Synopsis

With the growing pressure to perform at a high level of efficiency, a successful trader must have a clearly defined strategy that encompasses trading methodology, money management, and psychology.
This comprehensive resource helps you develop a personal trading strategy that combines market analysis, money management skills, and psychology to obtain success for yourself and your clients in any type of market - futures, stocks, bonds, foreign exchange, and others.
This book is based on the author's popular classes at New York University and the New York Institute of Finance, and on his experience in trading in diverse markets for over 10 years. This Guide covers every aspect of the trading process: fundamental and technical analysis ... determining entry and exit points when trading ... analyzing risk and reward in trading ... understanding the psychology of trading ... and more.
Plus, the Guide contains over 200 graphs depicting everything from technical studies, inverted markets, options analysis, and risk and return.
No matter what trading question you might have, the Guide is right there with the answer. For example:
How does the risk of buying and selling options compare to outright purchase or sale of the underlying security or future? (Chapter 14).
What are some major weaknesses of the efficient market hypothesis? (Chapter 2).
How do political and economic situations affect trading risk? (Chapter 23).
What are the advantages and disadvantages of technical analysis? (Chapter 9).
How do you develop a proper mindset for trading? (Chapter 30).
What are the best ways to determine market volatility? (Chapter 17).
Why are some people successful in trading while others are not? (Chapter 29).
And much more!
