The Art of Electronic Futures Trading
This book covers the beginning of electronic trading in the futures industry from the perspective of the authors who first introduced electronic trading to the futures industry. It covers the fears that sweep the futures industry as electronics threatens to close the traditional oupen outcry meathod of trading futures. The interviews with the original developers of the software really puts in persective how far we have come in the past few years. The book also helps you rate your personality and help you decide what system might be right for your psychological profile. With that in mind it is then time to design a system that is right for me. I found the book very informative and made me feel at ease knowing that the system I designed for myself even though not guaranteed to make money, will make me feel comfortable about trading it.

The Art of Electronic Futures Trading
This book starts out with the history of CME and progresses evenly into the future of electronic trading. Speaks in layman terms, concise and flows smoothly for the non-professional trader. The question and answer section was extremely helpful and interesting. A necessary handbook for anyone looking to become an effective screen trader.

Very little trading information...
I was disappointed in this book, as it contains very little information that is applicable to trading strategies. The only information in this category is very general and would be found in virtually any trading book. Primarily, this book seems to be one big advertisement for the futures industry. A large section of the book is devoted to the history of online trading and the companies who shaped it as well as interviews with principals of these firms.If you are a new trader, you may find something useful here. If, however, you are a seasoned trader, there is virtually nothing in this book that you will find helpful.
