A Beginner’s Guide to Short-Term Trading introduces stock trading over a horizon of days to weeks. Turner builds the process from market basics and trading preparation through chart analysis, trade selection, order placement, and review.
The book explains trends, support and resistance, candlesticks, volume, moving averages, and several common indicators. It then brings these tools together in buy setups, short-selling strategies, and a worked trade. Chapters on stops, risk/reward, and orders address the decisions required after a setup is identified.
Turner also treats trading as a planned activity. She discusses business goals, emotional habits, changing market conditions, losses, and the use of a trading journal. Quizzes and “Center Point” sections accompany the instructional chapters.

The headline says it best. The book was published around 2008 (before the Great Recession hit), so there are a few dated references, but in general I feel like the advice holds up well today (in 2020). I have a lot of unfinished books, but I made it through this one cover to cover.

This book explained me so much in terms of support and resistance levels, basic candle patterns, basic indicators. It really made me start to think like a trader. Written in a fun, uplifting way that motivates you and makes you feel like you can do it. It’s amazing how Toni Turner manages to explain technical material in a non-boring yet meticulous way.
A separate thank you for her little side chapters about how Universe works and how to think and behave to succeed in life. Having read some books on this before, I think that Toni Turner can easily write a separate book on this as I’ve found some of her explanations even more clear than in books of well-known Universe-related self-help authors like Deepak Chopra, Jean Houston and others.
Truly multifaceted talent. And you can see how her goal is to help and give back rather than to try to look smarter than others.
