The S&P futures pit is the ultimate arena for traders. It is a place where trading titans make split-second decisions on huge amounts of money, and fortunes appear and vanish with the blink of an eye. Successful day traders are brilliant, aggressive-and lucky. Lewis J. Borsellino is all three. And now he is telling his story. The nation's top S&P futures trader, Borsellino takes you inside the world of the day trader.
Chronicling Borsellino's incredible run on the floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, The Day Trader offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at his everyday strategies and tactics. Raised to be a fierce and fearless competitor, Borsellino felt at home the first day he walked into the chaos and excitement of the Merc. In The Day Trader, he offers both a compelling story as well as an inside look at day trading and the S&P market. Borsellino outlines exactly what contributed to his unparalleled success-a rare blend of discipline, drive, intelligence, and an uncanny ability to read and interpret the market. The Day Trader is also a candid memoir of a second generation Italian American who learned tough life lessons from his father.
The senior statesman of the S&P pit, Borsellino offers vivid firsthand accounts of the unique dynamics of the trading floor, the fortunes won and lost in the crash of 1987, the FBI investigation that rocked the futures trading industry, and the tense political battles between Merc titans Leo Melamed and Jack Sandner. He also shares war stories from the floor, many involving top traders such as Richard Dennis and George Soros.
Finally, Borsellino chronicles the latest phase of his career, as he moves beyond the beloved trading pit to the challenges and opportunities of the electronic trading arena. More than the success story of one the nation's most respected traders, The Day Trader offers practical insights into the futures markets, pit trading, market psychology, fundamental and technical analysis, and risk. It is a rare opportunity to see inside the mind of one of today's most brilliant traders.
LEWIS J. BORSELLINO is the top S&P futures trader in the United States with a career that has spanned an unprecedented 18 years.

Borsellino is a frequent contributing commentator on CNN and CNBC where he is regarded as the "biggest and best trader" in S&Ps.

Amazon.com Review
The subtitle of The Day Trader, From the Pit to the PC, indicates the evolution of the trader from floor jockey to computer cowboy. But this is less an account of the trader's changing arena than the story of Lewis Borsellino, a fist-shaking Italian American from Chicago's West Side whose grit and determination helped him become one of the top traders in the Standard & Poor futures pit. "When the world around me goes nuts, I become more sane. The wilder the market gets, the more disciplined I become." He credits this focus to his tough but compassionate Italian American father, a truck driver with a penchant for lightening the loads of his deliveries. "I do what I do so you don't have to," says the elder Borsellino, prior to getting busted by the feds for hijacking a million-dollar shipment of silver.
Shedding his father's mobster ties, Borsellino quickly moves up the trading ranks, establishing a position--literally--on the second step of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. For 18 years, he doesn't budge, sometimes using his fists to ward off aggressive traders, and gaining a "sixth sense" that helps him determine which way the market is headed. Although Borsellino provides a good deal of technical reasoning behind his many successes and failures, he repeatedly returns to this intangible quality, stressing its importance and describing how it's made him millions.
The Day Trader concludes with some thoughts on the pit's computerized future. Since writing the book, Borsellino has left the S&P to become a fund manager. He relies on computers now more than ever, but wonders how digital day traders without floor experience will get their sense of market flow, timing, and price patterns. Borsellino's The Day Trader is a good place to start. --Rob McDonald
Review
"A legendary S&P floor trader has written a powerful, brutally honest chronicle of his determined rise to the top of his profession. Touching and insightful, this riveting account is one of the best trading memoirs ever." -Nelson Freeburg, Publisher, Formula Research
"The Day Trader provides a rare look into the events that shaped the extraordinary character of one of the most unique people to ever put on a trading jacket. Most compelling are the glimpses into Borsellino's Italian-American upbringing. It comes as no surprise that Borsellino places himself at the center of the maelstrom surrounding electronic trading versus open outcry and provides a truly balanced, intelligent, and unemotional view of the momentous transformation occurring in the financial markets. It is imperative that anyone involved in trading the markets - either traditionally or electronically - read this story and benefit from the insights of one of the great traders of our lifetime."-Mario Alberico, Former Senior Vice President, Electronic Trading, Chicago Mercantile Exchange
"The Day Trader is must reading for anyone in the market. Lewis Borsellino is an Italian American hero who climbed the mountain with guts and honor." -Dominic Di Frisco, President Emeritus, Joint Civic Committee of Italian-Americans
"...the most honest road map to a succesful trading career ever written....generously salted with genuine insight into the workings of the market."-Worth Magazine

