Summary: How to Trade Like An Educated Adult
Review: Anyone whosse spend years trading anything from commodities to stocks, bonds, futures, etc., etd, etc., knows every trick, every system, every damn cliche that's come down the subway line. And it's exhausing parsing through the same nonsense year after year only to find the same systems and information you pored over the year before. To everyone who trades I tell you it's all right to grow up now, read Richard Weissman's book and trade--and profit--like an actual adult. For God's sake take a minute and actually think about the information he's developed for you and use it like you've just found the teacher's edition in your high-school statistics class. Otherwise, just read the book of the month, and continue trading your soggy tear-off Monopoly pieces from the sides of your soggy McDonald's cup in the wild hope of bring home a free order of large French Fries.
Free Yourself. Free Your Trading. Free Your Thinking. And For God's Sake Grow Up.

Summary: Good Stuff!!
Review: If you trade, this book is worth every penny of the price. It maps out the whole spectrum of trading systems based on time frames and personality traits. I hope that it will finally force sellers of trading systems to "raise the bar" from where they are now - which assumes that "one system fits all", to where they should be, "let me build a system that matches your trading style". -

Summary: Trading Systems
Review: This book is an excellent book for anybody with an interest in investing money, either professionally or personally. It is very educational on the mechanics and thought processes that traders go through, and is a breath of fresh air confirming that investing is nota 'quick-rich' scheme, but one that takes a plan, patience, and follow through. I'd highly recommend reading this entertaining book, and benefiting from Mr. Weissman's experiences and knowledge!

Summary: great trading book
Review: This is the only trading book you will ever need - it covers trader psychology, system development, technical analysis and price risk management. It deserves to share the shelf with classics like Market Wizards and Reminiscences of a Stock Operator. I wish it had been published at the beginning of my trading career!
