Trading Price Action Trading Ranges: Technical Analysis of Price Charts Bar by Bar for the Serious Trader: 521 (Wiley Trading)
Praise for Trading Price Action Trading Ranges“Al Brooks has written a book every day trader should read. On all levels, he has kept trading simple, straightforward, and approachable. By teaching traders that there are no rules, just guidelines, he has allowed basic common sense to once again rule how real traders should approach the market. This is a must-read for any trader that wants to learn his own path to success.”
―Noble DraKoln, founder, SpeculatorAcademy.com, and author of Trade Like a Pro and Winning the Trading Game“A great trader once told me that success was a function of focused energy. This mantra is proven by Al Brooks, who left a thriving ophthalmology practice to become a day trader. Al’s intense focus on daily price action has made him a successful trader. A born educator, Al also is generous with his time, providing detailed explanations on how he views daily price action and how other traders can implement his ideas with similar focus and dedication. Al’s book is no quick read, but an in-depth road map on how he trades today’s volatile markets, complete with detailed strategies, real-life examples, and hard-knocks advice.”
―Ginger Szala, Publisher and Editorial Director, Futures magazineOver the course of his career, author Al Brooks, a technical analysis contributor to Futures magazine and an independent trader for twenty-five years, has found a way to capture consistent profits regardless of market direction or economic climate. And now, with his new three-book series―which focuses on how to use price action to trade the markets―Brooks takes you step by step through the entire process.
In order to put his methodology in perspective, Brooks examined an essential array of price action basics and trends in the first book of this series, Trading Price Action TRENDS. Now, in this second book, Trading Price Action TRADING RANGES, he provides important insights on trading ranges, breakouts, order management, and the mathematics of trading.
Page by page, Brooks skillfully addresses how to spot and profit from trading ranges―which most markets are in, most of the time―using the technical analysis of price action. Along the way, he touches on some of the most important aspects of this approach, including trading breakouts, understanding support and resistance, and making the most informed entry and exit decisions possible. Throughout the book, Brooks focuses primarily on 5 minute candle charts―all of which are created with TradeStation―to illustrate basic principles, but also discusses daily and weekly charts. And since he trades more than just E-mini S&P 500 futures, Brooks also details how price action can be used as the basis for trading stocks, forex, Treasury Note futures, and options.

Technical Analysis: Is Mostly Bullshit – Why Flipping a Coin is a Better Strategy than Using Technical Analysis in the Financial, Stock, and Forex Markets
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
What If Technical Analysis Is a Lie?
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬As In Something That Doesn’t Work and Never Has…
Look at all the courses on the internet claiming you will be a millionaire from using Technical Analysis! How someone with just $500 in their bank account made a $100,000 in 3 days. And all you have to do is look for a pattern on a chart and follow their advice. Seem too good to be true… that’s because it is!
Hi, my name is Tim Morris. I’ve been trading stocks for many years, and have a great bit of experience in the markets. I’m here today to cut through the lies, and give you the cold hard truth about technical analysis. The truth other “educators” won’t tell you. The truth you deserve to know. That technical analysis is complete bullshit!
Here’s What You’ll Learn In This Book:
- Introduction: My Story – Before the book begins, I share with you my own roller coaster experience with technical analysis, and how I stumbled upon the information that I reveal in this book. The information that confirmed my suspicions that technical analysis is, and always has been, bullshit.
- Chapter 1: Analyzing the Markets – First we go over the main ways traders are taught how to analyze the markets and make money in stocks. This would include both fundamental and technical analysis, as well as a few other hypotheses that have been proposed about how the stock market operates.
- Chapter 2: Classic Technical Analysis – In this chapter, I explain the way classic technical analyze is taught to traders in books, video courses, and subscription services across the web. This includes:
- Patterns – Cup and Handle, Head and Shoulders, Flags, Triangles, Double Tops, and Many More
- Indicators – RSI, MACD, Stochastics, Moving Averages, Bollinger Bands, Divergence, Volume
- Tools – Fibonacci Retracement, Fibonacci Projection, and Elliott Wave Theory
- Chapter 3: The Issues – This is the heart of the book and where I really lay down the hammer. I go over the many flaws that are brazenly apparent in the technical analysis theory, that you’ve likely never heard of.
- Can TA really be used in all time frames?
- Does TA really work in all financial markets?
- Has anyone actually made their money with TA?
- Have the inventors of TA indicators actually made money with their own indicators?
- I reference charts, statistics, and studies, as well as expert testimonial from PhD economists and other traders in the field. *Warning* You will be shocked and stunned by what is revealed in this chapter.
- Chapter 4: The Verdicts – In the last chapter, we go over the final verdicts of each technical analysis tool brought up previously in the book. I explain which tools are worthless, which are plausible, and which actually work. Notice I said mostly bullshit. There are a couple useful tools!
- Bonus Chapter – Japanese Candlesticks

