See Note 1, above  

Note 2. I wrote Chapter 4 of this book so I have a natural affinity for the book. This books looks at trading from an adversarial point of view. Tread lightly into this new business... it says for 383 pages. I believe it is the longest book on trading I know. Many of my trading colleagues input to Les's fine creation. My chapter tells you how to get educated at some length. Getting educated and trained in the business takes time and I believe their should be a formal college curriculum available for traders. At this writing, the 4th of July, 2001, there is no formal way to get trained. There are about 25-50 basic courses and very few intermediate courses. At this juncture in my trading career, I know of no course, class, seminar, or workshop I would label "advanced trading." If I knew, I'd take it!

Note 3. My first trading instructor and his friend, William, wrote this very good book but I have not had a chance to read it. The book was published couple years after I took Fernando's course... but I need to take time. I know by intuition, based on his teaching style, that it is a good book. Strategies for the Electronic Day Trader capitalizes on the success of The Electronic Day Trader by Friedfertig and West and How to Get Started in Electronic Day Trading by Nassar. This book is strategically positioned as a more advanced electronic day trading book, at a higher level than both The Electronic Day Trader and How to Get Started in Electronic Day Trading. Strategies for the Electronic Day Trader teaches the reader the techniques and strategies needed to effectively trade in this exciting, fast-paced arena. The reader will learn how to electronically day trade the stock market safely and profitably.

5. Stock Trading Wizard by Tony Oz

Note 1. What do you read first. I am always torn when asked this question. It is a toss up of #1 and #2. Tony Oz is my friend and I have attended his class. He tells no lies and you should hang on every word he writes. He may not agree with me but I believe his first book is more valuable to a beginning trader. I have never met David Nassar but I know his former colleague, Scott McVicker, who is an excellent teacher. David's book (#2) is the best trading book I ever read from cover to cover and I read it the summer of 1999 after trading for about 9 months... before I believed I knew what I was doing. I found it to be better than books I had read up to that point. It covers what you need to know. It is my personal opinion that you should read both #1 and #2 before you put one of your hard earned dollars at risk.

See Note 1

This is an absolute must for any trader's library! You can't trade without knowing technical analysis and this book on candlestick charting is second to none.

Note 5. I have found this book more recently to contain a bunch of additional information missing in earlier published books. You may want to note that Harvey Houtkin, recognized as the father of DayTrading, probably wrote the first book on daytrading in January 1998. Since January 1998 there have been 50-100 books written on various facets of trading stocks.

This "Tools and Tactics" book is excellent for the seasoned trader. Read 3rd or 4th. Remember this topic of trading doesn't come to you over night... not in 90 days... maybe not in 900 days. It requires seat time to learn this stuff!

Note 6. Sun Tsu wrote the book, The Art of War, a few hundred years ago and I suspect, although I have not yet read it, that this book has been helpful to a lot of master traders. The book is required reading in every military war college in the world. Jea Yu has done an incredible job... Yu’s insights are awesome - and his aggressive trading arsenal includes...

- Trading "Basket Stocks" for consistent daily profits. Yu explains what "baskets" are -- and how they give you a tremendous edge over other traders

- Tools he uses to determine the trend, find precise entry points and his preferred method for placing orders in Level II trading
