A Complete Guide to the Futures Market: Technical Analysis, Trading Systems, Fundamental Analysis, Options, Spreads, and Trading Principles

This is actually a long time book. As usual, when I got not enough stocks on books to read, I tend to reread some of the books that helped me in the past. Well, this book acts as a beginner guide when I started my career. The fact is, every trader starts somewhere somehow with books from Jack D. Schwager. We all love the series of "Market Wizards" by the said author. So, here I am with one of his "classic" book with the hope that it can helps to refresh my memory and help me further in the future.

First of all, this is a revised version. It was released last year with some changes. Overall, the book is revised and updated. However, the materials are weirdly updated too, LOL. Frankly, this is a lousy book to flip through. The paper is so thin and it sticks with pages. To make things worse, my blurry vision (well, I am getting old, no doubts) did not helps as the wording are obviously too small. As a result, I tried to read it under the light. Yet, the reflection was there all the time making my reading worse. I do not understand the intention of using such materials. This is supposed to be one of the greatest books in the past. Now, the materials are causing all sorts of problems.

Back to the book... well, unfortunately this book failed to inspire me this time around. After more than 15 years in this industry, this book sounds too simple to me. This is a beginner book for those who want to explore in the futures market. I lost the wow effect that I had when I first touched the first edition of this book. Having said that, I am going to rate this book at 4/10. Well, this is an excellent book overall. But, I think I improved over the years (which is not a bad thing, LOL) and this book no more serving its purpose on me. Last but not least, for those who are keen, please avoid the printing version. Go ahead with the digital version, so that you can enjoy this classic book.
