From the Back Cover
Do you know your limit order from your trailing stop order?

For novice traders this book collates the order types provided by your stockbroker, and presents each one in the form of a standardized pattern that you can apply in your trading.

Do you combine your stockbroker's order types effectively in your trading or investment strategy?

For intermediate traders this book presents standardized financial trading patterns that combine various order types, and which allow you to execute strategies such as:

"Buy low, sell high"
"Buy high, sell higher"
"Cut your losses, let your profits run"

Each pattern comprises the pattern name, the motivation for the pattern, a pictorial success scenario, a pictorial failure scenario, and the application of the pattern in practice.

For a real-life perspective you will find details of the author's own use of trading patterns, as well as his back-testing results.

Customer Reviews

Pre-publication review
I am posting this review as the author, to relay comments that I received from a reviewer prior to publication:

"Personally I found the concepts so well explained that it took only one read-through to understand and take on board. I would recommend this book to anyone new to trading, unfamiliar with online trading or thinking about short term trading." -- Martin Minney
