Volatility-Based Technical Analysis, Companion Web site: Strategies for Trading the Invisible (Wiley Trading) (Hardcover)

by Kirk Northington

A framework for creating volatility-based technical analysis and trading it for profit

Volatility-Based Technical Analysis bridges the advantage gap between resource rich institutions and individual traders. It is a no-calculus, plain-English text that reveals original, highly technical, mathematical-based volatility indicators, complete with MetaStock® and TradeStation® code. With this in hand, any trader can "trade the invisible" by seeing a hidden mathematical structure on the price chart. Author Kirk Northington reveals his proprietary volatility indicators that serve as a market early warning system. Northington extensively teaches you how to build your own indicators, test them, and incorporate your original components into your specific trading methods.

• Walks traders through the mathematical techniques needed to create indicators that fit their own style
• Illustrates volatility-based entries and exits with over 170 descriptive chart examples
• Introduces two new concepts in technical analysis: Volatility Shift and PIV

Written with the serious trader in mind, Volatility-Based Technical Analysis has what you need to successfully trade today's institutionally dominated markets.
