Description of Trading With Charts for Absolute Returns

"Trading with Charts for Absolute Returns is not only a great continuation of Robert Fischer′s theoretical work on charting techniques, especially on Fibonacci strategies, but is a magnificent encyclopedia on technical analysis. Traders will recognize that the author is not only a brilliant theorist, but also a downright practitioner. This book is especially interesting for advanced traders, since he is providing numerous back–testing results of the presented strategies." —ANDY KLOSE, Head of Brokerage and CFO, trading–house.net AG

"Robert Fischer has dedicated his life to ′money making.′ It might be difficult to find anyone else with such depth of knowledge about technical analysis and trend–following models in particular. With this book, he presents his lifework—the essence of what he has observed and learned in the field of application–oriented analysis over the decades. This book is a treat for all traders who love to work with chart pattern recognition, and a treasure trove for active investors and traders who are looking for an absolute return strategy." —RALF VIELHABER, Publisher and CEO, Fuchsbriefe Dr. Hans Fuchs GmbH

You can′t eat relative returns. Yet that′s exactly what most brokerages and fund managers nowadays offer: a steady diet of benchmarked returns of a few points over one market index or another. Don′t be distracted by grandiose claims of "superior relative returns" and other marketing gimmicks. At the end of the day, performance is all that matters, and with the chart patterns provided in this book, you′ll get absolute returns, year in and year out, in trending sideways markets.

In Trading with Charts for Absolute Returns, Robert Fischer, an internationally renowned pioneer in trading strategies for Fibonacci price and time analysis, arms traders with a shortcut to achieving absolute returns, without intensive programming. Writing for experienced chart analysts and novices alike, he:

• Reveals key chart patterns that work best, both individually and in combination, in most market conditions

• Clearly explains the scientific principles undergirding the chart patterns and trading rules described

• Lays out an augmented futures strategy for bear markets

• Delivers a gold mine of more than 1,500 trading signals on the companion web site

• Includes free access to proprietary software
