Customer Reviews:
Very useful guide to day trading
This book is not for beginners. Readers are expected to be familiar with basic technical indicators, chart reading, common tradeable assets, etc. This book caters to those who have already attempted day trading or swing trading in the past but have been unable to put in the time and effort to take it to the next level.
The main part of the book deals with the author's various trading setups, where he provides the rational for why they work, step by step guides (including limit and stop tactics, entry points, preferable conditions etc) and caveats. He gives detailed examples based on real trades with charts for each setup.
He also provides guidance on how to manage risk, formalise trading rules to ensure discipline, in effect a business plan for traders.
The author writes with confidence. He sounds very experienced and his writing shows. He has a high opinion of his own talents, which may grate a little. He has no sympathy for fools and undisciplined traders. However, his unforgiving style is in line with one in his profession. After all, trading is an unforgiving profession.
I have definitely benefited from this book. I have implemented individual setups outlined in the book, with positive results in the first 3 days of trading. More time will be needed before one can be certain that the setups work. Also, I have not combined different setups, which should improve performance even further.
Worth Reading 
The author, John Carter, is an experienced trader and this comes across immediately with his style of writing and examples. This book is really aimed at the day trader where the author goes through numerous techniques in fine detail. In fact, his attention to details before placing a trade is mind boggling. As I am not a day trader I found myself skipping chapters. However, the book still contains enough nuggets of information for the end of day swing trader to learn from.
I don't know what to say! 
Any one you are, beginner or pro. Just buy the book, if you are a beginner you would learn sooooooooo much, if you are pro, you will have a good laugh.
Just imagine if all teachers knew how to teach like the author, we all would be professors, and rich!
Must Have Book For Ay Serious Trader
Have to say that it is a must have book for any serious trader. Marcel Link writes with simplicity and clarity and conveys much information needed to be successful in trading. The book covers technical analysis, money management (my favorite topic) and trading with a plan. It is this book's ability to cover complicated topics in a conversational way (not overly technical) that brings home the concepts needed to be profitable consistently.
Love his passage about Charles Dickens's "David Copperfield" excerpt where Link writes that Dickens "...is saying, Make more than you spend (lose) and you will do fine, but if you spend (lose) more than you make, you are ruined...". Very true - simple on the surface - but an essential lesson to getting profitable in trading or any life endeavor. The Dickens analogy is an example of how Link is able to draw you away from the traditional "trading" jargon long enough to think on another mental plane so that you can come back to your trading with new understanding.
Stop whatever you are doing and just get this book
This is a book focusing basically on day-trading. I found this book while looking for a review of another one and I have been convinced to investigate it by reading other reviews. As I have been disappointed too many times already with treading books, I went on first and downloaded a pdf copy of it from the net. I read a few chapters and verified the validity of Mr. Carter teaching by observing the patterns he was describing on my trading station. After two days I bought the book because the author really deserved to be remunerated for his work. The book provides you with a detailed description on how to set up a trading workstation (if you need it) and about 10 to 15 practical and concrete day trading strategies, complete with strategy description, step by step description of entry and exit points and general risk management in relation to the use of the strategy being described and a description of who gets burned and why (to take advantage of their psychology).
I found the insight of this book invaluable, it made me a trader where I mostly used to be ( now I know) a smart (but still a) pray. It also thought be what market trade (YM, ES , NQ or DIA and SPY instead of stocks) and why. The one thing I would have preferred is to have a cd with the book in pdf version as I put lots of notes on the book when I study so I prefer to study on a chapter I reprint and later going back to an immaculate original book when I just search for a reference.
I am a happy customer, trust me you will be too.
