Customer Reviews

Excellent Book

The book is not a tech how to book but in all fairness the auther doesn't claim it as one. This book is more of an autobiography and in that category it is a 5. The auther brags about himself at times but anyone who is that successful has a right too. Excellent read well worth the time!

Overcoming Adversity in Trading Through Strength and Courage

When I first picked up the book, I thought it was a promotional piece for a trader turned fund manager. I was wrong. I realized this was from a real trader, not an expert. Having lost much money from following technical experts' advice, I've learned only to read the masters. Those who want a technical book, don't look here. But know that if you want to win and win big, you may want to read this. I also learned that you don't have to nit-pik every psychological thought to arrive at masterful trading, as the psychologists of trading would have you believe.I was totally hooked into the story of his life's joys and sorrows. I couldn't put it down--I read it in one sitting. Some books have interviewed the best traders with similar conclusions from their experiences, but rarely do they provide the insight into their minds. Traders lives parallel. The book captured many of my own experiences. This was a heroic story describing overcoming in one of the world's most difficult occupations. I used to wonder what made a Jesse Livermore tick? What in his trading career made him commit suicide? (I assure you, it was not a trading rule he broke.) This is a rare book because it's an authentic, open-hearted, unabashed, no-holds-back account into the soul of one of the best pit traders in all time and his trial by fire, of a reality more dramatic than any fiction story. The Dalai Lama says that we have traveled so far into the stars, to other planets, to the moon, but we have not looked inwardly. We have not traveled into our hearts, into the domain of mind. When one considers the intense nature of trading emotions including pain and suffering, illusion and confusion, greed and fear, ego and humility, shame and anger, this journey, whether you travel or not, is the journey of all traders, captured par excellence in this book. It's a story about an Italian American turning prejuidice into riches, about a soul turning defeat into victory. If you're new to the game, this is what it takes.

Superb

Tells it like it is. No equations, no waffle, no hot air. Anyway, if I ever meet Lewis, I'll bust his *ss - so I guess I must have learnt something.

You Can Do It!

As a trader myself, The Day Trader gave me the inspiration that day-trading the market successfully can be done. It's not a technical book. It's about determination, ambition, not quitting, and enjoying success.

Great story from a great trader!

The Day Trader is the best book I've ever read on trading, and one of the best books I've read in a long time. I laughed. I cried. And I learned a lot about the markets. Borsellino is a great trader and he tells a great story.
