Synopsis

As the electronic marketplace explodes, so does the proficiency of the new electronic day traders. This text is for traders with a wide range of skills, using services from online discount brokers to ECNs (Electronic Communication Networks). ECNs are a virtual exchange used to trade stocks without using a broker and are a rapidly growing business. With no end to that growth in sight, electronic traders need all the information on the subject that they can get. This volume gives a complete overview, including chapters on understanding the marketplace, market psychology, technical analysis, the best stocks to trade, and putting it all together. It provides the beginner with a great place to start, but also gives the more experienced trader a guide to continuing success.

A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

Wiley online trading for a Living
Real tactics for real profits anytime, anywhere!

In this authoritative and educational guide to electronic day trading, experts Bob Baird and Craig McBurney cut through the media hype to reveal the truth about this revolutionary new form of trading: virtually anyone armed with the new generation of inexpensive, user–friendly digital trading technology now has the power to make markets and reap rewards traditionally enjoyed exclusively by the big brokerage houses provided they are fully trained. Day trading for a living can be a profitable endeavor; day trading on a lark, without proper know–how, is not only unwise but can be dangerous to your risk capital.

Backed by their experience as successful electronic day traders, Baird and McBurney provide the expert guidance you’ll need to thrive in this increasingly popular trading arena. Following a preliminary review of market basics, the authors cut to the chase with a complete hands–on tutorial in all practical aspects of electronic day trading. They introduce you to SOES and electronic communication networks (ECNs), and show you how to use them to execute trades instantaneously, thereby eliminating excessive broker fees and poor fills due to lag–times between order placements and executions. In addition to walking you through such nuts–and–bolts issues as the computer trading screen setup and assessing trading rooms, the authors provide priceless pointers on how to anticipate the impact of the news on the marketplace and exploit the subtleties of trading psychology. Baird and McBurney also explore various day trading strategies and styles such as market timing, scalping, momentum, and swing trading and help you successfully adopt the ones best suited to your personality and goals.

A complete hands–on guide to today’s most exciting form of trading, Electronic Day Trading to Win is an indispensable training tool for newcomers and experienced day traders alike.

Biographie de l'auteur

BOB BAIRD, Ph.D., is an independent investor and geologist who owns his own consulting firm, Environmental Consulting, Inc., in Glen Allen, Virginia. Baird applies his high–level scientific background to technical analysis, with specific emphasis on day trading. And, as a former award–winning college–level instructor, he is well able to convey difficult concepts in a simple and understandable way.

CRAIG McBURNEY is the founder of a Web–based investor education company, TradeMentor.com. McBurney spent the beginning of his day trading career like most people –losing money. He quickly recognized the need in the marketplace for quality training and was unable to find a true mentoring program. This was the catalyst for launching the distance–learning training available through TradeMentor.com.
