Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have purchased numerous books on Stock Trading and for the first time felt compelled to write a book review because this book is simply that good. I first read about Tim Ord in Fari Hamzei's highly acclaimed book "Master Traders." Tim Ord is nationally rated as a top Market Timer and to be one of the Traders featured in " Master Traders" tells you something about his credentials.
Tim Ord's book, "The Secret Science of Price and Volume," analyzes what really drives equity prices, which is Supply and Demand. His unique methodology of Price and Volume analysis: " Ord Volume", evaluates what is moving equity prices at all junctures of their Price Swings, Legs and Price Points. He also uses these methods to evaluate Tops and Bottoms of Price structure and applies them to the major indices as well. Price and volume relationships have been in existence for over a hundred years and will continue to do so. The author presents disciplined trading and investing strategies based on time tested principles that will continue to work because fear, greed and human behavior will always be present in the marketplace.
Trading legends such as Richard Wyckoff, Jesse Livermore, Nicolas Darvas and William O'Neil to name a few all have utilized Price and Volume techniques to help amass their fortunes. Livermore's and O'Neil's "Price pivots points," Wyckoff's "Jumping the Creek," and "Falling through Ice" methodologies are Price and Volume based. William O'Neil's, "Follow Through Day," in the General Market Averages which show when Institutions are coming in to buy stock at long term or intermediate term lows is also related to these principles. The author explains the physics of this science and will teach you exactly how to interpret price and volume action in a manner which nobody else has shown before. In fact Ord Volume will help reveal when Institutions are either piling into stock or whether they are gradually accumulating it as well as when they are dumping or slowly supplying stock to the general public. Knowing this information is invaluable to both trader and investor.
These methods by no means are limited only to the technically oriented investor or trader. Fundamental and Value investors will also benefit by interpreting whether or not the forces of supply and demand are working in or out of favor with the particular group of stocks they follow.
The author also brilliantly covers topics such as Stock selection, Market Timing, Sector Analysis, Sector Rotation, Breadth analysis, Market Sentiment and much more. An informative chapter on the Gold sector is also included. This book is a Treasure chest. Whether you are a Long Term Investor, Intermediate-term Trader, Swing Trader or have a preference to sell stock short, "The Secret Science of Price and Volume," will provide you with a road map to profitability.
