John Carter :Mastering the Trade, Second Edition:

I saw the first edition and was not impressed. I too wonder if the second one is better, but the first one left we rather perplexed.

Does this guy actually trade for a living? Is there any evidence he is profitable?

Any thoughts?
 
The first edition of this book was probably the last book on trading I ever bought. It wasn't because it was a great book but because I realized that reading books wasn't improving my trading.

I simply needed to practice and learn more self discipline.
 
I actually like the first book. Among many things, it introduced me to Tai-Pan series.

His health section was quite interesting as well.

Several indicators he described, gave me some insights on areas of additional research.
 
I participated as a gold member in his trading room and attended some of his highly expensive workshops ($500.00 each) and indicators. Some of the workshops were OK, and yes he trades for living. I was not impressed though by his knowledge especially on options trading while it is his main bread and butter; Don't read me wrong: he knows option but not at a professional level. Nor on his follow up with his premisses, e.g. finding elephant trades after an expensive workshop on that subject. I am no longer participating in his trading room.

The one thing I can give him for granted is the monthly big picture outlook, which is great.
