browsed through several other trading books but found them to be either too expensive... or unintelligible, like they were written by college professors.

As a suggestion, I hope future editions of the book will include an expanded list of online brokers. The list on page 26 includes only the "name" brokers, e.g. Schwab, Ameritrade, etc. It would have been nice to include some of the lesser known--and possible cheaper--brokers whose commission schedules may be more attractive to hyper-active traders.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: To the point and informative
Review: I knew practically nothing about reading stock charts and day trading and this book somehow made everything seem so simple and has given me a place to start from. The book covers many topics and is enjoyable to read. Toni Turner really explains things how she would like to learn it if she was just getting started. It gave me a broad knowledge of different topics and recommended certain books to expand my knowledge in certain chapters. Very well done!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: All in all a very decent book
Review: This book is not bad. It is not anything like Hit & Run Trading, but it is a good start.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Certainly worth the time and money
Review: Not being much of a book reader overall, I am VERY skeptical about most books, going in. However, this book has solid information, a minimal amount of fluff and is well written. After thoroughly studying/reading it, I found myself RE-reading a large portion of this book to further review the techniques it outlines. Thats rare! Bottom line, good book. Buy it.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Good reading - bad advice
Review: This book is a good read, and the author is a talented writer.

But this is the most awful trading book ever writen.

So if you want a good read buy this book.

If you want to lose all of your money, then apply the self contradicting, convoluted, over-dramaticized advice given in this book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This book will save you money!
Review: I've read a lot of trading books and this is one of the best. This lady is smart and it *will* save you money and make you money to read this book. She educates you on how to trade in 4 different time frames (short term, swing, daytrade, scalp) and how to avoid the perils and pitfalls in each. Lots of helpful lists. Many screen shots and explanations of Level II screens. At $15 its a bargain. I don't know Toni Turner, just admire her greatly and I absolutely believe she is a successful trader.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An excellent addition to the trader's library
Review: This is a well written introductory book for those considering the business of Day Trading. It's also an excellent book to add to an existing trader's library. Toni allows for easy absorption of a few popular trading styles, such as "trend trading" and "breakouts". She also does a fine job of explaining entry and exit points which alone can destroy a trading account if not adhered to.

If this is the first or second book you've purchased on Day Trading keep in mind you will need to purchase additional books on this subject matter in order to begin to grasp the different trading techniques. And that goes for any book. I have found that reading numerous books on any given subject allows for consistency of what makes sense. I have a large library of trading concepts. At some point, be it book number 3 or book number 10 you will finally say, aaaaaaaaaaaaah. I get it!

I would encourage Toni to consider writing an advanced book on this subject.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: 5 STARS?!!!!!!
Review: I read the book. If you know about trading, you can tell that Ms. Turner does not trade!.( As a matter of fact I KNOW she is not trading, because she doesn't know how!!!) I wounder if she is the one giving her book 5 star reviews!. That could be a full time job!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Don't start trading without this!
Review: Like the movie Platoon where you don't just watch the movie, but you're sucked out of your chair into the battle scene, Toni's book takes you into the tortured mind of a trader in the midst of battle...feeling the knots in his insides while watching his trade take a nose dive without a sell stop! Much of the book described me and how I made my losses. My only regret is not having read this book BEFORE I went into trading. With this book, I now have a blueprint on how to undo (read: earn back) the mistakes I took early on when I thought I could beat the market by "winging it". Yes, the book goes beyond being a good literary read. It's a beginner's hand-holding guide on what trading is all about and how to profit from it. The book does what it promises. A minor complaint (publisher's fault and not the author's) is that some charts being discussed are on a different page. It was annoying at best to flip back and forth between the text and the chart.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Perfect for the Beginner
Review: I have been day trading for over a year now and I would have loved to have this book last year. Even though the book is labeled as a beginner book it can even teach us veteran online traders a thing or two. I have focused on trading penny stocks online since the Internet enables you to make the most money from the low priced stocks now that the commissions are usually under $20. I have combined the information from this book and The Guide For Penny Stock Investing to make a tremendous amount of money. I highly recommend both books.
