The ability to make money in financial markets depends most critically on an individual's ability to make decisions independent of the crowd. This work shows traders how, by being aware of the forces at work in the financial markets, they can use them to their own advantage. It focuses on: the way that the crowd influence creates specific price movements and patterns, rhythmic oscillations and mathematically-related price movements; the design of trading systems; knowing when to enter a position or exit a position; how market price movements trigger negative and self-defeating behaviour patterns; how best to recognize these patterns and override them; and how to enhance confidence in one's ability to succeed. This edition is fully revised and updated, giving fresh insights into the psychology of trading and market activity, and showing how to achieve trading advantage.

The Most Revealing Modern Book on Mass Psychology of Markets,
This review is from: Forecasting Financial Markets: The Psychology of Successful Investing (Third Edition) (Hardcover)
Tony Plummer's recent visit to New York and his speech at the Princeton Club had prompted me to reread his book. In his quiet, understated, very British way, but with a tremendous clarity and style this professional money manager reveals mass psychology is behind market moves. If the markets drive you crazy with their seemingly irrational swings, read this book to see the logic behind disorder. Tony Plummer illuminates market movements for you in a way that will impact your understanding for as long as you trade. Then he shares some of his analytic techniques. This book belongs on the desk of every serious technical analyst and trader!

This review is from: Forecasting Financial Markets: The Psychology of Successful Investing (Third Edition) (Hardcover)
This book has a beautiful starting and amazing ending.In the begining of the book Mr. Plummer talks about how the psycology of investors as a whole can effect the financial market. At the end he talks about few strategies to adopt as an investor. The middle of the book explains different concepts of technical anaysis which is not very impressive. It is a good book but their are better books available on technical analysis. Well i had time and read the whole book on the train while going to work every morning.
