SUMMARY
Short term trading is ideal for volatile and nervous markets. These are the practical tactics for nervous, unstable and volatile  markets. We explore defensive strategies designed to limit the time spent in the market. Speed offers protection and limits risk by reducing the time the trade is open. In nervous markets it makes more sense to snatch profits from short term trades rather than to buy a stock and hoping it does not sink.

Part 1 – TRADING TIME
Short term trading includes day trades and trades lasting from three to eight days. The skills we use as position traders are applied, with some modifications, to these time frames. This section provides a better understanding of when short term trading is appropriate. It demolishes some myths about day trading, inside trading and the breaking news advantage, so we can develop a clearer idea of how opportunities are created in these time frames.

Part 2 – FINDING OPPORTUNITY
This section shows how to benefit from inside news as it is traded in real time. Successful strategies for trading earnings and dividend announcements, leaked and surprise news are explained. Tactics to scalping volatility are included. They show how we apply Deel techniques  to the market. We conclude with a selection of short term rally patterns. Each chapter is illustrated with practical, real time examples.

Part 3 - PRODUCING PROFIT
Leverage produces better profits. This section explores techniques designed to get the best out of warrant trading. This includes trade identification, management, and the use of order line detail to capture leveraged profits. It concludes with slingshot trades which magnify the impact of the news and announcements tactics from the previous section.

Part 4 – LETHAL WEAPONS
This includes a selection of specific techniques, including overnight gap trading and adaptations of the Tony Oz intra day method. These are consistent winners that underpin short term trading success.

Part 5 – PROFIT TAKING
Execution risk is where theory meets practice. Short term traders are screen raiders and we show the techniques in detail using real time screen shots from actual trades. We show how electronic stop loss and contingent orders improve trade management.
