Worth it for Intermediate + Traders Too

This is a well-written book and presented in an organized manner with some nice inspirational material as an added bonus. Is this the only book you need to succeed as a trader? No, but it's got a lot more practical information, in my opinion, than Farly and Sarkovich (in contrast to the person who posted below). Good luck trying to make it through Farley's material in the "Master Swing Trader." I have a library of good trading books and because I couldn't even understand what Farley was saying half the time or I was bored out of my mind, that one did not make it. I suggest that new traders add some reading by Martin Pring, John Murphy, Alexander Elder, Colin Alexander, and Stan Weinstein to supplement the material in this book.

Good start for beginners

Mostly a technical book. Shows you a little more about MACD, Bollinger Bands, OBV etc. The book might be read as a sequel to the previous one (Beginner's guide to day trading online). For many, it is not better than the other one. I think as a compliment for beginners it is a good sequel. It is not expensive so, last time i checked was about $11 in Amazon. In my opinion this is a good start for beginners to delve into basic analysis. Don't expect to find Money management rules, risk tolerance, position sizing or any of those topics covered here.

Again, I think it is good for newbies, and the price you get it for is pretty good.

As the title says... it's for beginners!

If you're new to short term trading then this isn't a bad place to start. Toni's style is clear and honest, presenting the facts and key concepts in an accessible manner. As I said in my other review on Toni's book "a beginners guide to day trading online" definitely get one or the other books, not both as there is a fair amount of repetition between the two.

Read Toni's day trading book!!!

She is an excellent author, that's for sure. I have read this one and also her day trading book. The day trading book is better by a mile, even for those wanting a book on swing-trading or position trading.

Essentially what this book amounts to is the swing-trading chapter in her daytrading book expanded with a whole lot of padding. It doesn't really offer any additional insights in my opinion. I can understand the reason for this book from a marketing perspective, but you are much better off reading her day trading book regardless of your trading time-frame.
