Strategies for the Electronic Futures Trader

I found this book extremely helpful in making the transition from position trading to day trading. The book's focus is expressed in the title. Day Trading. Light on theory, anecdotal diversions, and the popular interview approach, this book is heavy on practical, simple, robust and effective strategies that work. Simple straight-forward rules for each strategy are included, which eliminates the guesswork of implementation. And as a trained clinical psychologist with over 30 years trading experience, Mr. Bernstein is uniquely qualified to address the all important aspect of trader psychology. A must read, in the genre of Joe Ross, for the serious student & intermediate trader. A relevant, succinct yet comprehensive book on day trading. For the beginning day trader, buy & read this book first. Doing so will save time & money.

Jake Bernstein's, Strategies For The Electronic Futures Trader, is an outstanding description of 9 proven trading systems. Each system is explained in depth and in easy to understand terms. Most importantly, Jake provides the results of these proven systems. The timeliest chapter in the entire book is the chapter on how to capitalize on market volatility. Could it be any timelier? If your considering trading futures or you trade now, this book belongs in your library and the strategies should be programmed on your computer.

After trading the commodity markets for 9 years it was once again an enlighting experience to both review solid discipline trading rules along with new and more importantly, proven trading strategies from Mr. Bernstein. He finds a way to combine the information in his books to be valuable to both a novice or a veteran trader.
