Larry Williams is one heck of an interesting trader to read. This is a book written by a guy who actually traded and made big bucks doing so. This is not one of those books written by brokers or MBA's who've never made a living off of trading.Several minuses worth noting. 1) This book was written in 2001, so the whole section on brokers and research must be considerably out of date by now. 2) Williams outright cuts and pastes out of "Long Term Secrets to Short Term Trading". The difference between this book and "Long Term Secrets" is that this book features a day trading strategy, and it also features info on futures brokerages/research, which is a problem since the book is out of date in that area. "Long Term Secrets" has more material on technical analysis, though it is not written in the most comprehensible manner. 3) In "Long Term Secrets", Williams comes out directly against day trading, while this book obviously has a slightly different point of view. Still, if you want to find scalping strategies you're going to be disappointed - Williams primarily focuses on daily charts. 4) This is not a book for people who have no idea what trading is. You should at the very least have a 1-2-3 understanding of the basic concepts, otherwise you can get a bit lost. 5) Williams' style is somewhat informal, so that may take a bit of focus and re-reading at times to get a few things right. Its not an academic style book.That said, Williams' greatest strength is that he puts across the correct attitude of a speculator. You really get a sense of a guy who's been out there and is now sharing you his war experience. This is where the book really shines. In particular, the chapter on money management (also featured in "Long Term Secrets") is a real gem.
