IMO a great starting point for the basics... I've read better books since but I doubt I would have grasped what they were saying without having read this first.

Thanks

I read it a few months ago. I'm just starting out and I found it helped me focus on being disciplined whilst reinforcing my determination to trade.

I read it a few months back and it's definitely worth a read. However, I have two major criticisms -
1) He ignores taxation which is one area that I would have liked some attention in - SB is CGT free, but do you have to pay income tax? He disregarded one of spreadbetting's biggest attractions.
2) The book is very much geared towards the medium/longer term trader - he mentions Day Trading in passing. Given this is my prefered trading stance, I was disappointed.
Also, a lot of the spread betting mechanics he describes can be easily picked up from any spreadbetting company's website.
