More About This Title What Works in Online Trading
English
Here is a uniquely honest examination of the online day trading concept, the firms that cater to it, and what works online and what doesn't, so that would-be day traders can avoid the pitfalls-and the losses. Discussing trading as a business that most traders conduct without a plan, this book addresses common trading misconceptions, provides realistic answers to critical questions, and features an investigative analysis based on real people who are day trading and the firms they trade at or through-whether through virtual trading rooms, the Internet, or real-time operations.
