Many more informative books out there - By: , 11 Jul 1999 
Jack Schwager's books on the wizards offered more insight into trading successfully than this feeble attempt. Even Joe Krutsinger's book provided more information. The author's messy editing job only creates more confusion & chaos for the reader. More thought & preparation should have gone into this book. It could have been informative.
A very valuable resource for all traders. - By: , 05 Jul 1999 
This book offers valuable information on a variety of critical subjects for both the beginning trader & traders with extensive experience. As an edited book, it assembles the ideas of many authors & presents the information within an overarching framework of four sections: (1) Basic Trading Skills & Methods, (2) Testing & Evaluation, (3) Assessing the Market & Yourself, & (4) Advanced Indicators & Forecasting. As with any edited book containing chapters from various authors, each with unique knowledge, perspectives, & writing style, the chapters are somewhat heterogeneous. While the reading would have been smoother if one author had written about all the subjects covered, the collective expertise offered by the various authors is far more important. Mark Jurik has made a significant contribution to the field of computerized trading by editing this very valuable resource book & making the collective experiences & wisdom of many experts availablein one book.
Like going to a conference. - By: , 29 Jun 1999 
Overall, this book is good. So there are some missing graphs. So there are some misprints. So there is discontinuity because of the different writing styles of the different contributors. So what? Reading this book is like going to a conference & hearning a lot of different speakers. Like any conference, not all the speakers are good... This book is packed with a lot of information & anyone with an open mind can learn a lot from it.
Excellent for new and experienced trader alike - By: , 15 Jun 1999 An excellent book for the new trader-- as well as fundamental reviews of technical analysis for the more experienced. Jurik's contributors deal with everything from technical analysis to timing entry & exit points-- to managing funds for trading-- & the psycology of trading from a very personal standpoint... a must have for the traders' bookshelf
After reading this book I admit it was a waste of time... - By: , 11 May 1999 It was a waste of time... No learning took place!
