Description of New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems
New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems presents six original and definitive technical trading systems plus the renowned Relative Strength Index which is charted daily for each market by most chart services in the US.
The book is based on the premise that no single technical trading system makes consistent profits in both strong directional markets and non-directional congestion markets. The answer presented in this book is the Directional Movement Index which measures on a scale of 0 and 100 how much a particular market is trending. The Directional Movement system defines the equilibrium point and keeps the trades in the direction of the trend.
The concepts of Directional Movement, Volatility, Momentum, Relative Strength and Commodity Selection are defined and explained. The concepts are then expanded with reason and logic into basic definitive trading systems which give exact entry and exit points for trading the markets.
Fully illustrated with how-to diagrams and charts, this book will be an invaluable asset to any market trader.
'The premier technical trader publishing his work today. For those of you who have seen all the conventional systems, this book is the place to start.'
