A Beginner's Guide to Day Trading Online 2nd Edition

In the last 3 years tons of books have been written on stock day trading. A few are great, some are just okay and the rest border on useless. To me, the measure of a book is in the author's ability to communicate to me quality trading strategies in a way that I can understand and implement them in my own trading. I believe Toni Turner's book accomplishes this very effectively.I've been day trading equities full-time for a number of years. If I were a newcomer to the markets today, this book would be at the top of the list of recommendations to myself...(I hope that makes sense).I think the book would be most helpful to beginners and folks who have already been trading for up to a year. The text is heavily grounded in technical analysis and includes many chart examples. Great stuff!

Thinking I could transfer my 20+ years of quite successful investing experience to a more active trading style, I started online trading about 8 months ago. Reading this book was like reading my own journal of the past 8 months's painful experience! Reading this book before I started may not have prevented me from making those mistakes, but it most likely would have helped me recognize them once made and stopped me from repeating them over and over, piling up ever more losses! Just as she describes, the good news is you do turn a corner to profitable trades once you learn some very basic but important lessons. This book can shorten that time for beginners. Her section on Boot Camp is very good. Her system has rank beginners learning and up and running in 2 weeks what took me about 3-4 months to discover from everyone who would teach me. There's also more than enough technical strategies presented which traders from beginners to more experienced ones can apply and use daily.Her light humorous style makes this easier to read than most trading books without detracting from the serious message. If my sister or a good friend wanted to start trading, this would be the book I'd give them to read first.

I received Toni Turner's book last week and have just finished my first reading. Toni has accomplished a great reader friendly introducation to day trading stocks online. I have traded commodity futures for twenty years and am just getting my feet wet with ONLINE stock trading.I earned my M.B.A. and have been a successful investor in stocks for over 20 years. Toni Turner's book gave me a wealth of hard earned information in a format easy to read and understand. The subtle nuances that make a big difference in money earned or lost was handled with good examples, charts and analogies for everyone to understand.One of the outstanding characteristics of Miss Turner's book is the manner in which she makes the difficult task of technical analysis understandable to those who have little or no experience investing. It does not bore you like so many technical books, and therefore, keeps you reading instead of laying it aside.As noted in her book, the differences between time frames in the risk and reward equation of day trading are explained compared to longer term investment instruments. Seems to me the action of imparting understanding is accomplished quite well. I applaud this new book as a welcome addition to any library.

This is an outstanding introductory book for new traders. It starts with an overall picture of the markets, then teaches trading psychology, fundamental chart-reading, and Level II tactics. Traders who day trade (hold stocks for minutes to hours), swing trade (hold stocks days-to-weeks), and those who want to trade their IRA accounts long term, will learn how to make money in the stock market. Best of all, the book is written in a style that everyone can comprehend. Another reviewer mentioned that it is beneficial for authors to have actual trading knowledge -- I totally agree! Toni Turner was one of Pristine.com's first students, and I have personally traded with Toni for over one year. She is not only extremely knowledgeable about the financial markets, but can consistently pull profits from the markets daily on all types of trades! As the title suggests, it is an awesome book to give interested traders a jump start into this exploding trading revolution. Then the traders can add to their ongoing education with many other excellent advanced books.
