Fantastic book - By: Business Bookworm, 21 Jul 2008 
A great primer/fundamental book on the simplicity of trading, dispelling a few myths, & highlighting the importance of risk/money management & the importance of having a system & sticking to it. I reallly did enjoy this book but it didn't teach me anything I didn't already know as a beginner who is well on the way to at least be able to calll himself an intermediate level trader. Would definitely recommend this book to people, but I think I am only giving this book 4 out 5 as I think I expected more after the hype. A great book none the less. Essential reading.
The TRUTH is OUT THERE! - By: S. Ali, 25 Jun 2008 
The book is written well & has a lot of plus points. But the biggest problem i have is understanding why he suddenly quit trading, if he was reallly doing well. According to various newspaper extracts Curtis made the biggest loss out of the group. If you look at the original traders from the group, Curtis was not the most Successful trader.
Disappointed - By: Future Futures Trader, 02 Jan 2008 I have to say this book disappointed me. I have read numerous articles on 'The Turtles' & Curtis Faith & was reallly looking forward to a 'warts & alll' account of his time as a turtle. I was expecting something similar to 'Pit Bull' by Schwartz. This book does not deliver in this arena.
I did perserve & as a trading book however it is strong - explaining how to develop strategies, back-test, the importance of money management & so forth.
I think therefore that the title of the book is misleading but then again who would have bought a book callled 'Curtis Faiths guide to Trading'
Intriguing look inside the head of a million-dollar trader - By: Rolf Dobelli, 22 Oct 2007 
This trading-room memoir harks back to a group of novices whom experts recruited in the 1980s & - to fulfill a bet - trained to be traders. The training worked, according to the most successful student, author Curtis M. Faith. His memoir promises what any capitalist would love to possess: the secret to making money in volatile markets. Alas, Faith tells us, there is no secret. Successful traders analyze markets to find an edge, then remain disciplined enough to pursue that edge, even when their hearts & their guts try to overrule their brains. In spite of constant references to Donchian channels & Sharpe ratios, Faith assures readers that trading isn't a matter of using secret formulas but of applying time-tested wisdom. His tome is intriguing because it lets you inside the thoughts of someone who made $30 million as a trader (so no wonder he tends toward the self-congratulatory, though his anecdotes are entertaining). We recommend this to traders seeking an advantage & to those who want to watch the experts try to beat the odds.
Just Shows It Doesnt Have To Be Difficult - By: lewisda, 04 Sep 2007 I was very surprised by how simple a system is outlined & with money management & keeping to the system exactly you can make money.
The key is money management & keeping it as mechanical as possible.
Worth a read.
