Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Fully revised and updated for a new millennium, the second edition of Alpesh Patel's classic maintains that it's still cheaper to deal online and builds on the original blueprint to show how the average investor can join the growing army of market players who are accepting the fact. Partnered with the techniques and strategies of Net Trading, these books represent a formidable market toolkit.

For many the Internet remains a mystery. Trading Online helps unravel the mystique. To begin with it discusses what is needed to start out in Net dealing, describing not only the gear you need, but also looking at service providers, browsers and the like. Then it's into the action, with Patel advocating three main advantages of not being a trading Goliath--the ability to sit tight with no-one looking over your shoulder, the control you have over decision making: "You are the trigger man. it all depends on you and you alone", and the assertion that the greater availability of information puts the private investor almost on a par with the professional.

Product choice is also of key importance and advice is given on the questions to ask and where to find the best type of data for your chosen type of trading. In a no-nonsense easy-to-read style Patel takes you through the complexities of business analysis and trading strategy and the essential skeleton plans and action plans--"the unspoken aspect behind successful and professional trading." There's a wealth of material, too, on Web sites that will be useful to the investor, and what is offered by online brokers. And there's useful information on further reading as well as options analysis software. A book for the beginner as well as the more experienced online trader. In itself a worthwhile investment. --Jake Bond --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great stuff here, 27 Jul 2000
By A Customer
I have been trading in UK stocks now for nearly a year, I have found this an indispensible reference and tutor on some of the more basic things I missed, but more importantly on the advanced material I was not aware of.

It is very well written, not in a nerdy, geeky style with lots of humour and real life experiences.

Well recommended.

1.0 out of 5 stars Bigtime disappointment - don't even think about doing it!, 25 Jan 2000
By m.andersen@idg.dk (Copenhagen, Denmark) - See all my reviews
Dear fellow Amazoners, A step-by-step guide to cyberprofits. Yeah right. I would definitely not recommend anybody to buy this book. Don't do it!!! The first 70 or so pages deal with absolutely nothing that has to do with online trading. It tells you what an ISP is. What a harddisk is. What different browsers to choose from and so forth. After reading for a while I thought the next thing Patel was gonna teach was how to turn on my computer and tell me where the return key is situated on the keyboard. And to make it worse - the info here is completely out of date! Apart from this the book looks like one of those "Word in ten minute" guides. It's plastered with dumps from the net and hardly no text. It's really a joke to actually have paid money for this. When it comes to the actual part of the book that deals w/ online trading it continues to do a bad job. Go for other titles. I have bought several excellent titles dealing w/ online investing..this one is without no doubt the worst.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poorly written, ok as a directory, 10 Jan 2000
By Peter M (London) - See all my reviews
This book did nothing to win me over to the joys of day trading, which is its main subject-matter. I like my books to expand on their propositions in coherent language. This book seemed to be all lists. The lists of websites were useful but I expected more for my money. Disappointing.
