Lewis Evans, Olga Sheean - LEFT Brain Trading: the right mindset and technique for success in Forex

Lewis Evans, Olga Sheean - LEFT Brain Trading: the right mindset and technique for success in Forex Summary:
Publisher: Inside Out Media | 2006-01-18 | ISBN: 0973822228 | PDF | 50 pages | 15.93 MB

LEFT Brain Trading technique can help improve trading confidence and performance through a process of self-discovery coupled with a revolutionary new way to set up charts to reveal the universal framework that governs all currency movements. This full-colour, illustrated book describes how mental programming can affect trading and how this can be changed for the better. It also introduces a new way to use the Fibonacci ratios to provide the trader with a one-time framework set-up; easier identification of trading opportunities; a means of identifying the size of a trade; and improved risk management. Purchasers of this book are invited into a dedicated online forum and a video channel at youtube.com/leftbraintrader. Trading appears be a good way to generate wealth. For many traders this isn't their experience. We are all driven by our subconscious programming, and much of it is negative. At an early age, we take on beliefs about ourselves and about the way the world works that have a huge impact on how we live our lives. Because this dynamic is largely subconscious, we don t realize it is happening, nor appreciate its impact on our ability to generate success or happiness. Spending time on techniques, books and positive affirmations can, ironically, make matters worse by increasing the internal conflict between our subconscious programming and what we want. In Forex we know that the candlesticks move to patterns, so the patterns must exist behind the candlesticks. It makes sense to find the pattern on the charts, rather than in the resulting currency movements. The Absolute Fibonacci Framework shows this. It is applied to charts permanently and can be used in conjunction with any trading system. For more, see Customer Discussions and Amapedia below the reviews. Set your charts, take some time to watch them and see the patterns.

Mastering the Currency Market: Forex Strategies for High and Low Volatility Markets Summary:

By Jay Norris, Teresa Bell, Al Gaskill
Publisher:   McGraw-Hill
Number Of Pages:   319
Publication Date:   2009-11-09
ISBN-10 / ASIN:   0071634843
ISBN-13 / EAN:   9780071634847

Product Description:

Make Volatility and Risk Work for You with Forex Trading!

“This book should be in every trader/investor’s library. As we come out of this depressed market . . . this book can be your companion, helping you avoid mistakes and enhance your trading/investment program.” —Bill M. Williams, author of Trading Chaos

“Whether you’re just getting started trading the world’s most exciting financial market, or you’re looking to add to your trading edge, [the authors] have written an engaging book packed with powerful techniques that you can use right now.” —Rob Booker, trader, author, educator, and founder and host of TraderRadio.net

The foreign exchange market is the largest trading market in the world, with average daily volume well into the trillions. Because the market is always characterized by high liquidity, forex traders benefit most from volatile markets—making it the ideal investment approach today and well into the future.

Mastering the Currency Market is a comprehensive guide to currency and futures trading strategies and techniques for both highly volatile and nonvolatile markets.

Putting to work their vast and highly diverse experience in forex trading, the authors explain how to take advantage of the many benefits of foreign exchange trading, including its low cost of entry afforded by margin, and the dynamic pricing by nature of the competitive marketplace. Mastering the Currency Market is divided into five sections covering:

The basics of trading currencies
Fundamental analysis of price valuation
Technical analysis and trading charts
Trading philosophy and psychological discipline
Volatility and risk management
With four decades of combined experience, the authors clearly communicate to you a trading method that will give you the confidence to both analyze markets and execute trades successfully, regardless of underlying market conditions.

As 2008 introduced nightmare scenarios for investors around the world, it was Al Gaskill’s most productive period of his trading career. He used the same trading methods spelled out in this book.

Apply the lessons inside and you’ll see profits rise during periods of high market volatility, and when the market slows down, you can downshift to countertrending methods. It’s a win-win investing method, and Mastering the Currency Market leads you through it every step of the way.

Investing with Anthony Bolton: The Anatomy of a Stock Market Winner


Investing with Anthony Bolton: The Anatomy of a Stock Market Winner Summary:
Harriman House | ISBN: 1905641117 | 2006-11-01 | PDF | 216 pages | 3 Mb


Who is the most successful investment manager in Britain? Arguments could rage forever, but no professional would dispute that Anthony Bolton of Fidelity is among the very best. #1,000 invested in his Special Situations fund at its launch in 1979 would today be worth more than #80,000. No other mainstream UK fund manager has put together such a consistently impressive performance over such a long period. The 80-fold increase represents an average compound growth rate of 19.9% per annum, or 6% per annum more than the FTSE All-Share Index over the same period. This track record is every bit as good as that recorded by American investment superstars such as Warren Buffett and Peter Lynch. Fidelity Special Situations fund is now the largest and most popular fund in the UK, with more than #3.6 billion of assets.What are the secrets of Bolton's success? In this important new book, published to coincide with the 25th anniversary of its launch, Jonathan Davis, investment columnist of The Independent, takes an in-depth look at the way that Bolton goes about his business and analyses in detail the performance of the fund over the past 25 years.In a separate 12,000 word section Anthony Bolton gives his own personal account of the history of the fund, explains why he believes his contrarian stockpicking methods have worked so well for so long and discloses how he handles the pressures of being the best-known fund manager in London. This book will be required reading for anyone with a personal or professional interest in investment.

Forex Shockwave Analysis


Forex Shockwave Analysis Summary:
McGraw-Hill | 2007-12-05 | ISBN: 0071498141 | 368 pages | PDF | 1,6 Mb


More than $2 trillion is traded in the foreign exchange every day, and many experts believe this figure will double in the next five years. Fortunately for spot currency traders, the high-volume periods in this market are predictably moved by information released from government and informational agencies, typically on Wednesdays and Fridays at 8:30 a.m. Knowing this gives the Forex trader tremendous analytical advantage, and in Forex Shockwave Analysis, veteran online spot currency trader James Bickford offers reliable techniques and know-how to capitalize on the violent disruptions that happen at these times. When a severe breakout up or down occurs in an otherwise well-behaved time series, it's called a shockwave, and Forex Shockwave Analysis offers unprecedented focus on identifying, analyzing, and categorizing this unique pattern in the foreign exchange market. It not only helps independent investors isolate and recognize recurring shockwave personality traits, but it also gives insight into the reactive phase immediately following the shockwave. Fundamental analysis is covered to provide complete coverage, but playing this market's action can be most highly profitable when the streaming data available today is used to reveal critical properties and characteristics about the underlying currency pair. This book equips you with the four most important methods of technical analysis:
Pattern recognition
Econometric models
Crossover trading systems
Wave theory Forex Shockwave Analysis is packed with practical information for mastering shockwave trading, including a refined minimum reversal algorithm that converts raw security data (OHLC quotes) to swing data, numerous charts and diagnoses based on activity, range, and interaction, as well as fifteen case studies demonstrating how covered material works in the real world. This highly visual book is also outstandingly designed to serve as a computer-side reference that equips you with eleven appendices filled with all the tools you need to gain a distinct advantage while working online in your currency trading platform. Shockwaves occur over the course of a few minutes, and with Forex Shockwave Analysis, you can effectively profit off them for a lifetime.
