Fractal Trading

Händler und erfahrene Privatanleger kommen immer mehr zu dem Schluß, daß die traditionellen Prognosemethoden der fundamentalen oder technischen Analyse offenbar zu widersprüchlichen Ergebnissen kommen. Bei den fundamentalen Analysten geht der Markt eher schwach, bei den technischen Analysten geht er fester. Die Folge von solch gegensätzlichen Signalen ist, daß viele Händler und Anleger sich auf eine Kombination von wissenschaftlicher Theorie und Anlagepsychologie stützen. Bill Williams zeigt hier neue Perspektiven der Marktbeobachtung auf. Er kombiniert Elemente traditioneller technischer Chartmethoden mit Chaostheorie und Psychologie. Das Ergebnis ist ein komplexes, fünfdimensionales Handelsprogramm mit ausführlichen Erläuterungen und Beispielen zu Bereichen wie Fraktalanalyse, Oszillatoren und psychologischen Aspekten. (10/98)

Retail traders risking live capital in financial markets have an almost impossible task of not only analyzing potentially hundreds of charts and selecting those that have a higher-than-average probability of success, while also simultaneously managing risk and trying to avoid the many insidious biases that cause us to go with the investing "herd." Putting all of these pieces together and coming up with a unique edge-based system can take the average retail investor years of trial and error, yet most looking for "quick profits" give up before long, concluding that it's a hopeless cause. A small minority are able to see through the fog and create a repeatable edge. What if we're making this whole process harder than in needs to be? What if we can use principles that we already intuitively know and understand, and treat the analysis and trade design process in a similar fashion to the behavior of objects that we already understand and trust, like those found in nature? If so, perhaps we can shortcut years off of our development, and in doing so, simplify and solidify our approach. In Doc Severson's book, Fractal Energy Trading: Four Simple Rules to Profit In Any Market & Any Timeframe, he offers simple, fundamental principles that will have an impact on how you view markets and build trading systems, regardless of what or how often you trade. Fundamentally based on PRICE analysis in multiple timeframes, this system will first show you how to use larger timeframe charts to get on the right side of the major trend, and then show you how to use smaller timeframe charts to find a precise entry point. And did you know that financial markets have ENERGY? Markets are living organisms after all, and understanding how to evaluate the potential of movement through Fractal Energy analysis might give you the missing edge that you've been looking for in your trading. Throughout the book, Doc shows you how to relate these trading principles to things that you see every day in life, shortening your learning curve by melting down the process to four simple rules. The final section of the book shows how these principles can be put into play through various Futures and Options trades in various markets. These same principles can be applied to any financial market, be it Stocks, Options, Futures, Forex, Cryptocurrency, or even second derivatives like Futures Options.

Insights into a pattern-based method of trading that can increase the likelihood of profitable outcomes While most books on chart patterns, or pattern recognition, offer detailed discussion and analysis of one type of pattern, the fact is that a single pattern may not be very helpful for trading, since it often does not give a complete picture of the market. What sets Trading Between the Lines apart from other books in this area is author Elaine Knuth's identification of sets of patterns that give a complete analysis of the market. In it, she identifies more complex chart patterns, often several patterns combined over multiple time frames, and skillfully examines these sets of patterns called "constellations" in relation to one another. These constellations turn sets of individual patterns into a more manageable set of patterns, where the relationship between them can lead to tactical trading opportunities. Shows how to apply complex patterns to specific trades and identify opportunities as well entry and exit points Markets covered include commodities, equities, and indexes Presents an effective trading approach based on real market cycles-as opposed to computer simulations-that are found in active markets Moving beyond the simple identification of basic patterns to identifying pattern constellations, this reliable resource will give you a better view of what is really going on in the market and help you profit from the opportunities you uncover.
