Product Description

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A beginner's perspective on Stop Orders, 25 Jan 2010

By	M. Owen (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I found Tony Loton's book very readable. His style is clear and straightforward. He demonstrates that various orders play a crucial role in investment, whether in equities, commodities, or foreign exchange. After one reading, I felt that I had grasped the fundamental importance of orders, particularly stop orders, in terms of managing risk while at the same time making the most of investment positions.

Beyond the fundamentals, there are some fairly complex examples of the use of orders, all very well explained and often backed up with chart examples from the FTSE and elsewhere. I am sure that it will act as a good reference book, especially for those of us who are trying to learn the ropes.

There are some interesting real-life trading examples. Here the author not only shows the benefits of using orders in an investment strategy, but he also indicates their limitations. The book has encouraged me to take this aspect of trading very seriously and I am very much hoping that buying the book will prove to be a very good investment in itself!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fed up with being stopped out? Try this book., 18 Jan 2010

By	A. Bryant - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Stop Orders is for anyone who is interested in trading, whether it be in shares, foreign currency or spread bets. I believe the placement of your stop order will make the difference between success and failure. It is certainly the area of my trading that has caused the most problems. Simply because my understanding of stop orders was the weakest part of my strategy. I was a little concerned that a book written solely on stop orders would be dull. But not a bit of it, I read the book cover to cover in less than two days. The style of the author is excellent, all the examples are very clear, and I am already using several of the strategies listed in the book. Certainly a valuable addition to any traders library. Recommended!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Stops, stops and more stops!, 6 Feb 2010

By	D. Hipkiss (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.
