Description of The Investor's Guide To Technical Analysis

What drives share movements? How do trends develop? How can you predict them for financial gain? Welcome to the art of technical analysis. The key to successful investment in the stock market can rest as much in the timing of the decision to buy or sell a share as in the selection of that share in the first place.

Technical analysis is the analysis of price behaviour in financial markets, as against the valuation of the underlying assets which that price represents. The Investor's Guide to Technical Analysis gives you the techniques you need to predict the right times to buy and sell the right shares. These techniques have long been available to institutional investors. This book will place them in your hands.

The Investor's Guide to Technical Analysis examines:

- How to time investment decisions with confidence

- How to understand why share prices move

- The analysis of price trends

- Monitoring investment performance

- The technical terminology and how to understand it

- The great theories: a synopsis of Dow, Elliott and Gann

It is the complete guide to how you can develop the analyst's skills and make timely predictions to maximise gain and minimise loss.
