    Trading book review by Janene Murdoch from the Educator Investor Bookshop

    Gartley Trading Method

    A detailed look at the technical pattern simply referred to today as the Gartley Pattern.

    Gartley patterns are based on the work of H.M. Gartley, a prominent technical analyst best known for a particular retracement pattern that bears his name. In recent years, Gartley patterns, which reflect the underlying psychology of fear and greed in the markets, have received renewed interest. This definitive guide skillfully explains how to utilize the proven methods of H.M. Gartley to capture consistent profits in the financial markets. Page by page, you’ll become familiar with Gartley’s original work, how his patterns can be adapted to today’s fast moving markets and what it takes to make them work for you.

    This book examines how to identify and profit from the most powerful formation in the financial markets and discusses the similarities, differences and the superiority of the Gartley Pattern compared to classical chart patterns including the Elliott Wave. It shows how to apply filters to Gartley patterns to improve the probability of your trading opportunities, as well as specific rules such as where to enter and exit positions.

    Gartley’s pattern is based on a unique market position where most traders refuse to participate due to fear. This book reveals how you can overcome this fear, and how to profit from the most consistent and reliable pattern in the financial markets.

    Forex On Five Hours A Week

    Raghee Horner
    RRP $77.95

    Trading book review by Janene Murdoch from the Educator Investor Bookshop

    Trading the forex market has become one of the most popular forms of trading, mainly because of its twenty four hour access and the fact that there is always a bull market available in this arena, a concept that is rather attractive today.

    But what if you don’t want to become a full-time trader? What if you just want to spend some time trading because you already have a job you like or what if you’re just looking to make a few extra dollars every month trading on the side, that’s where Forex on Five Hours a Week comes in.

    With this book, author Raghee Horner (a top forex trader and trusted teacher of trading systems) distils her forex strategies into the most streamlined systems possible and shows those with little time to dedicate to the market everything they need to know to capture consistent profits.

    By sharing her extensive experience in classic charting techniques, price action, and market psychology, Horner enables traders and investors of any skill level to quickly capitalise on, and make money from, the forex market. Page by page, she lays out a blueprint for fitting forex trading into your current schedule and skilfully addresses how to analyse the market, use visual and objective tools, and formulise a successful trading plan.

    Along the way, Horner also covers many other essential elements of this discipline, including focusing on the right indicators and set-ups, working across multiple time frames and pairs and understanding the role of individual financial centers.

    Successful trading shouldn’t be defined by time, but more importantly, by results. With Forex on Five Hours a Week as your guide, you’ll learn how to execute successful forex trades without spending every waking hour in front of a computer screen.
