‘A Practical
Guide to Indicators’ leads you through the selection and application of
technical analysis indicators and trading systems, with a bias towards
practical and useful information rather than theoretical depth. It describes
the most commonly used trend-following indicators, trend indicators,
oscillators and volume indicators. It also covers the backtesting and
optimization of indicators, and discusses DIY trading systems.
A crucial
element of successful trading is the correct buy/sell timing based on technical
analysis. However, this book also deals with other key subjects that are
equally important, like psychological factors and money management. In
addition, the pros and cons of various financial instruments – futures, options
and CFDs – are discussed.
The ultimate
goal is to arrive at a complete trading plan that can be applied with
discipline and confidence.
