Customer Reviews

Nice insight from real traders

Wow! this book has some bad reviews. I am really surprised, perhaps some of the reviewers really expected to be handed a real trading system for 29.95. The book jacket definitely over-promises based on what is inside, but there is still tremendous value in here. If you look past the blatant attempts by some of the interviewees to market their services and take the nuggets where you find them then you will have not wasted your time.I know several of the traders interviewed in the book. They have reputations that span the spectrum. But the really outstanding interviews were of the traders that you don't find interviewed in other texts. The nameless Phantom, CV, the Committee and Mark Brown interviews come to mind. They are worth the price of the book. The pit stops are also useful, but in some cases are found in other texts

Great Trading Strategies

Like my fellow Californian I have read "Trading Chicago Style" by Neal Weintraub. I agree that it seems as if it is for trading system vendors to sell their product. However, if one reads carefully there are trading systems revealed that are currenty in use that work! The C.V. chapter lists one. "Market Wizards" does not list any specific trading systems. Also, the interview with Sid Kaz tells how the floor trades and what they look for from the off-floor traders. Learning this can save the reader many times the price of the book. There are valuable gems in this book that are well worth the effort to go and purchase it.
