Book Description

Choosing Stocks and Timing Buy and Sell Decisions: Trend-Based, Evidence-Driven Strategies That Work What to do, how and when to do it, and why Specific advice backed by modern statistical tests that identify consistently successful combinations of indicators Techniques for identifying early weaknesses, maximizing gains, and protecting capital By Charles D. Kirkpatrick II, the world’s most influential technical analyst There’s only one way to successfully compete with Wall Street’s “big boys”: use algorithmic systems, just like they do.

In this book, world-renowned technical analysis expert Charles D. Kirkpatrick II presents these systems and the evidence that supports them. Building on exhaustive research, Kirkpatrick shows why relative strength systems deliver consistent profits. Next, he drills down to identify the optimal elements of such systems, including lookback periods, ranks/ratios for portfolio changes, minimum trading volumes, and techniques for limiting the impact of market declines. Kirkpatrick’s final results are practical and robust. Based on easy-to-interpret ADX, forward line, and 3-bar reversal charts, they are easy enough for virtually any investor to use, with any size portfolio. At its foundation, technical analysis involves recognizing and analyzing trends and identifying the best investment strategy to take advantage of them. Most traders and investors who look for trends do so by analyzing a long list of charts on a continuing basis.

Kirkpatrick II presents tested, pinpoint approaches to stock investing that are far more effective and efficient. Drawing on statistical testing of markets from 1990 to the present, Kirkpatrick identifies combinations of technical tests that have consistently delivered the best performance.

Next, he identifies specific trend following indicators most likely to identify the first signs of trend reversals--and, thus, the right time to sell. Throughout, Kirkpatrick offers detailed, practical, and example-rich guidance for using these indicators, providing all the detail you need to implement an investment strategy that is both profitable and risk-averse.

Available in print and digital formats. Do price cycles come in waves? An objective look at the evidence–and what it means to investors. Trends don’t occur in a straight line. Prices oscillate up and down around a trend. These oscillations form trading ranges, patterns, and channels. Could these oscillations have some sort of regularity? Believing they do, cycle analysts look at prices as a form of complex harmonics or “waves.” Not surprisingly, the concept of prices oscillating in cycles is controversial...

Mastering Market Timing


Book Description

For generations, technical market analysts have relied on the Wyckoff method for understanding price/volume interactions--a breakthrough technique created by Richard D. Wyckoff, one of the most influential traders in stock market history. More recently, many technical analysts have also applied the Lowry Analysis, an exceptionally powerful approach to understanding the forces of supply and demand that are the starting point for all macro-analysis. Now, for the first time, two leaders at Lowry Research discuss how to combine these methods. Drawing on more than 45 years of experience as technical analysts, Richard A. Dickson and Tracy Knudsen introduce a uniquely powerful, objective, and quantifiable approach to applying traditional price/volume analysis. By understanding their techniques, investors can gain insights unavailable through other technical methodologies, and uncover subtle indications of emerging trend shifts before other methods can reveal them. Dickson and Knudsen explain each concept clearly and simply, presenting realistic examples. Mastering Market Timing is accessible to a wide range of investors and traders, including those without extensive technical analysis experience or high-level mathematical training.
