Although I have position traded for six years, I only recently began day trading. This was an excellent book that appropriately emphasizes the discipline and persistence required for success.

Jake sets you straight on what to do if you wish to: 1. Fail…big time like the vast majority of others.
2. Win…with the select few and think like the pros.

I feel that Day Tader II is really a rip-off as it basically just reguritates most of the material found in volume one. THIS is typical Bernstein — the goal is dollars from book sales, not educating the reader. Mr. Bernstein does not respect his readers, and this is the sad part because he obviously is a highly intelligent man who probably could contribute a lot to the field of daytrading education if he weren’t so needy and greedy. I wouldn’t go so far as to call him “Jake the Snake”, but I do think he should put more care into the content of his books.

Many succinct sections that collectively spotlight the “big picture” of day trading. While futures day trading is the primary topic, valuable informtaion is conveyed that is applicable to the futures position trader, and to a lesser (but non-zero) degree, the stock trader. Without a doubt, an EXCELLENT BOOK!
Dash Barnes (verified owner) –
I’ve traded stocks for many years without much success. Thanks to this book, I’m now trading the futures markets with success and confidence.
He gives you several systems with step by step instructions and suggests several markets to examine for possible opportunities.
There is no hype here. He tells you up front that it’s not easy and it takes a lot of work.
His explicit explanation of stops, risk and money management are a must read for survival tactics during the losing streaks.
Don’t trade the futures markets without this book.
Liliana Cohen (verified owner) –
This book is more on the aspect of futures trading than stocks. If you do futures trading it is a good book. But if you want a book about trading stocks don’t buy. The title is misleading. The charts are good but it does not use stocks to explain his concepts. For stock buyers I do not recommend.

After reading Jake Bernstein’s earlier work, How The Futures Markets Work, I decided to delve deeper into the futures day trading world. This book, The Complete Day Trader II, covers all the, disciplines, psychologies, emotions, and fears potentially affecting the futures day trader. The part I liked the most about the book was Jake’s in depth analysis of basic indicators and strategies important to the futures trader. The book also provides an outstanding section describing the different types of orders and when to use them. Because of Jake’s background in psychology, the book is loaded with advice on how to control fear and greed. I give this book my highest recommendation.
