Rating: - A complete overview of nothing but citation to other books
I have recently read two other books on day trading and they were much better, so I think the only reason others gave this such a great rating is becaue they have never read anything else.

Rating: - Fuzzy Math
Although there is much informative basic material in this book, I cannot stand the fuzzy math this author uses. The percentage gains he reports in some of his examples are blatantly deceptive.

However, there is no mention of the actual money necessary to make the trades shown, which is probably somewhere around $30,000 (minimum). This would ... Read More

In one single book of only 200 pages, Jake tried to discuss many important elements of day trading, including history, mechanism, player characteristics, market structure and even sophisticated ... Read More

Jake give us this book in the hope that his efforts, research, suggestions, systems, and methods will ... Read More
