"The Online Trading Cookbook pulls off a near impossible task. Not only does it demystify a notoriously opaque subject but actually makes it entertaining. The lid of the traders' black box has finally been well and truly removed."

"At last someone brave enough to explain trading clearly we can't all read a trading manual but we can all read a recipe."

Justin Urquhart Stewart, Co-Founder 7 Investment Management

Markets have evolved significantly over time led by globalisation, technology, higher volumes and innovative instruments. However, the most important aspect of investment has remained unchanged - the human emotion of greed and fear. As a result, the same patterns of price behaviour are repeated over and over. Alpesh s new book provides an invaluable guide to trading using charts illustrating these price patterns in a unique and easy to understand recipe format.

Jayesh Manek, CEO and Investment Manager, Manek Investments

Alpesh provides as ever as the leading authority in his field clear and concise guide to making profits from proven trading strategies.
