CONCISE AND TO THE POINT... CHOCK FULL OF INFORMATION!!!
As a relative newcomer who is seeking to research and break into to the world of electronic trading I found myself both challenged and motivated by Mr. Nassar's book. In very easy to read style,the author explains in systematic,bite-sized chapters eveything a person needs to know to enter into the exciting arena of daytrading. Market analysis, trading strategies,defining your E-DAT style, the physcology of daytrading... It's all there. One thing that I particularly appreciated about the book was the lack of "hype and hooplah" regarding electronic trading. Unfortunately, in so many contemperary writings on the subject the authors make it sound like electronic trading is nothing more than a glorified slot machine where anyone who pulls the handle will get rich quick. As I progressed thru each chapter of Mr. Nassar's book I received the impression that electronic daytrading is a skill and an art that is developed and that those who fine tune those skills will be justly rewarded. As a bonus, there are a number of appendix at the rear of the book that explain electronic trading and Wall Street terms, market makers and their symbols, as well as suggestions for trading software and quotation services. On a final note,I so appreciated the reasonable cost of the book which seems to be less than half of other titles on the subject. All in all it was a great read. Thanks David!

Read Chapter 5
Picked up this book at our local library. Was'nt expecting much, but then I flipped through to Chapter Five.Chapter Five is worth the book price. In it you will learn how the market is moved, by watching the bid/ask prices and size.
I only trade futures, not stocks, but the information in chapter five confirmed the reality of trading in all markets. The strong money will win - every time - at will. You need to know what to look for and which side they are on.

Great Read!
I read both of Nassar's books and they are both excellent additions to anyone's library on trading. He is clear, direct, firm, and no nonsense. That is what I like about this author the most. He does no selling in the book and only offers information, page after page. I have read many books on trading and most authors have something to sell, Nassar's book makes you search for how to reach his firm,... I think he is world class in his approach and has integrity. His material is simple to understand and the ideas are easy to incorporate into trading yet rewarding. He makes it clear that trading success is about you, not a magic formula that so many portray is possible, which in fact is not. Read Nassar's books if you want it straight. Similar Products
