By now, you've probably heard lots of stories about the thousands of individuals worldwide who, armed with little more than their PCs, are making a killing day trading stocks online. Could electronic day trading be your ticket to financial independence? Here's your chance to find out.
Written by Sunny J. Harris, a successful electronic trader and one of today's most respected trading educators, Electronic Day Trading 101 is a complete step-by-step introduction to online day trading--what it is, how it works, and how to get started in business for yourself--and succeed. Requiring no prior stock market or electronic investing experience, it covers all the basics, from stock market fundamentals and essential trading terminology to sophisticated techniques for evaluating your trading performance. With dozens of illustrations and real-life examples, Harris fills you in on what you need to know about trading hardware and software, selecting an online broker or ECN, opening a trading account, developing a trading system that's right for you, trading from home or from a trading salon, performing fundamental and technical analysis, and researching stocks online. Drawing upon her two decades of experience as head of her own trading firm, Harris provides expert coaching on the all-important business aspects of running a thriving electronic trading practice. She provides invaluable tips on goal setting, maintaining discipline, managing your time, budgeting, good record keeping, and taxes. She also helps you to understand the psychological barriers that often keep people from succeeding as traders, and tells you how to overcome them. Electronic Day Trading 101 is an indispensable springboard for anyone considering taking the leap into online trading. A top trading guru tells you everything you need to know about getting started as an online day trader. "Sunny Harris has created a most comprehensive road map for guiding one into the exciting world of 'Direct Access Electronic Trading.' Very informative, realistic, and helpful. A 'must read'." - Harvey Houtkin, CEO, All-Tech Investment Group Author of Secrets of the SOES Bandit "If you're going to start trading, start here. And, if you don't know a Level 2 screen from a Short List, then don't go further without reading this book. Sunny Harris has put together a great resource that will save you time and work, and added common sense that could only come from a successful, experienced trader." - Perry Kaufman, author of Trading Systems |

This is the WORST BOOK EVER! Sunny Harris should be ashamed of herself - or at least Locked Up!

The book starts with 112 pages of very basic information, information for the totally clueless newbie. If you have more than 3 months of investment experience or if you've read 2 beginner daytrading books or if you've surfed investment sites the last 3 months, you won't learn anything new here. The next 200 pages are references, website addresses, and stuff that belongs in a phone directory. Page 189 to page 313 is a listing of NASDAQ stocks!?!?!? All it shows is the ticker symbol, company name and which sector the company belongs to. NOTHING ELSE!!! I would have rated it zero stars if Amazon.com had such a rating. This book is all bun and no burger, I read my copy at the library (313 pages in half an hour). Leave this PoS on the shelf!!!!!

I couldn't believe that I bought this crap. I didn't learn anything from this book. It has so little content. Most of the book is an appendix listing the stocks on the Nasdaq. This is most likely an attempt to make money from the day trading craze. I bought this because of the last few glowing recommendations but they must have been paid to write it. DON'T BUY THIS BOOK. There are better ones out there that provides better details on day trading.

This book is 350 pages but all of the relevant information could be squeezed into 1/3 that amount. I got 1/3 of the way into reading the book when I realized that the rest of the book is all appendices. Approximately 127 pages of the book are names and the corresponding symbols of Nasdaq listed companies. This might have been helpful before the Internet, but now it is a waste of space. It does give some basic information for the begginer who has no idea about day trading, however if you base the price on relevant information, in my opinion, the price should be under 10 dollars. If you have a little knowledge about day trading, you will not get much more info from reading this book. If you have no knowledge about daytrading, you might want to look around first, in my opinion,you can do allot better.

I am a new investor buying stocks I believe will grow within the next couple years. I enjoy both fundamental and technical analysis (again I am a newbie at this too) but I was interested in doing a little more aggressive trading such as short-term or day-trading.
This book is WORTHLESS. It will only wet your appetite but to pay ... for this is a ripoff. Please DO NOT WASTE your hard earned money on this book. She pads this thing with the listing of EVERY Nasdaq listed stock and loads of other junk. It is insulting. There are less than 100 pages of info that actually tell the reader anything and that didn't even tell me much. This isn't a 101 course or an overview. This is a "class description" found in a college enrollment catalog stretched out over 342 worthless pages. I returned it the next day (read it in about 2 hours) and purchased Toni Turner's "A Beginner's Guide to Day-Trading." I have not read it yet so I cannot recommend it to anyone. If you are going to day-trade, please DO NOT think that one book is going to make you a trader. Trading is not a "get rich click" method. Read all that you can get your hands on and practice your technique. (Review Data Last Updated: 2008-07-07 10:52:40 EST)

It is unfortunate for the rest of us, that Amazon allows uneducated people to review the books they sell. Anyone who has been to college knows what a '101' level course is. Apparently, the previous three reviewers lack the education and/or mental wherewithal to objectively write about someone else's writings. An educated person knows that each author writes with a specific purpose in mind.
That said, let me say a few works about this book. It is an introductory level work which assumes that the reader is starting with a limited knowledge about buying stocks. Yes it does contain a number of appendixes, but the information is useful if you don't already have it, and it is all in one place. There is a list of on-line brokers, sources of information and so on. There is useful information about how to get started in day trading. After you have digested this book, you can move on to others which contain more advanced stratagies. In some ways, you might consider this book as a small encyclopedia of day trading. I liked it.

A 350-page book of which the last 238 pages are appendices, a glossary, and an index. 125 pages of the appendices are nothing but a listing of NASDAQ stocks, symbols, and sectors. Buy IBD instead for $1.00. Including the first 112 pages, you will find much info, but very, very little substance and discussion. It's but a compendium of data. Don't buy this book, if you are seeking knowledge about how to trade.

I thought this would be a referance book on electronic daytrading software and how to apply the information gleaned from it. The main point of the first 100 pages was to tell the different places I might find the information I expected to have been in the book. Then there are over 200 pages of appendices listing the different stock exchanges, a list of compainies on the Nasdaq, etc. This would not have been worth the price if it had been a five dollar paperback.

There were very few helpful hints in this book. There are over one hundred pages of the book devoted to listing NASDAQ stocks! How is that helpful? It seems that someone wanted to pad the thickness of the book. In addition, I was disappointed with the misleading subtitle on the cover that says "day trade like a pro, starting today!" Then she contradicts that (rightly) in the first chapter by saying that she would never recommend beginning to trade after reading only one book. On the the plus side, I think this may be helpful for someone who is a very green beginner.
