Review
"I found it excellent. Very readable, practical and suitable for both the trader and investor". --John Cotter, Vice President (Brokerage), Barclays Wealth
Product Description
A stop order is an essential tool used for money management and risk limitation, but for many investors and traders it is not terribly well understood. Do you know how to apply stop orders effectively at entry, and maintain them properly until exit, so as to buy low and sell high, or buy high and sell higher? Do you know how to limit your downside risk by combining stop orders with effective position sizing? What will you do if the market gaps and you get stopped out? This book provides the answers. The author begins by presenting a thorough survey of the various stops available, including buy and sell stop orders and trailing stop orders. This provides a vital introduction for beginners, and a handy reference guide for those more experienced. Having described these tools, Stop Orders then moves on to examine their practical applications by explaining how to use the different stop order techniques when making your trades in the markets. The book is illustrated throughout with charts for stock indices, individual stocks, commodities and foreign exchange currency pairs to provide a range of real-life examples. This book covers everything you need to know about stop orders and how to make them work for you. Whether you are a trader, an investor, or a spread bettor, you should regard the stop order as essential in helping you lock in your profits and succeed in the markets.

This is an excellent book. The various types of stop orders are very clearly explained and their application is clearly shown on real world charts. I'd thought only of the 'stop loss' before reading this book, but Tony has shown me how I can use stop orders to enter trades as well as exit, and how to protect my profits as well as minimise my losses. There is also some very useful information on how the market makers can move a price temporarily and how you can avoid being stopped out unneccesarily. Furthermore, the principles in this book can be applied whether you choose to day trade, swing trade, or position trade. In summary this book can give you some extra tools for your trading toolkit as well as some excellent money management tips, which all contribute towards having an edge in trading. Reccomended.

Most novice traders and spread bettors think the stop (loss) order is a way to get out of a trade when the market has gone against you, as Tony explains, this is just the beginning and stops can also be used to enter trades, preserve profit and limit downside risks.
It's hard to think of another book that I have read that exerts so much time and energy to thoroughly making sure that the reader understands the concepts that are covered. Tony Loton's style is to give an example, demonstrate it in a stock market example and then dedicate further real-world examples in the second half of the book to help the reader really get to grips with the advantages of understanding and correctly applying stop orders.
My only slight caveat is the 'stop with limit' principle, which to me sounds like a quick route to the poor house! Apart from that an excellent book, thoroughly recommended.

The book covers a very important facility in any trader's arsenal - the stop order.
Many new traders tend to use market orders for opening and closing positions and this book serves to explain in detail the many uses of the stop order both in theory and practice.
In addition, to include the more experienced traders, there are also coverage on trading techniques making full use of the stop order facility on different asset classes such as indices, commodities, currencies and equities.
Overall, an excellent guide in the use of stop orders for both the protection of your capital and locking in of your profits.
