Learn to make money in any market. McAllen, a retired stockbroker, best selling author, and active investor/trader leads you through every aspect of recognizing market trends early, how to avoid losses, and shares numerous strategies to profit in any market. Understanding how to invest and trade in the stock market trends and cycles is paramount to the success of every individual trader and investor. Experiencing the losses of the past does not have to repeat itself over and over. By recognizing the changes in trends as they are occurring, the trader and investor can protect andpreserve their capital while profiting in any market environment.To give the investor and trader the most comprehensive learning experience, this book encompasses the actual trading decisions and strategies used in both up and down markets. Bear market and sideways market strategies are traded, including trading the bull market beginning in 2009 and exiting at the highs in 2011. The decisions for each entry and exit are shared in detail to give the investor and trader a broad understanding and valuable knowledge for future market cycles."The greatest investors, traders, and speculators of all time have one thing in common. They understand the market does not always go up; they recognize the market moves in trends and cycles, and they capitalize on that knowledge." ~ Fred McAllen Review: Sequel to Charting and Technical Analysis - 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! Review: Excellent Work! - This book is a great place to start as an investor or trader seeking ways to understand the markets and how to trade it. I enjoyed the conversational tone and examples laid out in the book. I plan to read it a few more times just for clarity and understanding. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #91,464 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #172 in Introduction to Investing | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 901 Reviews | ## Images ![Trading the Trends - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61wFTmZ-1-L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sequel to Charting and Technical Analysis *by E***N on December 26, 2013* Trading The Trends - by Fred McAllen - this is the second book after 'Charting and Technical Analysis'.
