Big Bang For Your Buck

Audiobook along with the accompanying 180 page PDF helped me learn and apply to Think or Swim as I learned.

Easy to understand. Highly recommend.

outstanding read

John Carter's book Mastering the Trade is a superb compilation of worldly advice and mindset, with regard to trading tactics and philosophy, that presented to me a good grasp of how a successful trader operates and thinks. Kudos to Carter for putting this all down on paper. A most enjoyable read.

I love it

Great book.
If you get over the S of the narrator, it will became one of the best books for an active trader.
Not for a PRO nor a Newbie

Fabulous! Must read for all beginners!

All I’ve to say is that this book, John C., D Shay, Henry, really show that they care to educate and uplift the lives of others. Recently divorced (due to financial infidelity which I didn’t know was an actual thing), I can relate to Shays story, not directly but I get it!
John C! I sleep thinking of the ticks! - not that am obsessed!
To the Fibonacci Queen, your book is a must read, the golden ratios are a must know! D Shay recommended it based on her struggles.

Thank you all for what you do! I believe this will change my financial life after a traumatic divorce and a court system that didn’t protect me when i needed it most!

PDF

I have not finished the book but I noticed many people cannot find the PDF doc so I decided to explain how to get it. On a computer when you go into audible account; then go to library it will be in your library. From there you should be able to download it.

Great book

my 12th or so trading book in the past few months. This one has setups and hits important psychological aspects and overlaps with what I've already been working on as well. The author also recommends some other books that he enjoyed that I plan on listening to next ...

A 20 Hour(almost) trading book?

I wanted the title to read - “A 20 hour trading book, that I completed???”. Not to mention that I am planning to go a second round to start making notes of specific trading setups? This is by far the Most comprehensive trading guide that you would need to start and sustain a trading career. In addition to being that it is so entertaining that you are hooked for hours.

Great but Impossible To Follow!

This subject matter is far too detailed and intense for an audiobook. You need to be sitting at your desk with a pen and paper making notes. No good for listening to in the car or when out for a walk etc.
The content is awesome - I just went old school and brought the book as well. Its way easier to highlight, re read, refer to illustrations etc. Dont bother with the audiobook.
