This book is a must have in any traders arsenal. It is insightful and logically progresses step by step through each chapter. This approach builds on the knowledge you have gained and advances it incrementally thus never making the book feel like a heavy text book.

Toni Turner talks from the perspective of a winning trader who has had a long successful career. She shares her wins and losses and most importantly the knowledge she gained through each. From a basic history of the stock market to setting up, technical and fundamental analysis the book delivers a well rounded introduction to short term trading.

I personally gained more from this book than any other I have read and still refer to it now and again. The information in each chapter is well laid out and expressed articulately. Examples are well illustrated and relevant to the chapter.

Short selling is discussed along with winning strategies whilst not avoiding the obvious pitfalls of trading. Whilst not a one stop shop for everything it is a must for anyone starting out. It avoids the moral boosting talks and discusses the topics at hand in a mature unbiased tone. All in all one of my favourite books to date.
