A Sample Chapter From The Book
What Customers Are Saying About The Book
I'm looking forward to learning more from Pristine in the months to come. After purchasing and reading through
your book, it is evident that you and your organization truly understand what it takes to be successful in the trading business. I was so impressed that I've decided to open an account with Mastertrader.com
Mr. Modesto Lugo is currently processing my new account and I must let it be known that he has serviced my inquiries with excellence.
Thank you again,
Ernest P.
Over
the past four months I purchased and read over
15 very good books on investing, including "Tools & Tactics
for the Master Day Trader".
Thank God I found that book. The other books were
very informative. I learned a lot from them. But
"Tools & Tactics" was exceptional.

Last
week I finished my first read-through of Tools and
Tactics For The Master Day Trader, upgraded from
Pristine Lite to Pristine Silver, and watched and
rewatched the micro trading, swing trading, and
intra-day trading videotapes. In 2 days I made enough
to pay for the book, tapes, and 3 months of Silver...

I
have been trading for awhile, but not that successfully,
but I found the book at Barnes and Noble around
Jan 1, read it. No consummed it. Starting using
the ideas and made a great deal of money every day
since. So I am a believer.
Denton D.
One
of the best daytrading educational sites on the
Internet. Of the two dozen books on trading that
I have read to date the "Tools and Tactics of the
Master Daytrader" is by far the best and most well
rounded book on the subject (even with all the typos
). I use it as my trading bible and it has shortened
my learning curve considerably, saving me thousands
of dollars in mistakes that I was able to avoid. I hope to be able to come to one of their
seminars some day. Until then. Keep up the great
work.
Thanks, Michael O.
Just
a note to thank you for your recommendation regarding
"Tools and Tactics for the Master Day Trader".
Of the 7 day trading books that I have read to date,
it is by far the most valuable, and easy reading
as well. I also purchased the tape
on Swing Trading which was valuable as well, although
the charts etc. that were displayed were not readable.
Even so, it was still excellent.
Your
advice to pick a direction and stick with it was
also well taken. The variety of services that
are offered by Pristine seem to meet most, if
not all, of my needs.
I
am planning on attending the December weekend
in Miami.
Thanks
again for your help.

I wanted to write and tell you that reading "Tools
and Tactics for the Master Day Trader" may
be the BEST thing I have done for my trading since
attending one of Adrienne's seminars last April!!!
I
am a seasoned trader of 3 years, making my way
much as you did as revealed in your book. I have
developed my own methodology and trading system
based on models that I created for trading the
S&P. I use the E-mini and the SPY. I am still
struggling as a breakeven trader, though this
year I am slightly ahead YTD. It has given me
great comfort to know that it took a master such
as yourself 6 years!!! Knowing that has taken
an enormous amount of pressure off of me(which
I apply directly to
myself) I have been mistakenly lead to believe
there are all these daytraders that jump in and
make six figures after the first 3
months.(bull vs brain confusion) I was starting
to feel as though I was failing because I am still
breaking even.
Unfortunately
my first year as a trader was marked by a 50%
gain, I was imprinted by a raging bull market
in the small caps and thought I was SMART. Of
course you know what happened next. I actually
lost 30,000 in a matter of 5 days. I started over
and have worked myself to the bone, loving every
minute of it too.
I
am passionate about trading. Now after reading
your book, I have released myself from the pressure
to "get it" in 2 years. In fact, though
I keep a trading log, I never thought to create
a "journal of losers" What a fantastic
idea, and I am going to the book store right now
to get a set of 2 journals, one for the winners
and one for the losers.
Thanks
for sharing so much great insight. I am getting
my traders
insight, day by day.!!!
Sincerely,
Ms. Shawn T.
PS I am a swing trader and I LOVED the Bandwagon
analogy!!!!! Made
absolute sense to me.
Gentlemen,
I
realize how busy you both are, and I don't want
to be guilty of taking much of your time, however,
I could not let another day go by without writing.
Your
new book, "Tools and Tactics For The Master
Trader" is one of the best things I have
ever purchased in my trading career. It is the
most incredible text of all times. The things
that you cover in this book touch on so many problems
facing traders today. I am guilty of each item
that you outlined. I have spent the last two days
looking around my office for the microphone that
you must have hidden in here in order to be able
to describe me in such detail in your book. The
time and detail that you have included is a direct
reflection of the dedication that you have in
helping others succeed.
In
my case, I will never be able to properly 'Thank
You' for the guidence and education that you have
provided to me. I have implemented many of the
stragedies that you have outlined and now I will
be working on the hesitation to pull the trigger
problems that I face each day. You have helped
me understand where those problems are and how
to work on them.
My
hat is off to you guys, and I wish you well in
everything that you and your company does.
With
all my graditude,
Joe
F, Las Vegas
I'm now reading your book and it's the best one
I have come across. It has really helped me to fine
tune my trading. Exactly what I was looking for!
Thanks!
Debi
I
have learned so much from your book I feel I should
send you more money!! (Just kidding) My boss has
started using incremental sells and trailing stops
to exit positions and has added at least $2000
to his profits for the week.
Thanks
again for your book. It is worth the price of
a college education.

