Technical Analysis of the Future's Markets A Comprehensive Guide to Trading 1986

Description: ANALYSIS OF THE FUTURES MARKETS A Comprehensive Guide to Trading Methods and Applications by John J. Murphy ABOUT THE BOOK— Designed to meet the need for a logical, sequential reference on the subject, this book describes-for beginners and more experienced traders alike-the concepts of technical analysis and their applications. In a down-to-earth style, John J. Murphy interprets the role of technical forecasters and explains how they apply their techniques to the futures markets. The book starts with a discussion of the rationale for and premises of technical analysis. In demonstrating how to track market behavior, it illustrates the full gamut of methodologies-from the Dow Theory's first application, almost a century ago, to the latest computer technology. Building on the basic concepts of charting theory, the book shows how to construct daily bar and point-and-figure charts and demonstrates the uses of longer-range continuation charts in revealing trend and price patterns. You will gain an understanding of support and resistance, key reversal days, head-and-shoulder patterns, flag and pennant patterns, Elliott Wave theory, and the analysis of volume and open interest as indicators of trend changes. Moving averages and oscillators also are explained and illustrated. Cyclic theory, the chartist's valuable tool for factoring in the dimension of time in analyzing trends and patterns, permits the analyst to predict how the market is moving, how far it is likely to go, and when a move is likely to end.

HARPER, a Director at Scott & Stringfellow-is particularly relevant and timely. In addition to evaluating the more familiar forms of securities, it explains in detail the new retirement plans and trusts, option and commodity packages, zero coupon bonds, pass-throughs, the variety of mortgage-backed securities, and other instruments. Unlike many "how to" books, its basic premise is to help investors become better informed so that they can evaluate more intelligently the advice they get and make better investment decisions. In addition, it is an invaluable desk reference for CPAs, brokers, attorneys, and other professionals to remain current in some areas and to quickly gain a basic understanding of recent developments. 1986 544 pages ISBN 0-13-898008-X
