In other words, you are likely to fall into one of two camps. You either believe it works, or you don't. There is no halfway house here! I make no bones about the fact that I believe I was lucky in starting my own trading journey using volume. To me it just made sense, and the logic of what it revealed was inescapable.
And for me, the most powerful reason is very simple. Volume is a rare commodity in trading - a leading indicator. The second, and only other leading indicator, is price. Everything else is lagged. As traders, investors or speculators, all we are trying to do is to forecast where the market is heading next.
Is there any better way than to use the only two leading indicators we have at our disposal, namely volume and price? In isolation each tells us very little. After all, volume is just that, no more no less. A price is a price. However, combine these two forces together, and the result is a powerful analytical approach to forecasting market direction..
However, as I say at the start of the book, there is nothing new in trading, and the analysis of volume has been around for over years. After all, this is where the iconic traders started.
All they had was the ticker tape, from which they read the price, and the number of shares traded. Volume price analysis, short and simple. The book has been written for traders who have never come across this methodology, and for those who have some knowledge, and perhaps wish to learn a little more. It is not revolutionary, or innovative, but just simple sound common sense, combined with logic.
In this book of over worked examples for stock traders and investors, you will discover an approach that was used by the iconic traders of the past to build their vast fortunes. Traders such as Jesse Livermore, Richard Wyckoff and Richard Ney all succeeded because they understood the power of the tape which delivered just two key pieces of information, namely volume and price, and from which they were able to anticipate where the market was going next.
This approach was also codified by Richard Wyckoff into three principle laws, and forms the basis of volume price analysis. It is a powerful methodology that can be applied to all markets, instruments and timeframes regardless of whether you are an investor, trader or speculator. The examples presented in this book are drawn primarily from US stock markets, but also includes examples taken from the futures markets, such as indices, commodities, currency futures and bonds.
Each chart example is fully annotated to illustrate and highlight key points in the associated text, and together provide a detailed and comprehensive study of the volume price relationship, and giving clear signals as to where the stock is going next. And regardless of whether you are selecting stocks for growth, dividend yield, option strategies, or for speculative day trading, volume price analysis will highlight which ones to buy or sell, and when. Binary options - is is betting or trading?

There are many traps for the unwary, but there are also some solid gold nuggets, if you know where to look. Are Binary Options For Me? This is the question I hope will be answered for you in this book. In writing it, I have tried to provide a complete introduction to the subject, with practical examples of how to approach these innovative instruments. Every aspect of this market is explained - both the good and the bad. Nothing is left unsaid. Binary options have much to offer, and used with common sense and thought, are perfectly valid trading instruments.
Applied unthinkingly, they become like any other instrument - a quick way to lose money fast. Binary Options Unmasked reveals the true characteristics of this market. It covers the current market participants, along with their product offering. Moreover, not only are binary options explained in detail, but their application as a trading instrument is also illustrated.

