Der Online-Börsenhandel brachte eine neue Klasse individueller Investoren hervor, die ihre Tage damit verbringen, am heimischen Computer zu kaufen und zu verkaufen - in einer Weise, die einst den mächtigsten Maklerfirmen und Investmentbanken der Wall Street vorbehalten war. Der Autor war bis zum Alter von 23 Jahren Makler an der Wall Street und fing dann an, selbständig über das Internet tätig zu werden - mit außerordentlichem Erfolg. Er erklärt Ihnen Chancen und Fallen des Online-Geschäfts aus eigener Erfahrung! (05/99)
The explosive growth and low cost of online trading has created a new class of investor who can now make a living buying and selling stocks over the Internet in a way that was once reserved for Wall Street's most powerful brokerage firms and investment banks. While technology has made entering the "major leagues" easy, staying in is not. Before taking to the fast-paced, high-risk playing field, it's absolutely essential that you have a firm grasp of the rules and a solid game plan. Day Trade Online is the play book novice competitors need to become strong contenders. Written by seasoned practitioner Christopher Farrell, it is a one-stop, step-by-step overview of how to make a successful living, whether full- or part-time, trading via the Internet.
Day trading can be quite lucrative, but only if you know what you are doing. As Farrell points out: "Trading for a living is hard. Trading for a living over the Internet is even harder. There are many challenges and obstacles that confront you. Venturing into this jungle unprepared is a recipe for disaster." This straightforward guide provides the head start and heads up necessary to thrive as an Internet day trader, covering everything from the dangers and pitfalls of trading online to an in-depth analysis of which trading techniques work and which don't.
Day Trade Online presents inside information on the strategies of top trading firms, including the most secretive, misunderstood, and profitable function on Wall Street: exploiting the bid-ask spread. Along with complete details on this rarely revealed methodology, you'll learn about: The tools needed to get started in online trading. Trading on the NYSE and NASDAQ. Which stocks to trade - and which to avoid. Beating the specialists and the market makers at their own game. The dangers and pitfalls of online brokers.
Most importantly, you will learn to look at ten different stocks and pinpoint which one to trade, when, at what price, and why. With the right know-how, you will then be able to apply this knowledge to every single stock that you screen.
Written for the day trader, by a day trader, this is indispensable reading for anyone looking to join an increasingly popular - and profitable - arena.

Of the many day-trading books that have made it on the Business Week list in the past year, Farrell's is perhaps the most readable. Unlike the other tomes written by veteran traders, his book really starts from the beginning, explaining how stocks are traded. Then he lays out some basic common sense -day traders should choose their moments carefully, getting in and out of stocks quickly, aiming to "hit singles, not home runs," he writes.
