Evolution of a Trader explores the four trading styles that
people use when learning to trade or invest in the stock market.
Often, beginners enter the stock market by:
* Buying and holding onto a stock (value investing). That works
well until the trend ends or a bear market begins. Then they
try
* Position trading. This is the same as buy-and-hold, except the
technique sells positions before a significant trend change
occurs.
* Swing trading follows when traders increase their frequency of
trading, trying to catch the short-term up and down swings.
Finally, people try
* Day trading by completing their trades in a single day.
This series provides comprehensive coverage of the four trading
styles by offering numerous tips, sharing discoveries, and
discussing specific trading setups to help you become a successful
trader or investor as you journey through each style.
Trading Basics takes an in-depth look at money
management, stops, support and resistance, and offers dozens of
tips every trader should know.
Fundamental Analysis and Position Trading discusses when
to sell a buy-and-hold position, uncovers which fundamentals work
best, and uses them to find stocks that become
10-baggers--stocks that climb by 10 times their original
value.
Swing and Day Trading reveals methods to time the market
swings, including specific trading setups, but it covers the basics
as well, such as setting up a home trading office and how much
money you can make day trading.
