analysis, a mathematical tool used in fundamental analysis. Finally,
he looks at specific markets, such as sugar and soybeans, and shows
how to apply the analytical techniques he has described. This is the
first of an eventual three-volume set, but it does stand sufficiently
on its own. Highly recommended for serious investment collections. |

New
Market Timing Techniques : Innovative Studies in Market Rhythm & Price
Exhaustion
Thomas R. DeMark
/ published: July 1997 / Hardcover / 288 pgs. |
|
| A
Reader's Comments: "The dichotomy of reviews -- either love or hate
-- this book's contents appears to be a byproduct of the readers'
level of market involvement. If one has studied the markets or if
one is determined to have a solid foundation in market dynamics, this
book is required reading. If one requires spoon feeding and desires
to make no attempt to understand market behavior, this book is useless.
Making money is difficult for even experienced traders and to acquire
even small increments of knowledge is valuable. I learned a lot about
markets and trading from this book and with the proper outlook most
determined should as well." |

John Sweeney, Jack
Sweeney / published: July 1996 / Hardcover / pgs. |

first and only professional guide that tackles the impermanence and
built-in obsolescence of most trading systems. This book carefully
shows futures, options, stocks, and bonds traders how to create a
profitable campaign that works for a specific financial instrument,
under certain circumstances, for a limited period of time. Then, instead
of blindly staying with the system, the user learns to redevelop and
adapt it for the next set of financial circumstances. Because the
program is constantly adjusted to meet market changes, obsolescence
is avoided and the overall trading campaign remains fresh, flexible,
and even more profitable. Offers sound guidelines to implement trending
into any trading system. |
