5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended, May 16, 2007
This review is from: Techniques of a Professional Commodity Chart Analyst (Hardcover)
If you take only one of the many techniques explained in this book, you will profit. For example "Net Change Oscillators":

Simple averages are the sum of a number of values divided by the number. As we move along the time line, the oldest value is dropped off and the latest value is added on. The change in the average is the difference between the latest and the oldest (i.e. the net change) divided by the number. The change in the average is called the velocity of price change; therefore, the net change is a measure of that velocity.

When the net change is plotted along a time line, it oscillates across a zero line. This is called the net-change oscillator (NCO). Now let me describe a phenomenon that has given correct signals nine times out of ten in the course of many years of trading commodities, bank bills, indexes, and currencies.

The method is dead-simple: in an uptrend, you draw a guideline across the bottom tips of NCO, in a downtrend the guideline is drawn across the top tips. When the NCO penetrates the guideline, a trend change is imminent[...]

This book is highly recommended.

2.0 out of 5 stars more techniques than you can shake a stick at!, April 20, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Techniques of a Professional Commodity Chart Analyst (Hardcover)
180 pages of more techniques than you could possibly use. The formulas are well explained, the strategies (series of 7, magic number of three, moving averages, exponential moving averages, stochastics, csi, rsi, regression analysis, etc) are also well explained. As somone who has searched for the ultimate formula, oscillator, technique or what ever for trading commodities, after reading this book, I've concluded that you can find a chart or group of charts to justify ANY idea. Given any market, depending on which combination of indicators one chooses, one could justify any decision. Now what good is that?
