Product Description

Discover a New Approach to Analyzing Price Fluctuations in the Foreign Exchange Market

Forex Wave Theory provides spot currency speculators and commodity futures traders with an innovative new approach to analyzing price fluctuations in the foreign exchange.

Written by Jim Bickford, a successful veteran online spot currency trader, this expert financial tool explains the four most significant categories within technical analysis_pattern recognition, econometric models, crossover trading systems, and wave theory_and includes critical definitions of technical terms.

Forex Wave Theory examines in detail different length cycles of two through six waves, with special emphasis on their predictive reliability. The book also converts raw security data (OHLC quotes) to swing data through the application of a refined minimum reversal algorithm.

Based on solid mathematical and statistical models, Forex Wave Theory is a highly visual resource that uses over 200 images to explore:

  • Currency Markets_ Spot Currencies; Currency Futures
  • Technical Analysis_ Pattern Recognition; Econometric Models; Crossover Trading Systems; Wave Theory
  • Reversal Charts_Point & Figure Charts; Renko Charts; Swing Charts
  • Brief History of Wave Theory_ Origin of Wave Theory; Gann Angles; Kondratiev Wave; Elliott Wave Theory; Gartley Patterns; Goodman Swing Count System
  • Two-Wave Cycles_Two-Wave Cycle Properties; Enhancing the Forecast
  • Three-Wave Cycles_Basic Three-Wave Cycle Types; Forecasting the Third Wave
  • Four-Wave Cycles_Multi-Wave Cycle Names; Four-Wave Cycle Properties
  • Five-Wave Cycles_Properties; Forecasting the Fifth Wave
  • Six-Wave Cycles_Properties; Forecasting the Sixth Wave; Double-Wave Forecasting
  • Advanced Topics_Data Operations; Swing Operations

This on-target reference also features instructive case studies of the author's unique method, together with a wide range of important supplemental information covering ISO currency pairs, exchange rates, global banking hours, basic three-wave cycles, and related resources.

A vital tool for success in the currency market, Forex Wave Theory gives traders a powerful new method for analyzing fluctuations in the foreign exchange markets_and accurately determining market waves.

2.0 out of 5 stars models are not tested with any rigour, October 23, 2007
This review is from: Forex Wave Theory: A Technical Analysis for Spot and Futures Curency Traders (Hardcover)
Bickford gives summaries of various wave theories that have been proposed and used over the years. Most prominent is perhaps the Elliott Wave. Then there are the so-called multi-wave cycles. Much of the discussion is qualitative, which is probably all that is necessary for readers who wish to try out the models.

The weakness is in its pronounced lack of scrutiny. Perhaps the book is meant to be preaching to the choir. Where a reader is a priori assumed to believe that some of this stuff actually works. A more sceptical reader should be cautious. Each model has some plausibility. But what were the results of actually applying it in the marketplace? So beware, before putting any of your money down on these models, or indeed on the book itself.

4.0 out of 5 stars Statistical basis for wave theory and Elliott principles, January 10, 2008
This review is from: Forex Wave Theory: A Technical Analysis for Spot and Futures Curency Traders (Hardcover)
Reading this book, with its thoroughly swing analysis of EUR/USD, gives you a clear statistical basis for the concepts presented by Elliott and others about swing count, retracements etc. etc.
A must to complete an Elliott study of the Forex market.
Useful the historical part about development of wave theory.
This is not a trading system, you won't find a specific technique to make real trades, but with other material is useful to make analysis.

4.0 out of 5 stars Solid Introduction to Wave Theory, January 2, 2008
By Michael Archer (Steamboat Springs, Colorado) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Forex Wave Theory: A Technical Analysis for Spot and Futures Curency Traders (Hardcover)
Jim has provided a very solid introduction to a very complex topic - market (and FOREX) wave theory. A great book to get a firm foundation of what has gone on in Wave Theory - and to carry forward with ones own study and research.
