Has anyone purchased John Carter's updated edition of his book: Mastering the Trade, Second Edition: Proven Techniques for Profiting from Intraday and Swing Trading Setups? http://www.amazon.com/dp/0071775145...E&&ref-refURL=http://www.tradethemarkets.com/ I learned much from the first edition and am wondering if there is enough new in the 2nd to warrant buying. $40 at amazon.com
Read pages 1-49 of this book here: http://books.google.com/books?id=p5...q=Mastering the Trade, Second Edition&f=false
I saw the first edition and was not impressed. I too wonder if the second one is better, but the first one left we rather perplexed. Does this guy actually trade for a living? Is there any evidence he is profitable? Any thoughts?
The first edition of this book was probably the last book on trading I ever bought. It wasn't because it was a great book but because I realized that reading books wasn't improving my trading. I simply needed to practice and learn more self discipline.
I'd pay for author's trading record than his book. only if he's able to show he'd eat his own cooking; show me the walk;
I actually like the first book. Among many things, it introduced me to Tai-Pan series. His health section was quite interesting as well. Several indicators he described, gave me some insights on areas of additional research.
I participated as a gold member in his trading room and attended some of his highly expensive workshops ($500.00 each) and indicators. Some of the workshops were OK, and yes he trades for living. I was not impressed though by his knowledge especially on options trading while it is his main bread and butter; Don't read me wrong: he knows option but not at a professional level. Nor on his follow up with his premisses, e.g. finding elephant trades after an expensive workshop on that subject. I am no longer participating in his trading room. The one thing I can give him for granted is the monthly big picture outlook, which is great.
