Description of Rocket Science for Traders

A Revolutionary Way to Trade

"John Ehlers, ′master of cycles, ′delivers more than just the definitive work on cycle analysis and adaptive techniques; he raises financial mathematics to a higher level. The book solves the problem of identifying sideways and trending markets, and teaches how to minimize lag. For nonmathematicians, Ehlers provides clear chapter summaries and fully programmed systems that make this book a prize."–Perry J. Kaufman, President of Strategic Market Systems, Author of Trading Systems and Methods

"John Ehlers combines innovative insights into price behavior with a powerful, concrete approach to trading. The result is a unique blend of high theory and hands–on, practical trading systems and methods."–Nelson Freeburg, Editor of Formula Research

"John Ehlers has made more original, analytically sound contributions to the study of technical analysis than anyone except Art Merrill. This volume caps years of development and makes available to traders successful techniques they would have little chance of creating on their own. I recommend it to all advanced traders without hesitation." –John Sweeney, Editor of Technical Analysis of Stocks & Commodities magazine

"John Ehlers has been a regular standout in trading system rankings for many years. Now we know why! Rocket Science for Traders is a true tour de force!"–David Brown, retired CEO of Telescan
