Electronic Day
Traders’ Secrets
This book
features what it calls, “exclusive and entertaining” interviews
with several experienced day traders who talk about how they
started trading and who share tips and strategies for becoming a
successful electronic day trader. It’s a pretty good book, for my
money, because it’s long on the important fundamental rules of
successful trading and skimpy on those boring charts and graphs
that are surfeit in many trading volumes.
