Unhelpful. Poorly written. No real advice at all. 
1) I do not think this is a good "Getting Started" book. I'd recommend the Dummies series as a first book. It's simple, to the point and much more organized. If this is the book you start with, you will end up more confused.

I found this book to be the missing link in my trading. I've long been struggling to find a framework with which I could understand and develop a complete trading strategy. The author does an excellent job with the codex approach in both explaining his framework and providing an example using his Goodman Swing trading system (in addition he also shares this system for those would like to use it). The book also provides very good insight into all the components of a complete trading strategy, how they work... more info
