(Hide Review...)  Good Futures Book
Reviewer Permalink
Be prepared to get into the nitty gritty of futures trading with this book, I bought it because I was slightly interested and got a little more than I expected, however was still a fascinating read, and not too technical.

(Hide Review...)  Not the essence of clarity.
Reviewer Permalink
The author makes the following comment: "....literature on hedging in futures marets is not the essence of clarity." I hope he was including himself. If you don't have a pretty good foundation in Futures you don't need to start w/ this book. I don't know why writers can't start with the basics and work up to the complex nuances. I was very disapointed.

(Hide Review...)  A textbook for beginners
Reviewer Permalink
This book is an essential a textbook for college students. It provides all the basic materials about the futures market. But I feel it doesn't cover too much about the problems of real world trading. After trading for sometimes, I know that there are many tricks using by the professional traders. They are really important. They can give you edges over other traders. But they are seldom covered in college textbooks. So you still need to read other books or learn from other people before you put the money into this risky game.

(Hide Review...)  No kidding

If you are going to trades futures, read this book, make a few trades, then read this book again. It is a cold, hard look at the reality of trading. While just about every other book on futures trading assumes you are a gullible idiot, this one exposes the difficulty of the pursuit. Its depth and breadth are incomparable.

(Hide Review...)  A great futures primer.
Reviewer Permalink
This book provides an excellent overview of futures trading. It also deals with options and spreads. Anyone who can completely digest the contents of this entire book may be able to gain a slight edge over other novice, unsophisticated traders. This book is also reccomended by the great Victor Niederhoffer, in his book "Education of a Speculator".
