A Beginner's Guide to Day Trading Online (2nd edition) Paperback – January 19, 2007

I've read a dozen other books on swing and day trading. I paid hundreds of dollars for a terrific trading course that delivered as promised. This is much better than the course I took, much better than the other books.I've been trading full time for 2 1/2 years, sad to say that I've been losing money. I 'm now showing a more consistent profit, small as it may be. I feel more in control and less emotional. That started happening about a fifth of the way into Toni Turner's book.A great beginner's book but I think it's a great read for intermediate traders too. My other favorite books are Trading in the Zone, Best Loser Wins, Reminiscences of a Stock Operator. As much as I enjoyed and benefited by those books, I would only highly encourage reading Trading in the Zone and this book, and I would recommend starting with this book. A person could read this book and start trading, whereas the other will make you a better trader but won't teach you how to trade.It's not just that the info is good, it's how it's presented. Lots of charts that are easy to read. Her style of teaching gets to the heart of the mindset, actions and expectations of a profitable trader. Each chapter (so far) has a quiz at the end of it. There are inspirational writings, only one page in length, that are very helpful, but a reader can skim past those if they want to get to the more hands on info.If you're brand new to trading, you'll benefit from this book. (There's no need to pay hundreds for a course either, btw.)If you've been trading for some time and struggling, this book might be the answer to ending that struggle.

I am on a personal journey to learn the art of day-trading. I am working through the content of this book and so far I really appreciate the heart that the author put into this book. The author clearly cares about teaching her audience to avoid common mistakes & pitfalls for the novice trader. The tone and writing style is very conversational and while there are a ton of words on each page (smaller print & packed with content), the length and density of text does NOT feel dull or boring. There is a whole lot to learn when becoming a trader and this book is a great start for anyone aspiring to trade as a career or hobby. I would recommend this book to anyone regardless of experience level. I would recommend this book especially if you are interested in learning to trade or invest in the stock market.

The author gives some good information for a beginner, but the cutesy language is over the top. I almost stopped reading it as soon as I started. However, I was glad I finished it. As a man it was hard to read at times, I believe the targeted audience was young women who might like the cutesy way she wrote it.

An excellent book for beginners. A must read. Beware, there is an enormous amount of information in this book. I liked the personal touch of keeping the mind healthy for trading. It will take me time to understand most of this skill. A good read for one who plans to do day trading.

I have been following the stock market for over 30 years and have read well over 100 books on investing (although this was the first on trading). I decided to read this book not because I am thinking about trying day trading, but just out of a great interest in the subject. It may sound strange, but this was the first book I have ever read that went into detail about candle stick charts. I have seen these charts for years, but never really knew how to read them. That alone made this book worth reading to me. The author does a wonderful job of explaining these charts, along with several other tools.If you are thinking about day trading as a profession, or if you are already doing that but want to continue learning new ideas, then this is a great starting point. It is well written in an easy to read style. Also, each chapter ends with quizzes that allow you to test how well you are retaining the information you just read. I loved that and found that I was fairly good at answering those questions.If you are an investor interesting in learning more about the nuts and bolts of the stock market, this is also a good starting point for you, because Ms Turner does a great job of explaining in detail how the stock market works. Just remember, this book was written specifically for short term trading, so while much of the material does apply to long term investments, not all of it will.

Book came today and was dirty (stained) and bent. This was being used as a gift for Father's Day so I'm disapointed.

This is a book review of A Beginner’s Guide to Day Trading Online by author Toni Turner. In short, I really enjoyed this book.Background:I am not a professional trader or investor. Just a person with a regular full-time job who was looking to see if some extra income could be made through shorter-term investments. The only experience I have is with directing my own longer-term investments for my retirement account, primarily through Mutual Funds.Review:I just finished reading through this book once. It is great for novice/newbies to learn about general principles of Day Trading and sound research strategies. All of this is to develop the best trading plan for you, based on your risk tolerance and goals.The book is written in a way that is easy to understand. Having said that, there is so much information passed along, techniques and strategies, that I plan to go through the book a second time with a focus on things I want to zone in on, more position and swing trades. There is a significant amount of analysis presented.In the end, just a great book to learn from. It does not promise an instant, get rich scheme, or a magic trick. Any respectable lesson would not promote those things. Instead, very sound information you can choose from.
