Description of How to Win as a Stock Market Speculator |
How to Win as a Stock Market Speculator provides a crash course for both beginners and more advanced traders on speculating on the stock market. Far more than just another book about trading, it is a comprehensive guide that focuses on proven strategies for making money - whether the market is up or down.
This book shows you how to develop a successful trading system, and presents some important and little-known rules of the game. The author casts a professional eye over the choices traders have and advises which financial instruments to use, how to limit losses and how to maximise gains.
It will teach you the essentials of stock market speculation, including:
- how to find the right type of stock broker
- how to ascertain the style of trading that suits you best
- how to interpret financial statements and to calculate ratios
- how to detect creative accounting
- how to read the charts and time your trades better
- how to select what is useful from technical indicators
- how Fibonacci and Elliott Wave applications can make you money
- why CFDs are more cost-effective and better than spread betting
- the advantages of covered warrants over options
- how to exploit mergers and acquisitions, rights issues and other special situations, secrets of penny shares and new issues
- how to make fast money selling short
The author also addresses the pitfalls awaiting the stock market speculator and issues that so many books gloss over, such as choosing the right software, how to cope with the loneliness of stock market speculation from home, and how far it's possible to combine trading with full time employment.
How to Win as a Stock Market Speculator will help you to conduct your own trades based on sound principles of money management. It is an indispensable read, and a work of reference that you should always keep near your trading screen.