Overcoming Adversity in Trading Through Strength and Courage
By A Customer
When I first picked up the book, I thought it was a promotional piece for a trader turned fund manager. I was wrong. I realized this was from a real trader, not an expert. Having lost much money from following technical experts' advice, I've learned only to read the masters. Those who want a technical book, don't look here. But know that if you want to win and win big, you may want to read this. I also learned that you don't have to nit-pik every psychological thought to arrive at masterful trading, as the psychologists of trading would have you believe.
I was totally hooked into the story of his life's joys and sorrows. I couldn't put it down--I read it in one sitting. Some books have interviewed the best traders with similar conclusions from their experiences, but rarely do they provide the insight into their minds. Traders lives parallel. The book captured many of my own experiences. This was a heroic story describing overcoming in one of the world's most difficult occupations.
I used to wonder what made a Jesse Livermore tick? What in his trading career made him commit suicide? (I assure you, it was not a trading rule he broke.) This is a rare book because it's an authentic, open-hearted, unabashed, no-holds-back account into the soul of one of the best pit traders in all time and his trial by fire, of a reality more dramatic than any fiction story.
The Dalai Lama says that we have traveled so far into the stars, to other planets, to the moon, but we have not looked inwardly. We have not traveled into our hearts, into the domain of mind. When one considers the intense nature of trading emotions including pain and suffering, illusion and confusion, greed and fear, ego and humility, shame and anger, this journey, whether you travel or not, is the journey of all traders, captured par excellence in this book. It's a story about an Italian American turning prejuidice into riches, about a soul turning defeat into victory. If you're new to the game, this is what it takes.

Much of it is entertaining, but overall a disappoinment.
By A Customer
This book contains many interesting (and some amusing) anecdotes from the life of a very unique individual. It also gives a good picture of the controlled chaos in the (futures) pits.
However, the book is very repetitious. The entire first half of the book can be summarized as follows: My father loved his family and felt forced to provide for us in ways that society rewards with jail sentences. My father taught my brother and me never to walk away from a fight. Along with other things he taught us, this is what has allowed me to be the success I am today.
Second, I was expecting (hoping?) for more than just a superficial treatment of the psychology and strategies used in trading. Those looking for a "how to" book will not find it here.
Third, there were a couple of chapters devoted to Mr. Borsellino's opinions as to how the Chicago futures exchanges must adapt to and incorporate electronic trading. These to me were quite technical and uninteresting, and seemed out of place here.
Finally, the last couple of chapters seemed a bit too much like an ad for the newly-formed Borsellino Capital Management firm. In fact, Mr. Borsellino writes, "I want my investors who read this book to know me as a trader with unique expertise in an increasingly unpredictable market and to know me as a man."
I don't want to discourage anyone from reading this book. I did enjoy most of it. However, you should be clear as to what the book is, and what it isn't.

A brutally boring ego trip
By A Customer
As best I can figure, Borsellino wrote this book for three reasons-ego gratification, to get publicity to help raise funds for his money management firm, and to try to capitalize on the trend of day/electronic trading books landing on business best-sellers lists.
Borsellino offers absolutely no insight into his trading strategy beyond what can be found in any trading primer-the trend is your friend, use stops, don't use too much leverage. He was far short of having enough material for a book, so the same stories are repeated over and over, while other ideas are milked for all their worth. One less-than-memorable passage: "...In the high times of 1987, I made $4.5 million, solely by trading my own money. I earned no investment fees or commissions. Every dollar I earned was the profit I made by trading my own account. I was among the fortunate ones who made a lot of money in 1987..."
The main message of this book is, "I'm great and my father, the mobster, was great."
It's also a work of fiction: "...Together, [my assistant] and I instituted a lot of innovations in pit trading. We hired a clerk just to help us check trades...Now virtually everybody has a trade checker in the pit..." So Borsellino invented trade checking, eh? Why does this sound like Al Gore's claim that he invented the Internet?
Finally, Borsellino has a chip on his shoulder the size of a boulder. He tells many tales of the fights he's had in the pit. He claims that Italian-Americans can't get a fair shake in this country, that they are discriminated against everywhere. Basically he's a hot-headed blow-hard who blames others for his own violent temper. "It all started when he hit me back!"
The bottom line is--don't waste your time or your money. A much better choice would be Buzzy Schwartz's book "Pit Bull."
