Trading Book review: The Forex Mindset

Friday, July 15th, 2011

The Forex Mindset

Jared Martinez

RRP $49.95 Trader Dealer Price $39.95 (20% discount).

Trading book review by Janene Murdoch from the Educator Investor Bookshop

With the share market in disarray and the possibility of it staying that way for some time to come, many traders choose to trade another market rather than “sit it out”.

One market that is red hot at the moment is forex or the foreign exchange market. As with all trading, what
ever the market, psychology plays a big part in our decision making and Jared Martinez believes trading is 10% skill and 90% psychology.

In his latest book you will “get up close and personal to greed and fear” to develop the skills and winning attitude you will need to trade such a fast moving, volatile market.

Jared Martinez is also known for trading Fibonacci movements in markets, as described in his earlier book “The 10 Essentials of Forex Trading”

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.

The New Sell and Sell Short

Author: Dr Alexander Elder
RRP $52.95

Trader Dealer clients receive FREE freight!

Trading book review by Janene Murdoch from the Educator Investor Bookshop

A detailed look at one of the most underestimated aspects of trading-selling, In The New Sell and Sell Short is the second edition by Dr. Alexander Elder.

In this book he explains how to exit a stock at the right time and how to initiate a short position to profit from a stock that is showing weakness. Often overlooked, selling properly enables a trader to cut losses and maximize profits. Moreover, short selling in a weak market can generate big profits and should be a part of every trader’s arsenal of tools. The new edition contains numerous examples of short selling stocks from the 2008-2009 bear market, demonstrating very clearly why traders do themselves a disservice by only focusing on the long side. In addition, the new edition contains an extensive study guide to help readers master the material prior to trading.

Trading Book Review: Sharebuyer’s Guide to Investing in the Australian Mining Boom

Friday, March 11th, 2011

Sharebuyers Guide to Investing in the Australian Mining Boom

Allan Trench
RRP $34.95

FREE freight within Australia for Trader Dealer clients

Trading book review by Janene Murdoch from the Educator Investor Bookshop

The Australian Mining Industry is a major contributor to the national economy. The export revenues from the various metals and minerals mined from ‘The Lucky Country’ read like telephone numbers; make those international telephone numbers.

Dubious investors may be concerned whether what has become a hot sector of the Australian Sharemarket will continue to show growth in 2011, or whether all the future value of high commodity prices have already been priced into resources company share prices? For some resources stocks, the answer is yes: The values of some companies in this author’s opinion have become stretched. But for other resources stocks the answer is absolutely not: There are still spectacular share price gains around the corner for a number of resources stocks.

A Sharebuyer’s Guide to Investing in the Australian Mining Boom will help you evaluate which stocks in the mining sector have the best chance of outperforming the market.

This book also includes an A to Z (Aluminum to Zinc) of commodities and company profiles of 40 Emerging ASX-listed Resources Companies.

About The Author

DR ALLAN TRENCH is non-executive Chairman of ASX-listed Navigator Resources and a non-executive director of Venturex Resources, Pioneer Resources and Hot Chili. He holds a doctorate in geophysics, a masters degree in mineral economics and an MBA (Oxon). Allan is Adjunct Professor at the Western Australian School of Mines and a regular speaker at international conferences on the outlook for the mineral resources sector. Allan is also an Associate Consultant with CRU Group, a global independent advisory consultancy serving the mining and metals sector.

Also by Allan Trench: Top Resource Stocks 2007, 2008 and 2009 and Insider’s Guide to Investing in Australian Mining and Resource Stocks.

Trading Book Review: The New Commodity Trading Guide

The New Commodity Trading Guide

George Kleinman
RRP $44.95

Trading book review by Janene Murdoch from the Educated Investor Bookshop

Over the long term, commodities prices are expected to rise based on massive increases in global demand. But, as many investors have discovered the hard way, merely knowing this is not enough to make consistent profits.

Fundamental changes in the commodities markets have occurred that have implications most investors do not understand. For instance, century-old “open outcry” trading floors have now been replaced with computerised trading. In The New Commodity Trading Guide, commodities expert George Kleinman reveals the new practical realities of worldwide electronic commodities trading and specific strategies for capitalising on today’s radically different markets.

Kleinman shows how to leverage the one indicator that consistently drives commodity prices today, introduces the right ways to trade on news and profit from trends, reveals consistent seasonal price shifts that mean huge profits, shows which conventional strategies still work (and which don’t!). Finally, he introduces the Natural Number Method, a breakthrough approach that any commodities trader can use to supercharge performance!

*Capturing the 5000% return – what you can learn from one of history’s fastest price moves.

*“Breaking par”: how you can profit from market psychology and how to make profitable trades right after market barriers are shattered.

*The trend’s your friend – if you know how to use it!

*Discover the best times to go with the flow.

*Why markets behave differently at significant break points and how to use that knowledge to make big profits.

*What hasn’t changed and how you can profit from it.

*Two classic chart patterns that continue to work!
