Integrated Technical Analysis

Integrated Technical Analysis Technical Analysis is usually learned as a series of unconnected and often conflicting techniques. In this groundbreaking book, Ian Copsey demonstrates how a combination of Elliott Wave, cycles and momentum analysis can be integrated to provide a set of signals leading to more powerful forecasts. Both private and professional investors can have difficulty in selecting and synthesizing various technical tools. Integrated Technical Analysis shows how different ideas can be integrated on multiple time frames to enhance the overall process and provide a more solid forecasting platform. The author's ideas have been developed over many years. Copsey's knowledge of the markets and his trading experience ensures that the book abounds with practical trading examples, numerous charts and a down-to-earth view of market activity. A must read for anyone looking to broaden their conceptual knowledge of the subject and to fine-tune their analysis of the market. "There is a real lack of easily accessible and practical books on using Elliott Wave Theory in combination with basic technical analysis. The essential concept of the book is a valuable contribution to the subject. It also fills a void, in that it deals at length with practical aspects." -Colin Nicholson President Australian Technical Analysts Association

A fresh approach to technical analysis utilizing a full view (multi-time frame) integrated analytical system. Has the bear market ended? Is the rebound lasting? Everybody wants an answer but nobody can provide one with a good degree of confidence. While fundamental analysis is notoriously weak when it comes to market timing decisions and price target forecasts, technical analysis is equally timid in providing any concrete answers to the above fundamentally important questions for market participants. No existing system has produced a firm answer with a respectable degree of conviction. This book will present a system to answer those questions with a high degree of confidence.

Overview : "A book on Technical Analysis written for the Investor Yes, it is possible to use technical analysis for investing, not just trading! Technical analysis has always been seen as a tool for short-term trading rather than investing. Through this book, the author will share with investors an original approach to technically define the trend for the various time frames - Daily, Weekly, Monthly and so on. The book will reveal the consistent relationship between the time frames. It explains which time frame dictates a market's behavior and shows how to invest better with the knowledge of the larger time frames. The book's second innovation is to help investors integrate technical trend, timing and price indicators for market entry and exit. This approach "integrates" signals from various technical tools rather than rely on signals from a single indicator, whether it be timing or price for entry and exit. This integrated approach has been effectively used by the author for investing for many years. Learn : • Time tested techniques to define a market's trend • To integrate trend, timing and time indicators for optimal market entry and exit in trending and non-trending market environments • About the two-way and three-way relationships between monthly, weekly and daily time frames • How to invest better with the knowledge of the relationship of multiple time frames of markets About the author BC Low (CMT) has been a teacher-cum-practitioner in Technical Analysis since the 1980s.
