This book in my opinion doesn't do much other than to explain, you can trade after hours if you choose a broker that allows you access to the ECN's which operate longer hours then the normal market times. They fill the rest of the book with explanations of charting, and other technical analysis, and there are many other books that do that much better. I found nothing on techniques of trading after hours, which this book implies will make easy.

I would sell this book used, but my ethics prevent me from hoisting this on you.

Don't let the title fool you.Nov 08, 2000

After-Hours Trading Made Easy goes way beyond after-hours trading. It is not just a after-hours trading manual but a true stock market primer.

Chapter 10 alone is worth the price of the book. It includes Duarte's Super Seven Market Forecaster, a proprietary buy/sell indicator. If the surest way to make money is to invest in the market the second must be not to loose principle. The tables tell the tale, this indicator keeps investors from going against the market.

A Must ReadMar 08, 2001
By Heather
One of the keys to successful trading is recognizing that the market is not a combatant. It is not a bloodstained arena, a boxing ring, a firefight, or even a physical thing. This book also helped me confirm something I have always suspected: trading should be easy. This is to say, the journey is hard and grueling, but once you get there the sense of conflict and adversity should be gone. Before-During and After-Hours. Congratulations!
