Pragmatic Trading
Professional & Modern Methods
This book is a high power course in professional grade directional stock trading. Designed to remove the burden of the study of 8-10 different core stock trading textbooks by providing the essentials of a complete trading plan structure, the highest performance analysis tools and how to deploy them, and a broad set of specific “professional grade” entry and trade management techniques.
Pragmatic Trading reveals revolutionary professional grade trade plan concepts and tools:
- Fibonacci Fitting (TM), a revolutionary technique for projecting market tops and turns from partial price swing data.
- The Morgan Visual Trend Indicator (MVTI), which measures trend purely quantitatively and provides extreme ease of use for trend assessment across time frames.
- The Morgan Adaptive Squeeze Indicator (MASI), a transformation improvement on the traditional static squeeze indicator to provide high quality signals across markets of varying volatility.
- MarketState, a multi-dimensional modeling tool for providing trade management controls and trade commitment controls for trade execution synchrony (“rhythm”) with the market.
Pragmatic Trading is comprehensive, taking a newbie trader from the basics of price charts into the details of market state analysis and trading plan controls. An emphasis throughout is the criticality of comprehensive trade planning.
Here’s a sample chart from the book, showing two excellent short term buy opportunities in the SP500 market on 7/11/2019.