No other market has the power to create strong and diverse opinions than the brave new world of cryptocurrencies.
On one side lie the detractors convinced this is nothing more than a bubble and one which will burst in the fullness of time. On the other are the supporters, championing these new and exciting financial instruments created to replace traditional currencies, and so usher in a new and transparent order finally free from the shackles of central banks and government controls.
And what is perhaps more interesting still, is that this new digital asset class also defines and reflects a seismic shift in the social order and values. For it is the tech savvy young who perhaps have been the most affected by the great financial crisis of , and so see cryptocurrencies as the way ahead, offering hope and opportunity, not only to make money, but also to cast out the old values and approaches and replace them with new technologically sophisticated assets.
In some ways cryptocurrencies have become a standard bearer for the new to replace the old, and offering a clarion call to reject the past and replace it with the new of the future.
In this book, I do not take sides because the purpose of this book is to twofold. First, to explain these new digital assets their strengths, weaknesses as well as the opportunities. And second to explain, with the use of over eighty annotated chart examples, how you can apply my volume price methodology to your own trading and investing decisions.
Here is a methodology that will help you make sense of the sometimes chaotic and volatile price action, based as it is on sound principles developed in other markets.
Volume price analysis works, and all that's required is a chart with volume and price, and is a perfect fit here, given prices are primarily driven by supply and demand.
Peer to peer buying and selling is what lies at the heart of cryptocurrencies and so creates the demand or lack of demand. Yes, there is some market manipulation, and this may increase over time. But for the present the cryptocurrency markets reflect Wyckoff's third law: 'when demand is greater than supply, prices rise, and when supply is greater than demand, prices fall'. The 80 worked examples are in all timeframes and for different cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ripple, Ethereum, Dash, Tether and more.
Each chart is clearly annotated with an accompanying explanation of the chart with points to note and lessons to learn. Volume price analysis can be applied to any timeframe and to any cryptocurrency asset. The choice is yours, and using this simple yet powerful approach will give you renewed insight and confidence when making your buying and selling decisions, whether as a longer term investor, or a speculative trader.
Regardless of whether you believe cryptocurrencies are a short term phenomenon, or you subscribe to the view this is a brave new financial dawn full of exciting opportunities, we can be assured of one thing, they are here to stay. They may not be in their present iteration, and evolve in ways yet to be discovered, but there will always be a price chart to which volume price analysis can be applied.

The foreign-exchange market is often referred to as the Slaughterhouse where novice traders go to get 'chopped up'. It is one of egos and money, where millions of dollars are won and lost every day and phones are routinely thrown across hectic trading desks. This palpable excitement has led to the explosion of the retail FX market, which has unfortunately spawned a new breed of authors and gurus more than happy to provide misleading and often downright fraudulent information by promising traders riches while making forex trading 'easy'.
Well I'll let you in on a little secret: there is nothing easy about trading currencies. What's wrong with these guys, don't they read FX books? In reality, the average client's trading approach combined with the unscrupulous practices of some brokers make spot FX trading more akin to the games found on the Vegas strip than to anything seen on Wall St. The FX market is littered with the remains of day traders and genius 'systems,' and to survive in the long-run traders have to realize that they are playing a game where the cards are clearly stacked against them.

Read on to uncover the main drivers that influence the exchange rates. The number of economic announcements made each day from around the world can be intimidating, so we will focus just on the most important ones. How are they divided The drivers are divided into three major groups: Geo-political, Economic and Market Psychology.

This world keep them flat or lower. Section 02 Key drivers of currency movements Key indicators A closer look at some indicators Stock market Even day and swing traders will find it valuable to keep up with incoming economic reports from the conditions major economies.
Stock markets have a significant impact on exchange rate movements because they are a major place for high-volume currency movements. When foreign investors There are times where sentiment in the equity move their money to a markets will be the precursor to major moves in the forex market. If the stock equity market is particular stock equity rising, investment dollars generally come in to seize the opportunity.

