The financial markets are made up of people from very diverse backgrounds but whether by long or short term investment these market participants all have a desire to win by varying degrees. Many market participants, especially short term traders are often too interested in the release of some fundamental statement or some rumor or the latest bank recommendations than in the trading price of the asset which leads them to trade and fail because of emotions based trading. The daily price movements, the patterns, the volatility that appear on charts, are for whatever reason, the results of the actions of the crowd. To avoid making decisions based on heightened emotions, it is necessary to create your own plan based on your own analysis.

This book has been developed to demonstrate how a few relatively straight forward techniques can create a plan that does not rely on outside investment recommendations and therefore takes the emotions out of trading. The book demonstrates how to interpret the market price action in the shape of forms or patterns and Japanese candlesticks to help you:

• Find markets that are changing from bullish to bearish and from bearish to bullish
• Locate entry and exit points
• Monitor the position for signs of change.

The book provides a series of charting techniques involving the use of candlesticks as graphical representations of market price actions in the Foreign Exchange markets. It presents methods of chart technical analysis for medium to long-term investing, in a market where despite strong returns when compared with other asset types, it is difficult to realize a profitable return.

The title does not dwell on already-known ‘signals’ represented by candlestick formations, but concentrates instead on how to confirm these signals by applying a variety of confirmation techniques which form a step-by-step process through the chapters of the book to finish by ‘Putting It All Together’.

In addressing you on the subject of investing your surplus funds, I might state that there is no other subject which I could select that so closely concerns your welfare and regarding which you might receive valuable assistance from my instructions. In the United States a stupendous sum, reaching into millions of dollars, is wasted annually in foolish speculations and unwise investments. This senseless waste can be traced to one and only one source, namely, lack of knowledge. Men and women who would not attempt to treat the slightest ailment, or even adjust so common a thing as a kitchen faucet, but would hand each difficulty over to its respective specialist, the doctor or the plumber, will on the spur of the moment and without the slightest preparation, undertake the investment of thousands of dollars in enterprises about which they understand absolutely nothing. Is it any wonder then that they lose? I offer you suggestions and advice in the science of speculation and investment in the same spirit as the physician. He would not think of guaranteeing you perpetual life or insuring you against the common ills to which the flesh is heir. But in your difficulties he brings to your aid the accumulated experience of his profession, and a skill and knowledge which required years to accumulate and is ready for your instant use. I do not offer you a beautiful theory which will not work in practice, but give you invaluable advice, which if followed, will insure success in practical everyday Wall Street speculations and other fields of investment. It has been well said that a writer who writes first for remuneration and secondly because he believes what he writes, will never achieve enduring fame, and that the salesman who does not believe in his goods will never make a success. I believe in the theory and rules that I have laid down in this book for you to follow, because I have tested and proved them. It is my object in this work to facilitate and focalize the essential principles for practical use. My knowledge comes from over twenty years’ experience, in which I have traversed the rough and rugged road that the inexperienced trader’s foot must press before he reaches the goal. Hence my object in writing this book is to give to the public something new and practical, not theory alone which would fail in practice. Read this book carefully several times; study each chart and subject thoroughly, and a new light and knowledge will come to you every time you read it. If I succeed in teaching only a few to leave wild gambling alone and follow the path of conservative speculation and investment, my work will not have been in vain and I will have been amply repaid for my efforts.

This is not your average book on technical analysis. Why? Because the author is not your average technical analyst; Brian Marber is unique and so, as a result, is this book. Here, Marber sets out to write about his approach, in a language readers can understand and enjoy, telling them why he does what he does, and how he came to do it, including details of market pitfalls and the occasional Marber pratfall. The book does not claim to be comprehensive, but instead aims to be honest and to present the reader with the techniques and indicators that Marber himself uses, and has used successfully in his fifty-one years in the business. Although when you make money you can learn something about making it, you learn far more by losing it, then finding out how to stop doing so.This book tells you his methods; when positions have gone wrong, and what you do about it. Technical analysis is about running profits and, by using technically-oriented stops, cutting losses – not when it hurts but when, from a technical point of view, the position you’re in becomes untenable. Following a Rothschild maxim that “tops and bottoms are for fools”, Marber would also add “and for liars”. He describes technical analysis as exactly like huntin’, shootin’, and fishin’: what’s being hunted are trends, never shooting for a top nor fishing for a bottom. But before any of that you need to learn about price. Using the same approach that he used when he taught at the International Management Institute, Geneva, he begins with price, then what price leads to: trends, support and resistance, patterns, indicators and ratios. When that has been absorbed, he moves on to stops.Marber also shares with the reader his vast wealth of experience of his time in the business – showing you the nitty-gritty, technical analysis in real-time, warts and all, and including reports on the FTSE, gold, oil and the dollar. This book is a must-read for anyone who really wants to understand the markets, delivered in Marber’s distinctive and unique voice.

Charting The Stock Market: The Wyckoff Method, takes a modern look at a seminal way to use technical analysis: the Wyckoff method. Charting The Stock Market presents and explains how to use the Wyckoff method for investing and trading in stocks, bonds, and commodities. This method was first documented by Richard D. Wyckoff (a trader and market forecaster who started in the business in 1888 as a 15-year-old stock runner) and published in the 1930s. Charting The Stock Market applies these classic and time-honored principles to today’s market.

Back to the basics: The Wyckoff method principally uses price charting and volume studies as a means of  analyzing and forecasting the stock market. It incorporates a common-sense approach to trading that emphasizes study, practice and risk limitation. It also takes into account investor psychology and provides insight into how and why professional traders buy and sell issues. Charting The Stock Market takes the reader step by step through the Wyckoff method: first, the basic principles; second, examples of the method applied to the bond market; and third, an outline of steps to put the method to use. Details of the Wyckoff method covered in this book include:    * point and figure charting  * trends  * price and volume studies on vertical charts  * stop orders  * forecasting  * wave charts & intraday  * group stock behavior  * stock selection criteria, and much more …
