With the use of a personal computer and a charting program Zahorchak's multiple moving average system provides precise buy and sell signals. Here is the key. Each upward moving average crossover alerts a chartist that a stock is on a path towards a bull market. Conversely, a succession of downside intersections warns an issue is slowly turning sour and sliding into a bear phase.

I have used this technique for over thirty years. It outclasses every other method I have tried.

The third edition of The Art of Low Risk Investing is clearly written and easy to follow. The author presents a system for investing in equity securities that is easy to use even by beginners. This system uses moving averages to predict overall market performance and the performance of individual securities. This low risk-investing model gives precise times to buy and sell securities, as well as times to be fully invested and to not buy securities at all. I enjoyed the book, but found the later part of the text a little too self-serving and philosophical. Despite these distractions, the text is an excellent introduction to art of technical analysis in equity markets.

For the winner, the best book on the best trading parameters ie: moving averages. Read this book in 1987 and have done fantastically thereafter.

This as good a book as you can find on using Moving Averages to Invest. Before you try it understand how hard it is to implement any strategy and stick with it. That is the key to any viable strategy. Remember Moving Averages are lagging indicators. The longer the average you use the longer the lag and there will always be the problem of whipsaws. Notice though that a couple of the few Reviewers here say they have used the System with Success. How many reviews of other Trading Books can make that claim?
