The Compleat [sic] Day Trader

The_Krakenite

I am not a day-trader, but picked this book up at the library just to see what they are preaching in these texts as of late.

This one is written by Jake Bernstein, who has at least two other books I believe.

Someone here probably has gone through it at one time or another. Curious what your thoughts were.

I'm over half-way through, and have to say I'm not converted, but will continue on for interest.
 
There are tonnes of books from all types including Day Traders. I would use it loosely to try and see if it suits you but the only way is to actually day trade and see what you think. Trading books arent nearly enough to decide what style youll trade. Mark Douglas Trading in the Zone is the only one i re read as it is the fundamental of trading beyond a set strategy or style

It is a long time ago. My recollection is that Jake Bernstein's book was excellent. Thanks for the memories.
 
Bernstein written 42 books, He says he is an expert, what he doesn't say is expert at losing.
NFA fined him $200,000 for false advertising and barred him.
Long long ago I read couple of his books and thought they were crap, but "One man's crap is another man's crap."

For books I like John Hill's book from 1970's but hard to come by or
and Bob Volman.

Finished reading it tonight. Cant say there was anything much useful in it (except for me). I also don't believe his methods work. Which is expected, if they did, he wouldn't be selling his secrets away, now would he?

Didn't know about his barring from the NFA. Interesting drama there...