Congratulations on your great book! It's definitely
"the best" book available on daytrading I've ever
read. I can relate to evey point you made. It's
precise and very useful and a lot of depth knowledge.
You get a lot out of this book. I found the intra-day
reversal timeframes most useful at this moment for
me personally to trade.
- Reiko T, Japan
I have reread the first part of your book this weekend
and have to tell you that I think it is the best
I have read on the subject of the psychology of
trading, the mental disciples necessary for success,
as it were. You leave The Disciplined Trader, Trading
to Win and the others in the dust. Your strong point,
of course is your speaking to this complex issue
in simple, everyday language that is so organized
and well thought out that it is not only meaningful,
but powerful. This section cannot help but become
the standard on the subject in the industry. You
are to be congratulated!
Many years ago, there was a series of touted books
called Writing Simply,Speaking Simply and Thinking
Simply. I could actually hear your voices talking
to me as I read that section--and you have incorporated
the whole enchilada of the writing simply and thinking
simply concepts. The power and simplicity of your
writing made me very proud of both of you. I can't
wait to get my autographed copy. I'll mark up the
one I have (It already looks like a war zone), but
I'll treasure your autographed copy.
- Harriet F, Florida
I was in your seminar last week in white plains,
I find your seminar so useful. Also I read your
book and I find it so complete and the best book
I ever read on day trading. I admire your knowledge
and info.
- David D.
I
loved your book so much I bought 3 extra copies
for the other people in our trading company. My
boss is going through it and is very intrigued by
it. He has been trading for about a year using Realtick
III and is interested in attending your next seminar.
Mike R.
I
signed up for a year of "The Pristine Day Trader"
today because I now believe, after using the service
for 6 weeks, that I will still be trading in a year.
I'm reading Tools & Tactics of Master Day Trader.
All this for the first time really has provided
me with a sense of self control that was missing
before finding Pristine. Anyway, just a few words
of gratitude to all of you at Pristine for the good
work you do.
Aloha,

I
was out of country for a couple of weeks. My wife
and I went on a two weeks cruise to Spain and
Portugal. On the day of our departure I received
your book and packed it in my carry-on. Needless
to say my wife could not peel me away from your
book, and what a wonderful time I had! No phone,
no CNBC, no interruptions. Master Day Trader was
talking to me. The land of Servantes, Gaudy and
El Greco as a backdrop and your Book as a centerpiece!
Thank
you so much for the priceless tool and for the
great writing!

