As you probably know, daytrading can be a very good way to
earn a lot of money and also LOSE a lot of money. This book
is pretty good because it gives warnings both of those
categories. I recommend this book because after reading it
you will clearly know whether you are cut out to be a daytrader.
Very basic information, but very necessary information.

I bought this book hoping it would give at least a basic introduction to day trading. The book accomplished that. Loque goes over the basic needs of being a day trader. Emotional, financial and even office setups. She emphasizes that being a day trader is a business and one has to treat it as such. Not something that you do in your spare time from work or family responsibilities. The only thing I noticed is that she emphasizes having a good trading plan. I think she should have offer more examples of a trading plan and strategies. But she does offer at the end a lot of other resources to check out. If you are absolutely new to day trading this is a good book to start from.

I have a Mensa IQ – have traded equities for 15 years and found this book to be complex and difficult to read. It presumes a lot of things that puts this well outside the title ” For Dummies. ” “Daytrading for Intermediate to Advanced Traders” would be more honest.
If you are looking for simple understanding of the day trading concept, look elsewhere. If you want an advanced text, this is probably a minimally fair choice.

This book is good for a person who is new to day trading. It provides an excellent start as an overview. Once you are more familiar with day trading, you will need more in-depth and advanced book.

Should have been “Stock trading for dummies”. Absolutely worthless book, if you are looking for specific day trading information. Full of regurgitated information about technical analysis and stock glossary, etc. Try `The Market Maker’s Edge’ by Josh Lukeman. . .
