Trading Book Review: Midas Technical Analysis

Friday, July 1st, 2011

Midas Technical Analysis

Author: Andrew Coles and David Hawkins
RRP $92.95 Trader Dealer Price – $79.95

Trading book review by Janene Murdoch from the Educator Investor Bookshop

The Midas system is based on Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP). Whilst it is not a technical analysis tool, it is a pricing tool used by brokers and institutional investors to ensure efficient pricing in trading.

These two author/traders have expanded the original concept into a trading tool, demonstrating how it can be used in different time frames in conjunction with some more traditional indicators such as moving averages.

Included in Appendix B and C are the codes for the Midas Curves for use in the software Metastock and Tradestation.

This is a fabulous book for technical analyst’s who take their craft very seriously.

This book is available from the Educated Investor Book shop. If you would like to order this book please visit The Educated Investor Bookshop website.

Trading book review by Janene Murdoch from the Educator Investor Bookshop

Significant money can be made in the stock market by following big trends. In Trend Qualification and Trading, market technician L.A. Little explains how to identify and qualify these trends to determine the likelihood that they will continue and produce better trading results.

By combining price, volume, different time-frames, and the relationship between the general market, sectors, and individual stocks, Little shows how to measure the strength of stock trends. Most importantly, he demonstrates how to determine if a trend has what it takes to develop into a major move with greater profit potential or if it is basically a false signal.

* Takes a proven technical approach to identifying and profiting from financial market trends
* Shows how to best time entries, when to take profits, and when to exit trades
* Introduces Little’s proprietary concept, The Trading Cube, which visually combines time and trend for a given trading instrument

Filled with in-depth insights and practical advice, this guide will help you make more of your time in today’s markets by providing an in-depth explanation of how to identify and qualify trends.

Trading Book Review: Shares to Buy and When

Shares to Buy and When – 2011

Jim Berg
RRP $29.95

FREE freight within Australia for Trader Dealer newsletter subscribers

Trading book review by Janene Murdoch from the Educator Investor Bookshop

This book takes all the hard work out of the analysis and gets you on the road to investing in a fraction of the time!

Over the past 12 months it hasn’t been easy for traders and investors alike to make money on the sharemarket. I have had thousands of investors and share traders coming through the doors of my shop wanting information to further their knowledge on how to evaluate shares using both fundamental and technical analysis.

Few books discuss both disciplines in detail, leaving the final, time-consuming analysis to the individual. I have found that time is the enemy of most of these investors and share traders, so I was delighted to have ‘Shares to Buy & When’ to recommend.

I was overwhelmed by the huge response to Jim’s book. The consistent message from all who read the book, was that Jim took all the hard work out of the analysis, and allowed them to get on with what’s important – family, work and the markets.

It is again with great pride that I am associated with the 2011 edition and I have a feeling that each edition of Shares to Buy & When will become a must-have in all traders and investors libraries.”

One Good Trade

Mike Bellafiore
RRP $77.95

Trader Dealer Price $68.00

Trading book review by Janene Murdoch from the Educator Investor Bookshop

One Good Trade

The proprietary trading firm consists of a group of professionals who trade the capital of the firm. Their income and livelihood is generated solely from their ability to take profits consistently out of the markets. The world of prop trading is mentally and emotionally challenging, but at the same time it offers substantial rewards to the select few who can master this craft called trading.

In One Good Trade: Inside the Highly Competitive World of Proprietary Trading, author Mike Bellafiore shares the principles and techniques that have enabled him to navigate the most challenging of markets over the past twelve years. He explains how he has imparted those techniques to an elite desk of traders at the proprietary trading firm he co-founded. In doing so, he lifts the veil on the inner workings of his firm, shedding light on the challenges of prop trading and gives an insight on why traders succeed or fail.

An important contribution to trading literature, the book will help all traders by:

*Emphasizing the development of skills that are critical to success, such as the fundamentals of One Good Trade, Reading the Tape, and finding Stocks In Play

*Outlining the factors that really make the difference between a consistently profitable trader and one who underperforms.

*Sharing entertaining, hysterical and page turning stories of traders who have excelled or failed and why many, trained by the author, with an essential trading principle wrapped inside.

*Becoming a better trader takes discipline, skill development, and statistically profitable trading strategies, and this book will show you how to develop all three.
