Timing Techniques for Commodity Futures Markets: Effective Strategy and Tactics for Short-Term and Long-Term Traders Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Timing Techniques by Colin Alexander is one of two books that have the most influence on my trading tactics. As a multiple time frame position trader, I use a confluence of indicators to identify a high probability low risk trade setup and execution in both stocks and commodities. He also shares indicator techniques that improves timing and lowers risk. I particularly appreciated his insights on the first round of spikes (2004 - 2006) in commodity's bull market and the pricing/indicator behaviors at those extremes. The entry/exit checklists was a nice addition to my plan and will help me avoid omissions in my analysis. With the advent of high-frequency computerized trading and the gradual disappearance of Pit-Traders, position trading will prove more profitable with less psychological pressure for Traders. I highly recommend this book and if you believe Bollinger Bands, MACD,STOCH and RSI are still viable tools especially when combined together then this is the book for you. And if you combine a multi-frame approach as I have, then purchase this book with Robert Miner's High Probability Trading Strategies. Both books are modern improvements on Philippe Cahen's Dynamic Technical Analysis.
