Description of The Day Trader's Survival Guide

Every dollar a day trader makes is won in a struggle against lightning-fast market movements, market makers who manipulate stock prices, online brokers who mishandle orders, gut-wrenching volatility, and NYSE specialists who have an insider's edge on prices.

Let best selling author and expert day trader Christopher A. Farrell show you how to stay ahead of the game. In his new book he introduces trading scenarios and tactics that the nimble online trader can use against the powerful trading desks of big-city brokerage firms. He explores the dangers of volatile markets and shows readers how to:

Exploit inefficiencies in the NYSE's specialist system

Beat the market makers at their own game in NASDAQ's volatile tech markets

Employ exotic strategies in areas such as arbitrage, illiquid stocks, and out-of-favor market segments
