Customer Reviews

An eye-opener

Futures are complex! This book makes it easy to understand some of the tricks of the trade in futures. I highly recommend this book to all futures and forex traders.

Chock Full of Useful Info!

I bought this book as a refresher to the comodities market, after a decade chasing profits in the slower NASDAQ market. Mr. Angell presents not only the basic info necessary to understand the commodities market, but also more presents his LSS daytrading system (which I won't use). Each and every chapter ends with a list of the points one should take from that particular chapter. My book has 15 pages bookmarked where information important to me is stored. One can find more in-depth books on technical analysis, options, and other topics in this book. But, Mr. Angell gives the reader an excellent base upon which to build a comprehensive trading education. From types of orders, technical analysis, psychology, options and even a trading system, Mr. Angell succeeds in introducing the novice trader into the world of futures/commodities trading. I read one of Mr. Angell's other books on "Sure-thing Options Trading", early in my trading education, and I still use the info. I can say the same of this book, after only a year. This book is certainly worth the price.

Insight Galore!

George Angell constantly produces hits when it comes to futures investing. From his proprietary LSS system to his down to earth attitude he has my complete professional courtesy.His book opens the eyes of the average investor and let's it be known that futures are not one dimensional. You have multiple strategies and tools at your disposal to help you succeed. One of those tools is hedging. ... This is a must have book for the novice futures trader.

a must have book

This is the one book that any novice must have. This book not only explains how to get started but how to increase your chances of winning in the futures market. Chapter include an excellent day trading method, Gann methods for picking market tops and bottoms, and overall excellent market winning advice. All of this at a reasonable price. This book is the best futures book for those starting out as well as advanced traders. The information in this book is all substance. The book however, does not make for easy reading. It is difficult in some parts, and requires rereading. This is due to the tremendous concentration of information. The book is also reasonable in telling the reader that one must work hard to master the information it contains. It is not unrealistic in the sense that one simply reads the book and one is an automatic wizard at trading. One must work hard at studying the book and working at the information to become a master trader. If one doesnt want to work he is better off in not reading the book, because the book wont work, if you dont work. A great book. A market classic.

A good background source for all traders

When I first read this book, I was very disappointed because I was expecting something more as a beginning trader, maybe a direct path to holy grail million dollar success. For the reasonable price of this book, Mr. Angell does an above average job of covering most of the important starting-point basics of trading, including discussion of a few trading systems.
