More than $2 trillion is traded in the foreign exchange every day, and many experts believe this figure will double in the next five years. Fortunately for spot currency traders, the high-volume periods in this market are predictably moved by information released from government and informational agencies, typically on Wednesdays and Fridays at 8:30 a.m. Knowing this gives the Forex trader tremendous analytical advantage, and in Forex Shockwave Analysis, veteran online spot currency trader James Bickford offers reliable techniques and know-how to capitalize on the violent disruptions that happen at these times. When a severe breakout up or down occurs in an otherwise well-behaved time series, it's called a shockwave, and Forex Shockwave Analysis offers unprecedented focus on identifying, analyzing, and categorizing this unique pattern in the foreign exchange market. It not only helps independent investors isolate and recognize recurring shockwave personality traits, but it also gives insight into the reactive phase immediately following the shockwave. Fundamental analysis is covered to provide complete coverage, but playing this market's action can be most highly profitable when the streaming data available today is used to reveal critical properties and characteristics about the underlying currency pair. This book equips you with the four most important methods of technical analysis: Pattern recognition Econometric models Crossover trading systems Wave theory Forex Shockwave Analysis is packed with practical information for mastering shockwave trading, including a refined minimum reversal algorithm that converts raw security data (OHLC quotes) to swing data, numerous charts and diagnoses based on activity, range, and interaction, as well as fifteen case studies demonstrating how covered material works in the real world. This highly visual book is also outstandingly designed to serve as a computer-side reference that equips you with eleven appendices filled with all the tools you need to gain a distinct advantage while working online in your currency trading platform. Shockwaves occur over the course of a few minutes, and with Forex Shockwave Analysis, you can effectively profit off them for a lifetime.

This book is another effort for me to introduce the scientific trading for the trading community in Forex and Stock market. In my previous five books, I provided the details on how technical analysis can predict the market in conjunction with fractal wave. However, I felt that I could expand this on other technical analysis outside Support, Resistance, Triangle Pattern, Fibonacci Analysis, Harmonic Pattern, Elliott Wave, and X3 Chart Pattern. Hence, I chosen the supply and demand analysis to accomplish this goal. My goal was to provide you more practical trading examples. So that you can learn how to make use of the fractal wave in practice for your trading. The idea behind the supply and demand analysis starts with understanding the supply and demand curve in Economics. However, you do not need the deep understanding of the supply demand curve and Economics to use this technique. Hence, this technical analysis is accessible by anyone. In fact, the supply and demand analysis shares some common attributes with the volume spread analysis (VSA) devised by Richard Wyckoff. For example, the supply and demand analysis uses the price pattern based on the key area in the price analysis. The supply and demand analysis is the simple and straightforward price pattern analysis. In addition, the demand supply zone can be used as the support resistance too. We demonstrate how to use the demand supply zone as the support resistance in this book. Supply and demand trading does not require any complicated technical indicators or math skills. However, it purely focuses on the price itself. As it is the effective tool for your trading, I believe that many people will love to have this technical analysis on their toolbox. My latest book tends to be easier to read as I put a lot of effort to find the simplest explanation as possible. This book is easy to read too. In addition to the supply and demand analysis, this book covers other technical analysis in brief. This will help you to compare the supply and demand analysis with other technical analysis. However, this does not mean that this book is comprehensive to explain all the technical analysis in details. If you are looking to explore other technical analysis in details outside the supply and demand analysis, then I will recommend reading my previous books. In the list below, I put the easy to read book on top. Try to read the easy to read book first and try to read the harder book later to improve your trading and investment. · Technical Analysis in Forex and Stock Market (Supply and Demand Analysis and Support Resistance) · Science Of Support, Resistance, Fibonacci Analysis, Harmonic Pattern, Elliott Wave and X3 Chart Pattern (In Forex and Stock Market Trading) · Profitable Chart Patterns in Forex and Stock Market (Fibonacci Analysis, Harmonic Pattern, Elliott Wave, and X3 Chart Pattern) · Guide to Precision Harmonic Pattern Trading (Mastering Turning Point Strategy for Financial Trading) · Scientific Guide to Price Action and Pattern Trading (Wisdom of Trend, Cycle, and Fractal Wave) · Predicting Forex and Stock Market with Fractal Pattern (Science of Price and Time)

Crowds move markets and at major market turning points, the crowds are almost always wrong. When crowd sentiment is overwhelmingly positive or overwhelmingly negative ? it's a signal that the trend is exhausted and the market is ready to move powerfully in the opposite direction. Sentiment has long been a tool used by equity, futures, and options traders. In Sentiment in the Forex Market, FXCM analyst Jaime Saettele applies sentiment analysis to the currency market, using both traditional and new sentiment indicators, including: Commitment of Traders reports; time cycles; pivot points; oscillators; and Fibonacci time and price ratios. He also explains how to interpret news coverage of the markets to get a sense of when participants have become overly bullish or bearish. Saettele points out that several famous traders such as George Soros and Robert Prechter made huge profits by identifying shifts in crowd sentiment at major market turning points. Many individual traders lose money in the currency market, Saettele asserts, because they are too short-term oriented and trade impulsively. He believes retail traders would be much more successful if they adopted a longer-term, contrarian approach, utilizing sentiment indicators to position themselves at the beginning points of major trends.
