BESTSELLER The Stock Trader: How I Make a Living Trading Stocks Professor Zayas-Bazan, Miami-Dade Community CollegeThis book is a MUST read for all daytraders. It is a practical and entertaining book. I strongly recommend both of Tony's books to all my daytrading students. Chris Wheeler, President DaytradingStocks.com This book is written in an easy to understand format that all can enjoy. It will help many traders - Beginners and Veterans. Book Description "Put your money where your mouth is," came the challenge. So he did. Best selling author, Tony Oz, was challenged by Tim Bourquin and Jim Sugarman, founders of the International Online Trading Expo, to prove that his stock trading strategies work, that he could consistently take higher-than-average returns out of the market. To meet the challenge, Tony kept a trading diary for four weeks, documenting each and every trade he made. The simple story that unfolded turned out to be of much greater consequence than anyone could have foreseen, as Tony chronicled a first-hand description of one of the worst stock market crashes in recent memory. Tony was already into his four-week trading challenge at the peak of the Nasdaq market, just before the Crash of April 2000. Having no idea at the time that he was in the middle of a “correction” that would wipe out over two trillion dollars of stockholder’s equity, Tony managed to earn respectable profits each week, and had only a few losing days. What is truly extraordinary is that all trades were on the Long side – not one trade was selling Short in a rapidly declining bear market. The results of the challenge are detailed in this exciting new book. Inside, Tony tells how he chose a broker, set up an account, and then drew a handsome income from the stock market each week, earning a 56% return on his capital in one month – more than most investors earn in a year. Over 100 round trip trades are recorded, charted and explained in a daily trading journal. Tony reveals what he was thinking and feeling, and he explains each trade’s strategy, and his profits and losses - all the while walking the reader through his simple methodology and simple rules. At the end of each week, he ordered a check from his broker to “sweep” his account, and prevent compounding of profits. “After all,” Tony explains in the book, “Friday is payday."

The author, Tony Oz , July 5, 2000 I present you with my greatest educational tool of all "There is nothing like losing all you have in the world for teaching you what not to do. And when you know what not to do in order not to lose money, you begin to learn what to do in order to win. Did you get that? You begin to learn!" ~ Reminiscences of a Stock Operator by Edwin Lefevre. Hi Everyone! It seems like it was two centuries ago when I placed my first order to buy 300 shares of stock. I was only sixteen years of age and a sophomore in high school. Fourteen years later, I am still in the business of trading stocks. I wish I could say that my road to success was a walk in the park, but it wasn't. It was a road filled with very expensive lessons. I always played a lone hand, and I was fortunate enough to have the greatest educational tool in my disposal, on my path to become a successful trader. It was my very own trading records. I see now that keeping detailed trading records was the single greatest educational tool I ever had, and I spent considerable time pouring over them, learning new lessons each time. My goal in this book is to let you "sit beside" me and watch trade after trade. Some are "textbook" in how well they come together, while others are very messy, and it seems everything goes wrong. But that is real life trading, and hopefully you will gain new insight from my experiences. This is my trading diary, and it is my hope that from this intimate look into my everyday activities, you too can learn as much from these records as I have. The reason this book came to being is that I was challenged by a dear friend of mine, Tim Bourquin, to take my first book, "Stock Trading Wizard," and show the world how I implement the strategies I featured in that book, in real life. I accepted the challenge, because I felt that it would be very beneficial to the reader to learn from my trading records. What you are about to read in this book is very educational. Therefore, there will be many illustrations that will require both time and a high concentration level on your part. This book was not intended to be a novel, but a text book of many lessons of how I trade stocks for a living. Every case study which features an executed trade includes a chart that shows the pattern I was trading. It is extremely important that you take the time to analyze each and every chart and understand exactly what took place. I understand that there is lot of technical information that slows down the flow of the action; however, it is that technical information that is so important to learn. One more thing, The CD Rom attached to the back cover contains a link to the Companion to The Stock Trader on the web. Please take the time to read the Companion so you can find the additional scattered gems. The Companion will be updated with new information on a regular basis. Finally, many of you sent me an e mail saying that while you thought that the book, "The Stock Trader," can be read by a relative novice on its own, you felt that it is better understood if it is read after the book, "Stock Trading Wizard." I think you must understand that I had no intention to rewrite or replace my first book. What would be the purpose of that? I did, however, want this book to compliment my first book, yet I wanted it to be understood on its own. I hope I was able to achieve that. Trade Smart! Tony Oz Buy Now ! |