I
would especially like to thank Pristine for
the effort they put into their book "Tools and Tactics
for the Master Day Trader". It is a FABULOUS book....I
have learned soooo much from it. The BEST of the
five books I have read on the subject!
Kieth G.
I've read a few chapters and its like listening
to the seminar, but even better. Actually when I
read your saying "You like to hear the cash
register ring" it was about 11:30 this morning
and it galvanized me into closing all my morning
daytrades (i.e. EXFO, ABSC, ANEN, etc).. and fanned
the embers of my short positions (FDRY, ELNT, EMC
and PWAV). I reported to the thread what I was doing.
Nasdaq was still positive, now its down 77. I have
to finish reading the 'words of wisdom' before tomorrow's
trading. Just when I thought there was not much
more to learn.....
Contratulations, both of you for a great piece of
work!

A
Japanese proverb says, “If you wish to know
the road, inquire of those who have traveled it.”
The authors of
Tools and Tactics
for the Master Trader clearly know the road.
Their unique insights, trading tactics and powerful
tools, so enjoyably presented, make this a book
that belongs on every trader’s shelf.

Bought
the tools and tactics book... great knowledge about
both trading and life in general-i recommend it
to anyone serious about trading the right way.
David S, New York
Love your site, received and read your book over
the 4th. Probably the best I've read, ranks with
O'Neils stuff. Been doing this (swing and day
trading) for about 13 years, learned a lot the
hard, bloody and expensive way and is really great
to get some reaffirmation on some of my hard lessons
and conclusions thru the book and to learn new
things. Especially good to get hammered over and
over and over to "DROP the losers.".
Charles L., Homer, Alaska
I have just finished reading your book.
Congratulations on one of the best day/swing trading
books out there. Thanks and best regards.

Tools and Tactics for The Master Day Trader
is in a different class than many of the stock trading
books I've read -- the intrinsic high quality of
the underlying material simply shines through. I
like the values espoused in this book -- it speaks
to my 8 years of short-term trading experience and
resonates as "the truth". That's unusual, as far
as reading trading books goes!
Steve B., Palo Alto CA -- Private equity trader

Your book is a wonder - the allegories,
the philosophic incorporations and of course your
trading method is all brilliant. I have read with
great entertainment and appreciation to crowds the
'wagon story' !!!
- David P., Greenville, SC
I recently took a one-week vacation with my
wife and two kids and had the opportunity to read
this book that I so anxiously had been anticipating
and wanting to sink my teeth into. I'll tell you...
it was worth the wait! The writing is unique,
funny, and at times very philosophical. It really
makes you think. Think like a real professional
that is. When do I kill a trade, when are my odds
best to enter a trade, what is the herd doing,
when is it best to just sit and wait, when is
the best and most precise time to strike with
confidence and why! I found it enlightening to
be able to look into the minds of two traders
and how they go about their trading lives. Thinking
right and having the proper mindset are so important
and this book really seemed to hit that home for
me.
What's great about this book is that every reader
will walk away with something different. Some
will find the charting techniques, the cash management
skills, the level II interpretation, amongst other
subjects to be the most meaningful and eye opening.
For me it was the psychology and the revelation
that you cannot eliminate loss, but rather that
the art lies in how you manage it. As a successful
Pristine Student I have learned to pinpoint key
turning points with great accuracy, and as a result
I experience very few losing trades. I had almost
eliminated loss. I recognize now that this is
a dangerous mindset to be in. One that almost
guarantees failure because losses are inevitable.
Due in part to such a mindset I have found myself
at times holding on to a losing trade a little
too long simply because I did not want to ruin
my long streak of winning trades. This is just
outright silly. This book has helped me come to
the realization that in trading as in life, losses
and mistake will happen and cannot be avoided.
This lesson alone will help me take my trading
to a brand new level. I will read this section
of the book over and over again until it becomes
an innate part of my being.
These are just some of the items that left an
impression on me. I hope they help you as well.
All in all the book was excellent. I found it
to be the most comprehensive book on the subject
on the market. It offers something for everybody.
From the novice to the self proclaimed trading
expert. It is sure to become the Active Traders
book of choice for many years to come. Kudos to
the Pristine Crew for a job well done.

