Precious Knowledge for Nascent Investors

Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2018

New to investing- after reading this and Fred's book on charting and technical analysis I realized that up until now I haven't been investing, but gambling. Both books have been thoroughly highlighted and dog-eared, and look like I've had them for a decade (I've had them for ~ a month). By implementing the strategies included in this and Charting and Technical Analysis, these books have paid for themselves over 1,000 times.

Amazing books.

Fred McAllen's books have helped me immensely. I've always viewed trading as something extremely complicated that required expensive software. He breaks down trading to simple truths and proven techniques. He makes it easy to understand charting, trends, entry, and exit, etc. Two books down. Can't wait for more.

McAllen is easy to read and also very detailed with his advice. I have read his other book and they are both essential if you are just starting out. I plan to keep and re-read them both every couple years.

Trading the Trends is excellent, but a companion book Charting and Technical Analysis is rather necessary to understand what makes up the trends. They are both well written, Fred McAllen has some very useful ideas for anyone seriously interested in managing their own investments.

Sequel to Charting and Technical Analysis

Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2013

Verified Purchase

Trading The Trends - by Fred McAllen - this is the second book after 'Charting and Technical Analysis'. This is a must read after finishing the first book. In Trading The Trends, a broad approach to the market is taken and then builds with greater detail as a strategy is selected and trade plan is used. Much of the knowledge from the first book is used as this second one rounds out everything with profit in mind. Whether you are a long term investor, swing trader, shorter term trader/day trader, techniques are discussed with examples and goals in mind. Entry and Exit points, moving averages, and other indicators are discussed. I skipped the 'Covered Calls' section because I know I won't trade that way, but it is consistent with the rest of the book. Covered Calls involve owning stock and using call options - this lines up more with the 'investor' strategy versus short term trading strategy I was exited about. Income strategies using options also are discussed such as a bear call spread. For Butterflys and Condors you might check out other sources, but some brief mentions about blue chips and utilities is covered. Advancing and Declining securities overall seemed helpful to me such as looking at the New York Stock exchange and index as a broader scope versus the DJIA for instance. The 50 DMA and 200 DMA are discussed with examples. The support and resistence concepts are vital and are thoroughly discussed. All in all, I have bolstered my trading with this book and have switched gears from being stubborn prematurally with puts on banks and the fractional reserve banking issues to a different strategy altogether with a shorter time horizon. These short term trade examples helpfed me greatly to hone my skills. Some things discussed I knew, others I only vaguely knew of, but were clarified by the author and explained well such as the 3-5 concept within a primary trend. The reason perhaps is that Fred had more exposure over more years than myself even though I know many of the techniques he discussed. In summation, Fred's book Trading The Trends is a MUST read!

Must Have For Anyone Interested In Technical Analysis

Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2021

Phenomenal read! Must read for anyone looking to familiarize themselves with technical analysis. I'm fairly new to trading and this book made the concepts very easy to understand using great examples. The book is a super easy read and chapters are fairly short so its not overwhelming.

This book and this writer just made sense to me. Written in a very clear and straight forward manner. Not excessively in-depth, but not intended to be. If looking for a common sense approach to build your trading foundation upon, this book is a great choice.

Trend following

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 18, 2021

Verified Purchase

Possibly one of the better trend following book. I have read Michael Covel's books before this one and was quite disappointed. There is no magic formula but the concepts are made more practical and it is less pompously written it's also does not come across as an elevator pitch. The philosophy is much more clearly explained and made accessible to anyone interested in the concept and there are no gimmicks. This doesn't mean it's easy as the examples have the benefit of hindsight but it gives you a clear foundation to build from.

Great book gives you a lot of great tips on how to use the trends, channel lines, support and resistance to identify signs or reversal early so you can either enter or exit the market. The only minor downside is that some of the information is repeated in his other book.
