Riassunto

A comprehensive volume of today's most profitable trade set-ups

A key element of trading is identifying situations in the financial markets that can produce a profitable trade. Fundamental analysts search for situations where a stock is undervalued or if a stock's prospective earnings growth is underestimated by a majority of investors. Technical analysts look at patterns in the market that historically indicate the direction of the markets next move. High Probability Trade Set-Ups catalogs the best trading situations from a variety of technical approaches.

Engaging and informative, High Probability Trade Set-Ups provides a detailed explanation of twenty powerful, recurring tradable situations in the financial markets. Each pattern is thoroughly described, including its strengths and drawbacks, ease of identification, and the degree to which it produces profitable trades. Most importantly, the author provides entry and exit points for each set up. Examples of the set-ups include chart patterns such as ascending triangles, diamonds, gaps, pennants, and channels.

• Features many new technical tools for tracking individual stocks
• Contains a resource guide, which will help to monitor the market for the trade set-ups discussed throughout the book
• Reveals how to use ProphetCharts to perform advanced intermarket technical studies and identify the best opportunities

Written in a straightforward and accessible style, High Probability Trade Set-Ups covers a lot of ground with respect to this approach and shows you how to use it to make the most of your time in today's dynamic markets.

Dalla seconda/terza di copertina:

A key element of trading is identifying situations in the financial markets that can produce profits. The technical analyst tends to achieve this goal by looking at patterns in the markets that historically indicate the direction of the markets' next move.

Author Tim Knight—founder of Prophet Financial Systems and the popular blog SlopeOfHope.com—has been involved in trading for a quarter century, experiencing everything from the Internet boom and dot-com crash to the housing bubble and the Great Recession. For almost that entire time, he's successfully used charts and technical analysis as the basis for his investing decisions. Now, with High-Probability Trade Setups, he shows you how to do the same.

Divided into three comprehensive parts, this reliable resource opens with an informative overview of chart setups and offers a solid introduction to the principles and philosophy of technical analysis. After providing you with a firm understanding of these essential issues, Knight turns his attention to the main focus of the book, which is historical price patterns, their results, and their nuances.

Chapter by chapter, Knight presents detailed explanations of twenty powerful patterns, using real-world examples that will help you understand their behavior and apply them to your everyday trading endeavors. Each chapter in Part Two of the book is structurally the same—introduction to a pattern, definition of the pattern, psychology behind the pattern, examples, and summary—so you can quickly gain valuable insights on patterns of particular interest to you. Some of the setups covered include chart patterns such as:

• Ascending triangles and wedges

• Diamonds

• Gaps

• Fibonacci fans

• Pennants

• Head and shoulders

• Channels

Part Three of this practical guide rounds out the discussion by outlining some critically important rules of today's trading road and sharing some valuable knowledge on short selling.

Making money in the market isn't easy, but it is possible. With High-Probability Trade Setups as your guide, you'll discover exactly what it takes to chart your way to more consistent and profitable trading.
