Author Bio

Alpesh B.Patel

Described by Channel 4 as the UK's best known internet trader, Alpesh started programming computers in BASIC at the age of 10 and buying stocks 18 years ago at the age of 12. He left a legal career to trade full time.

Today he concentrates on US stocks as well as futures and options trading, making extensive use of the internet for research since he was a Congressional Intern in 1994 and combining this with his own technical analysis systems. On Channel 4's latest Show Me The Money series he came number 1 of 45 expert stock pickers.

Alpesh writes the `Diary of an Internet Trader' for the weekend Financial Times and appears weekly on Bloomberg TV on `Bloomberg Money'. In 2001 he completed his own TV interview show series, `NewsBytes'.

Alpesh is the author of Net Trading, Trading Online, The Mind of a Trader and Pocket Guide to Trading Online, all published by Financial Times Prentice Hall. His books have been translated into Spanish, German, French, Chinese and Polish.

Alpesh regularly speaks on online trading, trading psychology and technical analysis around the world.

Priyen Patel

Priyen's interest in trading was sparked as a schoolboy, being raised in the same household as co-author cousin Alpesh. His interests are in short-term derivatives and spread-betting, CFDs and stock futures trading, with an emphasis on technical analysis and macroeconomics.

A recent graduate of Oxford University, like Alpesh he read Philosophy, Politics and Economics at St Anne's College. Unlike Alpesh, Priyen won prizes and did far better in his degree.
