    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.

    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.

    Trading Book Review: Exploding The Myths

    Friday, October 8th, 2010

    Exploding The Myths

    Author: Frank Watkins
    RRP $34.95

    Trading to win in bull and bear markets

    Trading book review by Janene Murdoch from the Educator Investor Bookshop

    With this book you will discover how to:

    - Avoid the costly mistakes that newcomers make
    - Find the best buy signals
    - Insure your investment
    - Predict a profitable trade
    - Avoid endless research
    - Learn day trading deterrents
    - Learn the folly of fundamentals

    Exploding The Myths questions some market adages that the author believes have helped keep the industry rich and the investor poor.

    “To suggest that time in the market is more important than timing the market may suit a fund manager but it will not help a small investor. Likewise diversification has nothing to do with making a profit, it is all about avoiding risk.”

    This book explodes some of the myths that surround the share market and points out the traps and pitfalls of which unwary newcomers fall prey. Frank Watkins has a very clear message when it comes to investing your hard earned capital. “By investing visually you can get your timing right – buy stocks that are rising and make constant profit regardless of market conditions.”

    Frank has a very simple philosophy – buy stocks that are rising, use strict money management and risk management rules and the profits will flow during any market conditions.

    This book will change the way you think!
