Short-Term Trading in the New Stock Market

great!!!!!!!!!!

Master Trader, Toni Turner has written an important book. Especially useful for novice traders just starting out on their trading journey, Turner’s book covers the basics (and good habits) needed for practical trading decisions. Not strictly a technical analysis book, she writes in a clear conversational style that makes learning that much more attainable.

I just met Toni Turner at the Chicago Traders’ Expo. She’s a fantastic presenter. She’s organized, sincere, and knowledgeable.

I came home and purchased her new book, “Short Term Trading in the New Stock Market.” It’s definitely worth the price–and more.

Toni writes like she talks, with positive high energy. In the sections on technical analysis, she builds from the basics, such as candlestick technology and moving averages, to more complicated subjects, such as Welles Wilders Directional Indicators, with ease and a reader-friendly style. I found her discussion of volume signals to be comprehensive and practical, and they’ve already saved me money as risk-management tools.

I have been trading full-time for three years. The information I’ve learned from this book has had a positive impact that’s already helped increase my profit line.

“Short-Term Trading in the New Stock Market” is a great trading resource. It belongs on every trader’s bookshelf.

Toni’s new book is a great source of information for traders. I particularly like the way she explains charting techniques and indicators, such as moving averages, stochastics, MACD, ADX and Fibonacci retracements. In her typical, to-the-point style, she tells you what the indicator is, how it works, its quirks, and how it helps you trade better.

I also learned a lot from her set-ups, actual examples, and her explanations of how each trade progressed. She knows how to explain complicated material in a way that’s instructive and enjoyable to read. I highly recommend “Short-Term Trading in the New Stock Market” to anyone interested in trading.

Toni Turner has written an overall informative and fairly comprehensive guide to investing in the stock market. If you have read a lot of other investment books, you won’t find a lot of new material in this book. But, as with most books on trading, there are almost always a couple of little gems hidden in the pages that justify the expense.

This book is certainly a good ‘primer’ for anyone just getting into investing or who wishes to get past just sticking money in their 401K account. It is a good next book past “Investing for Idiots,” and a good prerequisite before tackling a book like John Murphy’s “Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets.”

For those more interested in simple, long-term investing, I would recommend a book like Leslie Masonson’s “All ABout Market Timing.”

I just finished reading Toni’s newest book, Short-Term Trading in the New Stock Market. I am happy to report that each chapter has given me helpful advice. I have been trading for five years, and even in the initial chapters, which talk to newer traders, I learned useful points and strategies that I had forgotten, or had not previously known.

Toni teaches trading with a fast-paced writing style and a sense of humor that I appreciate. I particularly liked her chapters on ETFs: their origins, the benefits of trading and hedging with these funds, and where to find them. (She provides a list of the most actively traded.) Her discussion on market internals, meaning futures, TICK, TRIN, put/call ratio and VIX were very helpful to my day trading strategies.

Unlike other trading authors, Toni keeps her ego out of the picture. And, she adds very useful information between chapters on behavioral concept that help keep your trading mindset clear and constructive. All in all, I enjoyed this book very much and have recommended it to my trading friends.

This was an awesome book, and I highly recommend it to any trader, new or seasoned.

I really like the simple way she writes! Very understandable and detailed! Book was like new.

There is nothing new under the sun.

This is a great book for learning stock trading. Toni is easy to understand. Toni is great teacher person.

OK as a first or second trading book.It’s good to get the basics from more than one source until things start to click.
But if you have already read a couple of trading books, I would pass on this one.

If you are just starting to explore the possibilities of trading, I highly recommend reading this book. It will give a foundation for deciding what and where you need to look next.

I found this to be a really good text for a person contemplating the “trader game”. It is a fairly easy read for someone not all that versed in the fundamentals of trading, but that has an interest in perhaps pursuing the endeavor.

Must traders with some experience would surely find the content slightly rudimentary, I think. But for someone starting out it is just enough – not so elementary to be simple, but not so technical as to be overwhelming. Having read the entire text, I will be re-reading most of it again; this time with a highlighter and notebook.

Toni’s writing style is a little too cutesy at times and the included Center Points at each chapter ending are a little to bromidic, but the core of the text is insightful and educational.

As for the content of the book, Toni Turner has to be one of the most entertaining writers on this topic. She has a great sense of humor. More importantly, she distills concepts so that they can be grasped by the most novice of traders. In particular, I did appreciate her breaking it down into steps. It did help tremendously in organizing my thoughts. The template she provided for writing your particular trading plan is a real gift.

Trend trading is not for the meek. Clearly, big mistakes can be devastating to your portfolio. The author repeatedly emphasizes the importance of capital preservation and the tactics one must employ to minimize risk and mitigate the effect of those trades that go against you.

I have bought other books on trend trading, but found her books among the most readable and educational. Definitely worth the time.
