Trading Book Review: Investing with Volume Analysis

Investing With Volume Analysis

Author: Buff Pelz Dormeier
RRP $49.95 Trader Dealer price $39.95

For all those traders who use volume as a tool in their trading analysis, then this is a must.

Clearly written by an expert in the field, this book looks at the basics of volume analysis and the pure volume indicators. It quickly moves into some more sophisticated aspects of volume analysis, including oscillators and indicators that are specifically relevant to volume analysis in patterns and trends.

Short term traders are not forgotten as Buff explains intraday volume accumulation oscillators.

Volume is a necessary tool in determining investors’ or traders conviction about prices and this book explains how to interpret these signals to recognise upcoming price reversals.

I was particularly pleased to read the chapter on the Volume Price Confirmation Indicator, because as with all traders using whatever system they have developed, confirmation is necessary before taking a position.

It is also pleasing to see the chapter on risk, because even though the reader may have read it all before, it reconfirms and highlights just how important this is.

The book finishes off with a chapter on modern day volume – yes things can and do change and it is great to see these changes noted.

This book gets my tick of approval.

Trading Book Review: Market Panic (2nd Edition) by Stephen Vines

Friday, August 26th, 2011

Market Panic 2nd Ed

Author: Stephen Vines
RRP $24.95
Trader Dealer Price: $20.00 (20% Discount)

Market Panic

Well it has been a wild ride over the last few weeks, but is the market really doing anything it hasn’t done before?

In Market Panic Stephen Viney looks at the types of panic, the panic cycles and the opportunities that present themselves during these times. Viney takes a very interesting look back through history, at the panics of 1929 and 1987 and is able to identify patterns of behaviour which are vital to understand how the markets really work. Recognising this herd mentality and not becoming a part of it allows you to seize opportunities in the market when others fear it.

Knowledge is empowering, so let this book give you some insights into the phenomenon of market panics and the possibility to recognise the warning signals that precede market crashes.

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: 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.

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: The New Sell and Sell Short

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: 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.”
