Before you get those training wheels . . .
If you know absolutely nothing about trading, this is a good place to start. However, don't expect to make any money without a great deal more work. Ms. Harris does a pretty good job of listing the things that need to be done before starting to trade, but doesn't treat any single topic in sufficient detail to really cover it. That said, this is still a pretty good book, as long is it is viewed as a study guide, and not the real text.

A Good Introduction to Trading
I have found this book somewhat simplistic and out of date. However, as a book written for the newcomers I think the author has covered the subject matter quite well and especially in pointing out the importance of extensive education required, a good trading system and money management skills. No illusion had been created in misleading the reader to think that making money in the market is quick and easy(as many other authors have done). This is very important.As the author has stated: "You will learn about the existence of of concepts, but will not learn the concepts in depth. You will, however, learn where to look for information on each of these concepts, so that you may explore in-depth and develop your knowledge base further..."
It does NOT show you the nitty gritty details of "How to Trade Like a Pro". Like the cover: suitable for an intro book on the matter!

Covers nothing
Even if you no idea of what the financial markets are about DO NOT BUY this book. It introduces various things, but covers nothing in depth. The only positive aspect (for me) of this book is that the author discusses trading software and systems, but even this, like every thing else, is just a pointer to where one can find more information. If you want to learn about the market in general look somewhere else. If you want to learn about fundamental analysis vs. technical analysis, specific trading methods, or anything other than what a dope on the street could tell you do not buy this book.