I
awaited the release of "Tools
and Tactics for the Master Day Trader"
with much anticipation.
I was not disappointed. In fact, I was amazed
at the clarity of their approach to explaining
successful trading.
Of
particular merit is the 90-minute VHS offering
"Swing
Trading" The videotape
does a masterful job of explaining the most basic
of swing trading tactics, using trendlines with
candlestick charts which is the core of system, as well as our own.
From
the moment I opened the book and perused the table
of contents, I knew I had finally found the book
that I could recommend to others without fear.
I have read dozens of books on day trading and
investing. Honestly, I have put nearly each and
every one of them down in disgust or disappointment.
Most are long on generalizations and pathetically
thin on strategies, tactics, and mind set. You
will not find that in "Tools
and Tactics for the Master Day Trader."
The
table of contents alone is worthy of note. The
book is divided into three parts which logically
progress from creating the proper attitude and
discipline to tools and tactics to putting it
all together in today's electronic trading world.
Each chapter is subdivided into topics which are
conveniently listed with page numbers in the front
of the book. No digging through an index for keywords
to find a subject you wanted to go back and review.
This book truly qualifies as a manual.
"Tools
and Tactics for the Master Day Trader"
makes for good, easy reading. It is obvious the
authors followed their own advice given throughout
the book. Keep it simple. In fact, I chuckled
a bit when I read that one test of a clear trading
system is for it to be readily understandable
by any intelligent 12 year old. I could not agree
more. This book does just that. It is by no means
watered down, but it is clear and easy to understand.
Frequent uses of similes and metaphors to relate
the inner workings of the market to real life
make this a good basic educational work on the
mass psychology of trading.
But
it does not stop there. A great portion of the
book is dedicated to improving the reader's psychological
approach to the market, and when I'm asked to
point out why most traders fail, this is the primary
cause of disaster. In Chapter 5, "The Seven
Deadly Sins of Trading: How to Combat Them and
Defeat Them," I saw an eerie reflection of
my first year of trading. I committed every single
one of them. I still have to fight the urge to
"sin" in my trading. If each trader
could read this chapter and simply apply the wisdom
presented, really apply it, the price of the book
would be made up within the first day of trading
following its application, many times over. They have it right. They say 85 percent of
trading is discipline and approach. I say it's
90 percent. I'm not going to argue five points.
No matter what the percentage, you cannot and
will not win until you conquer your toughest enemy,
yourself.
As
for the trading tactics presented, you will find
yourself comfortably at home with their main approach
of using the basics of trendlines, resistance,
and support along with the Japanese candlesticks'
revelation of the market's psychology behind stock
moves. Each strategy is spelled out in clear,
concise language with excellent examples which
are as durable as these most basic of trading
indicators. There's nothing really fancy about
it. It is simple and sound trading at its best.
One can apply the strategies from 1 minute charts
to daily charts. Each step of the trade setup
is spelled out clearly. The temptation will be,
as I have said so many times, to try to improve
on the strategy. It's too simple. It has to be
too simple. How can anything so simple make money
in such a complex place as today's electronic
markets? Keep it simple, my friends.
In
summary, even grizzled veterans of $50,000 losing
streaks who have come back to amass small personal
fortunes will find this book of great benefit.
For those of you who have not endured the high
cost of tuition the market can exact in exchange
for making you a more savvy trader, this book
may serve to reduce that tuition considerably.
"Tools and Tactics for the Master Day Trader" cannot make you a better trader; you will have to do that for yourself. But in applying the wisdom found on nearly every page, you could find yourself at least a year ahead of the pack. Would you spend 40 bucks to gain at least a year's worth of knowledge?
I wish this book had been available to me when first started trading. I saw my first trade go down in a $4500 ball of flames and carnage. I sat back in shock and nearly lost it emotionally. How could this have happened?
If this book had been out then, I would have at least known why.
