Customer Reviews

Great book, not just for beginners

I read a lot of trading books and have been trading for quite a while. I am always searching for a better book and new ideas. While this book doesn't have any revelations, it does do a wonderful job of reviewing the basics in an easily digestive manner. The author even has some review questions at the end of each chapter to see if you have a good understanding of the material. I particularly like the way the author discusses her stock picks and tells you what she is looking at and her decision process. It helped me ask some different (and better) questions concerning my stock selection before I entered a trade. There are some intermediate level discussions of indicators but very little on system trading (which I am currently researching). All in all an enjoyable book.

Excellent trading book

I just finished reading Toni's newest book, Short-Term Trading in the New Stock Market. I am happy to report that each chapter has given me helpful advice. I have been trading for five years, and even in the initial chapters, which talk to newer traders, I learned useful points and strategies that I had forgotten, or had not previously known. Toni teaches trading with a fast-paced writing style and a sense of humor that I appreciate. I particularly liked her chapters on ETFs: their origins, the benefits of trading and hedging with these funds, and where to find them. (She provides a list of the most actively traded.) Her discussion on market internals, meaning futures, TICK, TRIN, put/call ratio and VIX were very helpful to my day trading strategies. Unlike other trading authors, Toni keeps her ego out of the picture. And, she adds very useful information between chapters on behavioral concept that help keep your trading mindset clear and constructive. All in all, I enjoyed this book very much and have recommended it to my trading friends.

Great trader resource!

Toni's new book is a great source of information for traders. I particularly like the way she explains charting techniques and indicators, such as moving averages, stochastics, MACD, ADX and Fibonacci retracements. In her typical, to-the-point style, she tells you what the indicator is, how it works, its quirks, and how it helps you trade better. I also learned a lot from her set-ups, actual examples, and her explanations of how each trade progressed. She knows how to explain complicated material in a way that's instructive and enjoyable to read. I highly recommend "Short-Term Trading in the New Stock Market" to anyone interested in trading.

Great lady, great book!

I just met Toni Turner at the Chicago Traders' Expo. She's a fantastic presenter. She's organized, sincere, and knowledgeable. I came home and purchased her new book, "Short Term Trading in the New Stock Market." It's definitely worth the price--and more. Toni writes like she talks, with positive high energy. In the sections on technical analysis, she builds from the basics, such as candlestick technology and moving averages, to more complicated subjects, such as Welles Wilders Directional Indicators, with ease and a reader-friendly style. I found her discussion of volume signals to be comprehensive and practical, and they've already saved me money as risk-management tools. I have been trading full-time for three years. The information I've learned from this book has had a positive impact that's already helped increase my profit line. "Short-Term Trading in the New Stock Market" is a great trading resource. It belongs on every trader's bookshelf.

Short-Term Trading is a great addition to my library.

I have been an active trader for four years and I wish I would have had this book four years ago. This book is full of practical wisdom and insight into what it takes to be a trader in today's market. Toni Turner is a active trader and has gone through the ups and downs and knows what it takes to be a trader. In her book she lays out step by step the actions you need to take to have a sucessful trading career. Trading is hard work and only the hungry and determined make it. It's one of the most rewarding careers you could ever dream to have. But it's hard work and Toni hits at all those points in her book. She also incorporates great "Center Points" at the end of each chapter which are truly insightful. You won't go wrong adding this book to your collection.
