Re: Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets. Great book for any new trader

How about "Stock Market Pedogoguery for Fun and Profit"

Oooo yeah! I'll be able to charge at least $50 more than Murphy with a title like that

True

But I need the answer for my new book I'm writing - "Stock Market Pedogoguery"

Like the title, to expand it a little:-

"The pendantic education method to avoiding pergatory while speculating on the stockmarket."

Re: Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets. Great book for any new trader

Interesting point.

I've had the same idea bouncing around, what is the difference according to the author?

Hi Wayne (aka Dr Options- you may need to brand yourself like this this to sell your course)

I've been interested in this issue (technician or chartist), pops up in other fields of study too- perhaps the former is seen to be rigid and 'scientific' (confined by strict rules and theories?) while the other has a creative aspect and could truly to said to involve an artistic or intuitive element which accommodates inspiration and 'gut feel'. Not sure if Murphy takes the same view.

Perhaps we are brushing against parts of the mechanical vs discretionary debate??

Some titles for future book writers:

"Options -the Opus Dei way"

"Trendlines, trees and trains - amazing similarities of nature"

"The science of the moving average - for investors with time to spare"

"The art of stock forum justification - an essential guide for proving oneself to the masses"

"Stock market egos - a study into human nature"

I am bored.......

All I am trying to do is tell you about a good book were you get it from what price u pay is up to each of u so just look at it if you want to and if u like it get it.

Thats it!
Peace out

The price you pay is definitely up to you, maybe a little like putting your orders in at limit as opposed to putting them in at market. You'd have to be a little bit silly to pay more than you have to, though!

Borders is a great book shop! But if you're after books about investing/trading or finance or anything else to do with making money, including real estate, you simply cannot go past the ASF bookshop. I've said this before, and I'll probably say it again... I've compared the price of books in many places, and simply cannot find any cheaper titles than those in the ASF bookshop.

I sometimes wander into Borders (when I'm in the big smoke), or my local Dymocks or Angus & Robertson to check out the new titles available as it's a good opportunity to flick through them and get a feel for the content. But I've given up wasting my money by paying more than I have to, so I come home and order them online.

On most titles, you'll save the $6.50 postage and handling charge and then some. And that charge remains the same, whether you buy one book, or 20 (and I know that for a fact; the order before my last was for 20). If you do order more than 1 title and they don't have everything in stock at the time of your order, they'll send out what they have immediately and then send on the rest as they arrive from the publishers. They send out "overnight" on Australian Air Express and package the books extremely well.

If you haven't checked out the ASF bookshop, go have a browse! You might be surprised at the scope and breadth of titles available and books aren't all they sell either. There's a great range of multimedia training materials and more software than you'd ever need. They offer trial versions of lots of software, and with many books you'll get reviews and reader comments; some even offer sample chapters.

I don't work for, nor am affiliated with the ASF bookshop or Moneybags, except in the capacity of an extremely satisfied customer.

While we're on the topic of great books for any new investor... try Dr. Van K. Tharp's Trade Your Way to Financial Freedom. It's now in its second edition, published this year. I'd consider it one of the "bibles" of trading and essential reading for any new trader.

Van Tharp really did nothing for me read trade your way to $$ freedom. Have it in my shelf it's up sale if any wants it as I will never read it again.

He should write a book called, do exactly the reverse of what I did to become a successful trader.

No offense Tharp groupies but if u never master it how can u be a expert at it?

It's a good question isn't it? Maybe you can ask this guy?

He seems to be doing alright, considering he's never played cricket at Test level.

LOL good stuff ASX,

But that dose not change my opinion mate

I prefer to focus and learn from the legands Livermore, Gann, Wyckoff to name a couple.


good trading

I couldn't care less about your opinion Trade_it, unless you were monologuing you asked a question, I gave you an answer that included an example (the best kind). So the book didn't strike a chord for you. You should try critiquing the book instead of the man. People who critique the person over the ideas often do so because they lack the ability to discern whether the ideas have merit.

Good luck doing the opposite of what Van Tharp recommends and becoming a successful trader...you'll be fading common sense IMO. It could work

Well, each to his own i guess.
I got a great deal out of Van Tharp's book. I recommend it to anybody i know wanting to start trading.

Not wishing to get into a bum fight with you guys, after reading Van Tharps book multiple times I totally agree with Trade It. Van Tharp has failed miserably as trader in the past, just like Jack Sshwagger did.

I beleive trading is journey into self discovery and one has to develop the right mindset. As such a mentor(a trader who knows his craft well and has much experience in markets) can save much time in the school of hard knocks. Douglas's book "Trading The Zone" I found more useful for the type of trading I do.

There were some quite useful chapters in Van Tharps book, especially re position sizing, which got me interested into looking into this more deeply a few yesrs ago, but overall I have no interest in it.

But if you are a mechanical guy and interested in that type of approach then you may beg to differ.
