Good read, all the info you need but a little boring at times. But hey not the most exciting subject matter in the world!

Malcolm Pryor's handbook would work well for those who know absolutely nothing about spread betting and technical analysis, and want a primer on the basics. It's short and simple enough to finish in a single sitting. However, many points are presented 'as is', with no explanation of the background or reasoning behind them. "This is a useful indicator." Yes Malcolm, but why? Why would I choose to use it over another indicator? Can it be used in conjunction with other indicators, and what would that combination mean?

I get the feeling that this book is simply an expanded set of Powerpoint slides from a training course; and that the author has found a strategy which works for him, but is not able to compare and crontrast that with other potential strategies. The information provided is therefore a very shallow skim across the surface of what is, admittedly, a complex field of knowledge.

Overall it's fine as a very first primer, but anyone who is serious about learning spread betting and technical analysis will grow out of this book very very quickly, as I did.

An excellent book, admittedly for those familiar with the principles of spread betting. Different from so many other books, and an invaluable read, with much common sense and sober advice. Worth every penny.

If you are looking for an introduction book like I was then this is ideal. It is very well written and easy to read, also acting as a good reference to go back to during your initial trading. Once you understand the basics you can then find a wealth of information on the internet on more specific questions which the book raises, such as chart indicators, statistical analysis and so on.

Not really for people new to spread betting, but even so you can get so much information from this book. It looks a little daunting but it is a complicated topic and the author obviously loves what he does and he has the pedigree. He doesn't beat around the bush and the advice is gold, this book WILL save you money, heartache and worry IF you follow his advice! If you are a beginner then my advice would be to open a practice account WHILE you read this book. If you are already trading then close your positions, read this book and rewrite your strategies and start again.
