Understanding Momentum in Investment Technical Analysis by Michael C. Thomsett Pdf

This book explains and demonstrates the concept of momentum in chart analysis, which is of great interest to technical analysts. It includes complete explanations of overbought and oversold, where momentum fits in the broader science of technical analysis, and the importance of moving average crossover. Five major momentum oscillators are explained in depth: relative strength index, MACD, rate of change, stochastics, and Bollinger Bands. Finally, the book provides trading guidance based on momentum, involving coordination of oscillators with other indicators, reversal, and continuation signals. Momentum powerfully identifies the strength and speed of price movement. Through the use of index calculations, momentum is effective when used as a confirming indicator for other signals found in price, volume, or moving averages. Often overlooked by traders focused solely on price reversals or continuation signals, momentum provides a context to price behavior and to the price trend, and can vastly improves the timing of both entry and exit of trades.

Big Trends In Trading by Price Headley Pdf

Arms traders and sophisticated individual investors with the tools they need to play the markets successfully Many traders believe that they must perform at least one trade every day, no matter what. However, as expert Price Headley clearly demonstrates in this groundbreaking book, not only is that assumption false, it can also be dangerous. He shows why focusing too narrowly on the daily ebb and flow of the markets minimizes a trader's chances for the big returns. He explains why maximum results are achieved by identifying the big market trends and riding them for all their worth. Headley explores the major market indicators-including the popular CBOE Volatility Index, Nasdaq 100, Rydex Mutual Fund Flows, and Equity Put/Call Ratio-and shows readers how to use them to identify the stocks that are about to take off. Emphasizing the aggressive use of options, he also empowers investors with stock selection techniques and options strategies that work in virtually every type of market.

An Orphan's Chronicle by William Blau Pdf

Few Americans living today have experienced and survived the ravages of the Great Depression, World War II, and all the "isms" in between: anti-Semitism, fascism, McCarthyism. Bill Blau, who found his secure middle class life abruptly coming to an end at age 12 during the Great Depression in 1937, did. He then faced life without a father, and was sent to an orphan home, far from his roots in Gary, Indiana. This is a chronicle of a young boy's struggle to make sense of his world and deal with the challenges of those chaotic times. Circumstances taught him that the unexamined life was not worth living. Following his Air Corps service in WW II he pursued a variety of educational, political, and work experiences. His politics, his loves, losses, and learning processes are all part of this story. What led him from the orphan home to a University of Chicago graduate degree; and to pursue classic great books at an early age? From the giant Carnegie-Illinois steel mills of Gary to the boardrooms of America's prestigious corporations, and the United Nations as a marketing consultant, Bill has experienced a life of diverse experience, whilst never forgetting whence he came.
