The Art of Trend Trading - by Michael Parness (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

The Art of Trend Trading bucks the trend of technicality to show readers how instinct and strategy can unite to bring about consistent investment success. Rather than diving ever-deeper into the overdone world of complicated modeling and forecasting techniques, trader, CEO, and bestselling author Michael Parness explains how making intuition a part of your investment strategy tends to result in more long-term profit. Using animal spirits as a metaphor and tool, Parness helps readers understand how their natural tendencies may run counter to their strategy, and how this dichotomy may be the shackle holding them back from true market success. Readers will learn how this perspective lifted Parness from homelessness to making millions in both Bull and Bear markets, and will start developing their own market instinct as they refine and tune into their own natural intuition.

Everyone's looking for the "ultimate" system, a way to "game the market" and uncover the "secret" to successful investing. Over the years, Parness has observed that the best traders - those who consistently make money - are the ones that use instinct and intuition, as well as strategy. This book shows you how to identify the natural trader within, and use your gut to inform an ever-evolving investment plan.

• Follow the author's journey from homelessness to millionaire
• Identify and understand your own strengths and weaknesses
• Develop your instinct alongside your strategy
• Take a lesson from traders making consistent money

There's no substitute for good strategy, but it's no secret that some strategies seem to be more profitable than others. The Art of Trend Trading helps you find that missing piece and turn it into more consistent investment success.

They look beyond the formula to The Art of Trend Trading.

Whether you're a newbie trader or a Wall Street influencer, this book has what you need to succeed. Michael's refreshing explanations bring to life the -moment when gut instinct drives technique and brilliant traders take more profit out of the market than run-of-the-mill technicians.

• Using technical analysis to trade gaps
• Riding trends while managing risk
• Trading the intraday time frames when power trading
• Profiting in bull and bear markets by trading options
