Right away, for laughs, you should know that Chuck Hays has a whole chapter in this book. Who is Mr. Hays...well, he is Bernie Madoff's long lost criminal brother.
Charles "Chuck" E. Hays, the man behind Crossfire Trading LLC, is now in trouble for running a huge Ponzi scheme and using investor money to buy himself goodies...like a $4 million Yacht. lol!!!
This book was written in 2007, no one knew Mr. Hays was a crook. So just ignore Chapt. 4. It is all lies, or read it to get a peak at his arrogance. Boris and Kathy had nothing to do with him but some people in trading forums are making ridiculous accusations. PLEASE!
This book will not teach you HOW TO TRADE anything in the conventional sense. It will give you insight into the emotions, viewpoints and feelings of some big players. From that, you can 'find' yourself and maybe learn a thing or two.
Some of this book made me laugh, some of it made me acknowledge my own mistakes, and the rest I either learned from or just simply enjoyed for the pleasure of reading.
Do not expect this book to point the way toward the holy grail. All you beginner and arrogant traders will never be happy and need to stop expecting to find it. My successes and failures in trading come from hands on experience coupled with the knowledge a WIDE VARIETY OF SOURCES provided to me. I still have not found perfection, the best and brightest out there have not and you will not either. You will simply learn how to correct your mistakes and get better.
This book is merely a fun, wisdom filled read. Don't expect a course in trading. Just look at it as if you are sitting at the table of some well seasoned traders that are openly discussing trading. There is no lesson plan, there is not set path. But the guy who shuts up and listens will learn from the conversation.
