The best advice in this world is: stay away from Stocks and Commodities. There has been more people who have lost all their
money, their homes and business, their marriages, friends, and
murders committed in the name of trading the stocks and commodities. Joe Ross is a great writer and Trading by the Book
is very good. Nevertheless....you'll still be blown out of the box if you try it. Believe me. This is the cheapest advice you'll ever get.

My second book by Joe. Incredible and powerful stuff!

Trading techniques on futures trading that really work and will make money if you follow the simple rules on it. Pattern recognition at it's best will blow you away on things that you already had thought about but never tried before... a strange feeling indeed. It improved immensely my trading style with strategies that will work on any time frame. They will work also on trading stocks, so don't feel discouraged if you're not ready yet to go into the futures market and you think that the trading style is different. It's not that different, just the money management techniques... and they are also covered here, ok?

Read and re-read. On my trading desk all the time!

(Hide Review...)  Learning How to Manage Your Futures Trading Business.
Reviewer Permalink
I have every book Joe Ross has written on futures trading. In fact, Joe taught me how to trade via his courses. That's what his books are, courses, and less than a 3 hour course at a jr. college.

For any trader not even covering his overhead, (how many traders even know what his real overhead is?) Joe offers the management elements required before teaching you how to trade. He knows that if you learn how to read a price chart without understanding money and risk management, your days are numbered. Instead of throwing money at the market, take a couple days worth of slippage and buy his books. You do know what slippage is, right?

If you study what he offers after all of his years of experience, and it will take re-reads to sink in, you can succeed in this business.

Lastly, try all of his books. It's an investment that will reap returns you cannot imagine. The costs are cheap compared to what you can (and many of Joe's followers/students have) earn in this difficult business.

This is an awesome book. I have just read the first 10% of the book and already I think this is the best bargain at on the market. He has rules and methods that work! I have some friends that are great traders and his methods are similar to theirs. This is it! He gives complete systems. So many books may give a good entry and then leave it up to you moved by greed or fear into a bad exit. Joe tells what to do in every possible condition so when it happens, you are ready. Save money on seminars, books, software and just buy this book.

(Hide Review...)  Most traders can benefit greatly from reading this book
Reviewer Permalink
I read this book quite a while ago but I still remember it's lessons quite well. Joe Ross emphasizes money managment and discipline more than anything else; entries are important but what you do after the trade is perhaps more so.Ross has a very unique style, one which most readers should appreciate. He gives very specific examples of winners and losers, he also analyzes the trades he took for the purpose of writing the book. If I could only read one book on the subject of commodities trading, this one would probably be it. I have read many books and courses, more than 99% of the people out there, I have spent more money on materials than most people put in their trading accounts, so I know what I am talking about. This is an expensive book, but well worth the price.
