Rating: - A Must Have for All Traders
This book is a must for day traders. Carter's set-ups for buys and sells are amazing. Since reading and studing his methods I have almost doubled my daily revenue and looking at 6 figures this year.

If you only read one book (and I have read many) this simple to understand and well documented text will serve you for the rest of your career in the market.

Rating: - Required in my opinion but the setups themselves don't seem great
I read John Carter's book "Mastering the Trade" from cover to cover. There is a tremendous amount of detail in his book. And plenty of it is very useful or even necessary to know if you want to trade full time in my opinion. As a matter of fact, I think after reading a bunch of books on trading, that one book singled out some weaknesses I had in my trading I was finally able to identify. I believe the book gives you a good frame of mind with which to look at the markets. However, I tried to quickly find some of the trade setups described in his book and found at least from a rapid, superficial look, that his trade setups don`t seem to be that promising. But, the book gave me a good idea how some technical indicators work. His ideas combined with ideas from Oliver Velez, Alan Farley, Josh Lukeman and Dave Landry (to name a few) make a powerful combination.

Rating: - Read with caution
I found the pivot method works, gap play works sometimes, but the so called 3:52 method never works for me. I doubt some methods in the book still work in 2008.
