Stock Patterns for Day Trading Volume 2 by Barry Rudd

This book describes the trading strategies used by a professional stock trader in his own trading. The collection of trading patterns it describes and the trading strategies and tactics it teaches provide a valuable course of instruction on short term, swing, and day trading in individual stocks. This manual will prove valuable to short term stock traders who seek to make their living from short term price swings.

Mr. Rudd's first book, Stock Patterns for Day Trading, was a runaway best-seller that was exceptionally well received by thousands of traders. This sequel provides much new information, and strategies covered in the first book. Included are alternate entry points, countertrend trading techniques, an elaboration of the discussion on profit targets and price objectives, a filtering process to select the best trades, and a discussion of the psychology of successful trading.

About the Author: Barry Rudd, a native of Dallas, is a graduate (BS Psychology) of Texas A&M University. He worked in the area of pharmaceutical sales after college. Over a ten year period, he traded stocks, options, and futures on a part-time, and finally a full-time basis as a private investor. He currently day trades stocks (primarily NASDAQ issues) for a living. He has studied all forms of technical analysis and has found that Simplicity is your friend. I rely primarily upon specific daily and intraday price patterns to trade.
