Only average	Customer Rating:
I was hoping that the book would identify some useful methodology for trading that could be used on the sporting exchanges. There are a few interesting ideas, but it does not deliver as a manual along the 'how to' lines. Perhaps I had an incorrect expectation - but if you want to identify usable mechanics to help your trading look elsewhere.

Fantastic book

Customer Rating:

A great primer/fundamental book on the simplicity of trading, dispelling a few myths, and highlighting the importance of risk/money management and the importance of having a system and sticking to it. I really did enjoy this book but it didn't teach me anything I didn't already know as a beginner who is well on the way to at least be able to call himself an intermediate level trader. Would definitely recommend this book to people, but I think I am only giving this book 4 out 5 as I think I expected more after the hype. A great book none the less. Essential reading.

The TRUTH is OUT THERE!	Customer Rating:
The book is written well and has a lot of plus points. But the biggest problem i have is understanding why he suddenly quit trading, if he was really doing well. According to various newspaper extracts Curtis made the biggest loss out of the group. If you look at the original traders from the group, Curtis was not the most Successful trader.

Disappointed

Customer Rating:

I have to say this book disappointed me. I have read numerous articles on 'The Turtles' and Curtis Faith and was really looking forward to a 'warts and all' account of his time as a turtle. I was expecting something similar to 'Pit Bull' by Schwartz. This book does not deliver in this arena. I did perserve and as a trading book however it is strong - explaining how to develop strategies, back-test, the importance of money management and so forth. I think therefore that the title of the book is misleading but then again who would have bought a book called 'Curtis Faiths guide to Trading'

Intriguing look inside the head of a million-dollar trader

Customer Rating:

This trading-room memoir harks back to a group of novices whom experts recruited in the 1980s and - to fulfill a bet - trained to be traders. The training worked, according to the most successful student, author Curtis M. Faith. His memoir promises what any capitalist would love to possess: the secret to making money in volatile markets. Alas, Faith tells us, there is no secret. Successful traders analyze markets to find an edge, then remain disciplined enough to pursue that edge, even when their hearts and their guts try to overrule their brains. In spite of constant references to Donchian channels and Sharpe ratios, Faith assures readers that trading isn't a matter of using secret formulas but of applying time-tested wisdom. His tome is intriguing because it lets you inside the thoughts of someone who made $30 million as a trader (so no wonder he tends toward the self-congratulatory, though his anecdotes are entertaining). We recommend this to traders seeking an advantage and to those who want to watch the experts try to beat the odds.
