I think he should put out a second edition, but I doubt he will. He doesn't seem to trade now quite the same way he describes in the book. Also, the book could have done with a little more proofreading as there are some gaps in the narrative.

And now he is trading grains and he doesn't really mention those in the book. I'll bet in a second edition he'd devote a whole chapter to them.

Thank for you for the resources cooter.

Oops. Sorry, cooter.

That's awesome, cooter!

Actually, just reviewed it and though I appreciate their effort and information and I picked up a few interesting tidbits, there wasn't much there I haven't been able to gather from other Carter resources. In a sense that's reassuring because JC's approach to day trading the ags is so simple. But that's even better if it works. So thanks for the heads up. But I'm glad I didn't pay for it. I couldn't believe all the morons in the background chatting it up while Hubert was talking about tape reading.

Essential. It is somehow surprising that in 2005 one can still write a book on trading that stands tall among all the earlier trading literature. It probably has something to do with J.Carter's passion in sharing his view on trading, that makes his lecture uniquely powerful.

The book is over-rated.
It may be a good book but definitely not great .
The book contains an assortment of different techniques which
may wet the appetite of an uninitiate. but each chapter lacks depth.
The book essentially becomes a "jack of all trade and master of none"
variety in my opinion.

Its definitely a good starter book for trading futures and Forex. When I picked up the book, I really didn't know what a futures contract was. I studied the strategies, but most of them were not for me as far as my main strategies go. I've used "box plays", but usually within another strategy of my own. The book also introduced me to Market Profile, which has been a huge addition to my trading career. That led me to Mind Over Markets and somehow I found this site when researching Market Profile.

Carter's book is a great book for a novice, but its only a starting point.
