Praise for Playing for Keeps in Stocks & Futures

"Wise traders seeking to improve their trading knowledge and skills are well advised to learn from the accumulated experience and knowledge of those who have already paid their dues, such as Tom Bierovic. Bierovic is an accomplished trader and an excellent teacher, and he provides indispensable and valuable information in his new book, which every serious trader should acquire and study. I heartily recommend it."
–Edward D. Dobson, President, Traders Press, Inc.

"In Tom’s extraordinary no-nonsense way, he has presented so much more value than almost any reader will ever appreciate. Not only has he provided three solid approaches, he includes an insight into the strategic thinking found in many of the best traders!"
–Glen Ring, President, Glen Ring Enterprises
Analyst and publisher of View on Futures newsletter and Daily Update

"For traders wondering what to do with all those technical indicators that are part of their charting software packages, Tom Bierovic offers three trading systems that use combinations of their inputs to generate specific buy and sell signals. Moreover, Bierovic offers enough variations and trading concepts so that enterprising readers should have no trouble devising their own trading systems based on this compact, but idea-filled, text."
–Jack Schwager, Author of Market Wizards and The New Market Wizards

"A carefully crafted book and well thought-out selection of some of the best techniques. The analytical tools are that much more valuable because the author has employed them in his own trading program and refined them to reflect a good technical analysis foundation on which to build and succeed."
–Timothy Slater, Former Managing Director of Dow Jones Seminars, Computrac Technical Analysis Software Corporation

Ignorable - Dimitri Shvorob - London, UK
Yellowed paper, charts from the 1980s, reference to a top-of-the-line workstation with a 330 MB hard drive.. The book came out in 1993. It offers fixed-income and derivatives-lite math and market details available in any other book with 'fixed income' in its title, and has, I think, about 20 pages of more original content, including a 5-page discussion of common FI strategies. Is that worth ? You decide.

This is completely unacceptable. A heads up for everyone else out there....If you would like to get screwed over then go ahead, otherwise half.com is a better website

Great book, a little expensive - Campegius Bronkhorst - Tucson, AZ USA
I thought this book was a great read. It is well written, logical, and methodical. It is a great book for an advanced beginner, or an intermediate trader (like me) who is reading a wide variety of trading books. I liked the messages from the book: think, define problems, find solutions, test, test, and test. I learned some new things that I have not read anywhere else, but the book also goes over subjects already well covered in other books. The book specifies that it targets the futures market, but most material in the book applies to the stock market (which I participate in) as well.

This is a fine book to read, especially if you can buy it used (it is well made with an excellent binding) or find it in a library or at a friend's house. Which brings me to the price: it's a bit steep, the book is not that long, which is why I gave it four stars.
