Trading Vehicles, Stock, ETFs, Futures, and Forex 13

various methods to trade those investment vehicles through the use of real
estate investment trust (REIT) mutual funds, exchange traded funds
(ETFs), and other derivatives products, like single stock futures, stock
index futures, and options. There are simple and complex strategies even
more so with the use of options and inter- and intramarket spreading or pair
trading opportunities. We will cover some sophisticated strategies in this
book as well as basic investment strategies to help you create your own re-
tirement fund.

HABITUAL WINNERS FOLLOW TRADING PLANS

Traders need to consider new techniques that will allow for increased prof-
itability and ways to reduce risks. This book will demonstrate how you can
identify conditional changes in the markets and how you can utilize my
techniques in certain setups and triggers based on an approach to using
candle charts and pivot point analysis that may be different from what you
have encountered before.
You will learn which leading price indicators are the best to use, plus
professional chart-reading techniques and how to apply this knowledge to
make trading decisions based on facts rather than on opinions. You would
be surprised at how many times I am asked what my “feeling” is on the mar-
ket. I can feel upset, I can feel warm, I can feel cold; but I just can’t feel the
market. I can see the price action and can act on a shift in the momentum,
and I can determine that the market is currently in an uptrend or a down-
trend or in a consolidation phase. I certainly can’t feel the market.
I want to walk you through some top chart patterns or setups and trig-
gers so that you can develop a trading plan based on a testable trading sys-
tem. This will be a method with a complete set of rules that do not
arbitrarily change. You will be able to use these concepts in many different
markets and in different time frames. This book will go into more specific
rules and explanations of setups and triggers than my first book did. Not
only was that first project, The Complete Guide to Technical Trading Tac-
tics: How to Profit Using Pivot Points, Candlesticks, & Other Indicators,
a great introductory book that touched on several trading concepts, but it
was the first work that introduced traders to the concept of integrating
candlestick charting with pivot point analysis. Some of the principles in
that first project will be used here, but this book will cover in greater de-
tail how to apply and use those methods so you can learn to make money
with the triggers. I would suggest that you get that book if you have not al-
ready done so, as there are many great tips and suggestions described in
those pages.
