All Trading Books

Most trading systems and books focus on identifying trends in the marketplace. Yet futures markets trend only 15% of the time--remaining 85% of the time they are trendless and ``choppy''. Barnes unprecendented book on how to make money in all markets gives you 20 proven trading methods that will prepare you for virtually every trading situation. Sample methods and results include: Acceleration Principle (Silver) -46/54 trades profitable, average profit per trade 214; Boxed Size Breakout Contra Method (Gold) - 19/22 trades profitable, average profit per trade 437; Contra Price Volume Confirm Method (T-bonds) - 24/25 trades profitable, average profit per trade 585.

User Reviews about Trading in Choppy Markets: Breakthrough Techniques for Exploiting Non-Trending Markets

The previous review gave this book one star and used as a reason the mistaken statement that the author's win/loss ratio on simulated silver contracts was 46/54. For those of you who KNOW what these numbers mean (active traders, most likely) you know that this means 46 OUT OF 54 trades were profitable. In my book this turns out to be 85%. Try doing THAT with a coin-flip.

In my opinion Robert M. Barnes is one of the most insightful traders/authors in the business. His systems, analysis and technical know-how are matched by very few. This is yet another very succinct, well-written, and technically informed book by the author. Anyone interested in serious short-term, high-profit trading would do well to have this manual in their arsenal. -- Reader from New Jersey Mistaken....Badly
