Book Description
Praise for The Three Skills of Top Trading
"Professor Pruden's new book, The Three Skills of Top Trading, is
unquestionably the best book on a specific trading method and the necessary
attributes for trading that I have read. His logic, understanding of human
foibles, and use of the Wyckoff method of trading are broadly referenced,
readable, understandable, and entertaining."
- Charles D. Kirkpatrick, II, CMT, coauthor of
Technical Analysis: The Complete Resource for Financial Market Technicians,
Editor of the Journal of Technical Analysis, and board member of the Market
Technicians Association
The publisher said: This book, first
published in 1924, covers some methods evolved and adopted during the
author's 33 year career on Wall Street. Wyckoff sets down specific rules
to be followed in trading and investing operations with the idea that an
out-of-towner can succeed in Wall Street as an investor as long as one
depends on self-judgment rather than on that of any other person.

Few investors have made and lost fortunes to equal those of the legendary

of the 20th century. Enjoy this highly readable, entertaining chronicle of
one of history's boldest speculators. Written in 1923 by Edwin Lefevre,
this work is cleverly written as a narrative biography. Independent-minded
investors today will enjoy and even profit by Lefevre's shrewd, witty
book. His observations of human behavior and market trends... read

The publisher said: The Three Steps to Successful Stock
Trading. New 1970 edition of the classic about the mechanics of stock
trading with a recent forward by the author. Historically, the best
selling book on the subject, Neill tells not only how to read the tape, but also
how to reason out what's happening behind the scenes. Superb chapters on
human nature and speculation. Figures and charts. Originally
published in 1931.
"When everybody thinks alike,
Everyone is likely to be wrong."
The ten words quoted above are, according to Humphrey B. Neill, a potent
factor behind the economic booms and busts that blight our civilization.
"The Mississippi Bubble," Hollands incredible "Tulipmania,"
and the New York stock market crash in 1929 are historic examples of disasters
magnified and hastened by the pressure of mass opinion.
In exactly the opposite direction, in the years immediately following the
close of World War II, ominous popular forecasts of business recession turned
out to be wrong. What actually happened was-a business boom, not a business
bust!
The reason is no mystery to anyone versed in the contrary way of thought-the
practical application of the Neill Theory of Contrary Opinion. Today, this
Theory-which began as one man's quest for a way to solve the puzzles of economic
trends-has expanded enormously in both scope and significance.
In THE ART OF CONTRARY THINKING you will find the answer to a question
increasingly asked by persons of affairs and influence: Contrary Opinion-what is
it?. . .What will it do for me?
The publisher said: The
first and only professional guide that tackles the impermanence and built-in
obsolescence of most trading systems. This book carefully shows futures,
options, stocks, and bonds traders how to create a profitable campaign that
works for a specific financial instrument, under certain circumstances, for a
limited period of time. Then, instead of blindly staying with the system, the
user learns to redevelop and adapt it for the next set of financial
circumstances. Because the program is constantly adjusted to meet market
changes, obsolescence is avoided and the overall trading campaign remains fresh,
flexible, and even more profitable. Offers sound guidelines to implement
trending into any trading system.
The publisher said: Focusing
on price-forecasting in the commodity futures market, this is the most
comprehensive examination of fundamental and technical analysis available.
Treats both approaches in depth, with forecasting examined in conjunction with
practical trading considerations.
The publisher said:
The Futures Game, first published in 1974 and revised in 1987, has become the
classic in the field due to its objective description of the futures industry.
Since the second edition, many changes have occurred in the futures market.
Hundreds of new studies and research projects have shed new light on these
markets; regulatory changes have been dramatic; the emphasis has changed from
grains and meats to financial instruments, such as Treasury bonds, Eurodollars,
and foreign currencies; futures trading has become more international in scope;
and the computer and the Internet have become standard tools of the trade. The
3rd edition of The Futures Game will provide a complete update, with changes and
additions in almost every chapter to reflect the new developments in the futures
market (including an increased emphasis on international aspectects). Successful
Irwin Professional author Ben Warwick will write the revision with the close
cooperation and support of Richard Teweles and Frank Jones.
The publisher said: Trying
to trade stock, bond, commodity and currency markets without intermarket
awareness is like trying to drive a car without looking out the side and rear
windows--very dangerous. In this guide to intermarket analysis, the author uses
years of experience in technical analysis plus extensive charts to clearly
demonstrate the interrelationshps that exist among the various market sectors
and their importance. You'll learn how to use activity in surrounding markets in
the same way that most people employ traditional technical indicators for
directional clues. Shows the analyst how to focus outward, rather than inward,
to provide a more rational understanding of technical forces at work in the
marketplace.
The publisher said:
With Market Wizards and The New Market Wizards, two of the bestselling finance
titles of all time, Jack Schwager is one of the most important and visible
figures in the futures industry today. Now, in Managed Trading, the latest
volume in the Schwager on Futures series, he takes an in-depth look at the
increasingly prominent new asset class: managed futures, professionally managed
investments in commodity and financial futures markets. Due to their potentially
high returns and their diversification and inflation hedging potential, managed
futures have grown rapidly in popularity and acceptance in the past decade.
Today, there are over $25 million in managed futures accounts. Schwager's
full-scale examination covers all aspects of this investment sector,
encompassing performance evaluation, manager selection, investment timing, and
portfolio considerations. In the process, he explodes many commonly held
investment myths. Managed Trading is the most substantive book on the subject,
and an indispensable Schwager title no investor should be without.
This should be on every techie's bookshelf!
Much better than the info in those $195 "get rich quick"
mailings, for a lot less. If you are interested in learning technical
basics, at a bargain price, this is the place to start. You will find
yourself reviewing it over and over.
Book Description
Accurately anticipating stock prices and defining precise entry and exit
points is the dream of every investor. For decades, the Point and Figure
Method has been one of the most useful techniques for successfully
forecasting market prices and determining what action should be taken.
Victor de Villiers pioneered this method in his groundbreaking book The
Point & Figure Method of Anticipating Stock Price Movements, which
remains an accepted classic today. This cherished work...
- Details the construction of "P&F" charts
- Provides numerous pattern examples
- And offers suggestions on how to optimize them
Other modern-day works-most notably Tom Dorsey's Point & Figure
Charting-put "P&F" in the context today's investment climate,
offering improvements and applications to basic concepts. But, for a true
understanding of this method and the foundations on which it is based, de
Villiers' landmark work should be included in every investor's library.