When they elect to do so, it results in the outflow of capital experiencing recessions, from the United States and the inflow of capital however, foreign into the United Kingdom. Section 02 Key drivers of currency movements Key indicators The most overrated indicator GDP is no longer a big deal GDP report has also become one of least important economic indicators on the U.
One possible explanation is that GDP is released less frequently than other data in our study it comes out quarterly versus monthly , but in general, the GDP report is more prone to ambiguity and misinterpretation. Also, a large number of the components that comprise the GDP report are known in advance of the release.
Section 02 Key drivers of currency movements Most volatile news reports That traders should follow closely Volatility and profits in forex are measured in pips. The bigger the volatility the more pips and money a trader can make from a certain trade. Keep this chart by your side and make sure to mark these reports in your calendar!
Unemployment indicator, showing if U. Inflation indicator. Economic indicators are snippets of financial and economic data published regularly by governmental agencies and the private sector. These statistics help market observers monitor the economy's pulse - so it's no surprise that they're followed by almost everyone in the financial markets. With so many people poised to react to the same information, economic indicators have tremendous potential to generate volume and move prices.
It might seem like you need an advanced economics degree to parse all this data accurately - but in fact traders need only keep a few simple guidelines in mind when making trading decisions based on this data.
Mark Your Economic Calendars Watching the economic calendar not only helps you consider trades around these events, it helps explain otherwise unanticipated price actions during those periods.
Consider this scenario: it's Monday morning and the USD has been falling for 3 weeks, with many traders short USD positions as a result. On Friday, however, U. If that report looks promising, traders may start unwinding their short positions before Friday, leading to a short-term rally in USD through the week. Know exactly when each economic indicator will be released.
What does This Data Mean for the Economy? You need not understand every nuance of each data release, but you should try to grasp key, large-scale relationships between reports and what they measure in the economy. For example, you should know which indicators measure the economy's growth gross domestic product, or GDP versus those that measure inflation PPI, CPI or employment strength non-farm payrolls.
That focus can change over time and from one currency to another. For example, if prices inflation are not a crucial issue for a given country, but its economic growth is problematic, traders may pay less attention to inflation data and focus on employment data or GDP reports. Section 02 Key drivers of currency movements Economic indicators What you need to know about them Part 2 Watch for the Unexpected Often the data itself may not be as important as whether or not it falls within market expectations.
At the same time, be careful of pulling the trigger too quickly when an indicator falls outside expectations. Each new economic indicator release contains revisions to previously released data.
Don't Get Caught Up in Details While your macroeconomics professor may appreciate all the nuances of an economic report, traders need to filter data to focus on the numbers that can inform their trading decisions. For example, many new traders watch the headlines of the employment report, for example, assuming that new jobs are key to economic growth.
That may be true generally, but in trading terms non-farm payroll is the figure traders watch most closely and therefore has the biggest impact on markets. Similarly, PPI measures changes in producer prices generally - but traders tend to watch PPI excluding food and energy as a market driver. Food and energy data tend to be much too volatile and subject to revisions to provide an accurate reading on producer price changes. There are Two Sides to Every Trade Just remember that no trader's knowledge can be complete all the time.
You might have a great handle on economic data published in Europe - but there are times when data published in the U. Doing your homework before trading any currency can help you make better decisions. Imagine that last month the unemployment rate was at 8. With a consensus at 9. What the heck! This is because the big players have already adjusted their positions way before the news report even came out and may now be taking profits after the run up to the news event.
The market players thought the unemployment rate would rise to 9. This would also happen if the actual report released an unemployment rate of Since the market consensus was 9. The Super Tuesday results are being seen as "an outcome for continuity over the disruption threatened by Trump and Sanders," he said. You must remember that investors hate uncertainty!
For Trump the upward trend was also there due to his promise to lower taxes and increase government spending on infrastrucure. Section 02 Key drivers of currency movements Market psychology The golden rule of economic indicators The currency rates often start moving even before the actual data comes out due to forecasts and market sentiment! Sentiment analysis is a kind of FX analysis that concentrates on indicating and consequently measuring the overall psychological and emotional state of all participants of the foreign exchange market.
This kind of Forex analysis strives to quantify what percentage of FX market participants are bullish or bearish, in other words being optimistic or pessimistic. If the forecast promised a positive growth and the actual data comes out even better than forecasted, it amplifies the rise of the currency even more.
Overlap between two The Foreign Exchange market operates 24 hours a day, making it nearly impossible sessions for a single trader to track every market Generally, whenever there is an overlap in movement and respond immediately at the market e.
In period. News Release market hours. Fundamentals drive the market. During News Release, volatility is experienced and Besides liquidity, a currency pair's trading some pairs could move over pips range is also heavily dependent on depending on the type of news.
For example geographical location and macroeconomic Non-Farm Payroll is the most volatile news factors. Knowing what time of day a currency pair However, trading news is risky if you are not has the highest or narrowest trading knowledgeable about it.
