NO BETTER INTRO TO ELECTRONIC TRADING...PERIOD!!!!
I chuckle when I read critical reviews of this book. I have worked alongside Mr. Houtkin for a long period of time and have seen him turn many very unfullfilled people into content successful traders and improve their quality of life immensely. Other books have been written by wannabe traders or academics but there is nothing like the real thing. Most of the critical comments apparently come from losers who are trying to transfer their failure or at least rationalize it by blaming the daytrading concept. The hundreds of successful traders at the many All-Tech offices around the country and the numerous traders operating out of their own homes and offices is living proof that the theories and techniques expoused by Mr. Houtkin are right on the money. Don't be disuaded by envious losers who were cheap and took shortcuts or listened to fast talking promoters. Houtkin is the real deal and so is his book. If you hope to succeed in trading...there is no alternative.

Pure RUBBISH
i have been trading on the SOES for roughly 5 years. this guy should be in jail, first of all, and anyone in the industry knows it. second of all, who writes a book if he's making so much money? a wall street altruist? the info in this book is laughable and outdated. buy 5000 at the market when a market maker isn't looking and post 1/2 point higher? if you talk to the original, ORIGINAL daytek guys from the staten island basement, yeah, that happened, but save your 14 bucks and rent a couple "Wall Street" and "Duece Bigalow." how many ways can i spell "garbage"?

library check out
I'm glad I checked this book out from the public library and not purchased it. Purchasing it would have been a terrible trade/investment. The only expense I incurred was the waste of time trying to read it. It is just plain boring. Shame on you McGraw-Hill for publishing it. Similar Products