Charting and Technical Analysis
To invest successfully or trade in Stocks, Options, Forex, or even Mutual Funds, it is imperative to know AND understand price and market movements that can only be learned from Technical Analysis. You should NEVER attempt Trading or Investing without it!My 25 years experience has taught me that ‘every book on the market’ regarding Charting and Technical Analysis is seemingly worthless. All seem to find yet another creative way to tell you to “Buy Low and Sell High.” And they offer NO in-depth understanding or analysis about WHO is buying and WHO is selling, and when.Point is, anyone, experienced or not, can show you a picture of a Chart and tell you to buy at the bottom and sell at the top. That is simple ‘hindsight,’ and is always 20/20.This book is different! It is IN-DEPTH – EXPLAINED and you WILL learn price movements and technical analysis from this information!You will understand and recognize tops and bottoms in the market and in particular stocks, AS they are forming. This is highly valuable information, and you should NEVER attempt to trade or invest without this knowledge.Mutual Funds? Most people think they do not need this information because the have a Mutual Fund. That could not be farther from the truth. Investing your hard-earned money should be done with your own knowledge of market direction, when to buy, and when to move your money to safety. Without this knowledge you are at the mercy of a salesperson hungry to earn a commission. Thus, invariably entering the market at the wrong time and in the wrong investment. No one else has your best interest in mind. So learn to protect your money or keep it in the bank. It’s that simple. The next move is yours.Read more

Trading: Technical Analysis Masterclass: Master the financial markets
Trading stocks, currencies, futures, and other financial contracts is not actually complicated and anybody can learn it in a relatively short time. This has been my daily experience for the past decade and even traders who have tried everything for years without success can make their first profits if the art of trading is explained to them in the right way. However, the keyword “in the right way” is important here. This book focuses on technical analysis, explanation and interpretation of price movements and chart patterns as well as on learning effective, ready-to-use trading strategies. However, it is important to go beyond the usual technical analysis, and to analyze the behavior of traders based on psychological factors and phenomena of mass psychology as well. The price movements on the international financial markets arise because millions of people interact with each other every day. Buying and selling decisions are influenced by emotions and human behavioral patterns.Whether we are looking at a speculator from China 200 years ago, a Wall Street pit trader from New York 80 years ago or a modern-day “Joe Bloggs trader”, trading from his/her smartphone – the human components, i.e. emotions and instincts, hardly differ. Greed, fear, uncertainty and the willingness to take risks have determined human actions for millennia and, of course, also how people have maneuvered their money around the world’s markets for centuries. Those who learn to read the buyer and seller interaction from the charts will be able to read and handle any price movement. This is true because all price charts follow universal and timeless rules that can be successfully interpreted with the help of effective technical analysis.Over the years, more than one million visitors have already searched for information about trading on our website www.tradeciety.com. Every day, traders ask us how they can understand technical analysis and trading in a better manner. This book is a result of the motivation to answer these questions collectively. It is the book I would have wished for at the beginning of my trading career over 15 years ago.The first section of this book provides comprehensive knowledge of the fundamentals and individual components of technical analysis and price analysis. The second section focuses on the most important trading patterns as well as the correct interpretation of chart formations. We will explore potential entry signal points and trading strategies so that traders can now already make sense of their own charts with confidence. The third and final section focuses on developing a customized trading strategy. In addition to an insight into important psychological trading concepts, traders will get numerous practical tips to ensure that they handle their trading professionally at the end of this book. The goal of this book is it to enable the reader to look behind the price movements and understand why prices rise and fall, how buyers and sellers interact and thus to make effective trading decisions. The comprehensive and step-by-step knowledge of technical analysis ultimately makes it possible to interpret any chart situation and, thus, hopefully, become an independent trader.Read more

Macroeconomics for Emerging East Asia (Elements of Paleontology)
Macroeconomics for Emerging East Asia presents a distinctive approach to the study of macroeconomic theory and policy. The author develops a unique analytical framework that incorporates: (1) both internal and external balance as aspects of macroeconomic stability; (2) both the exchange rate and the interest rate as monetary policy instruments, (3) government debt sustainability as a concern of fiscal policy, and (4) global capital flows as a force to be reckoned with. The framework provides students with the foundational knowledge to analyze macroeconomic issues common to emerging economies. Concepts are illustrated using the latest empirical data and extensive case study analysis for thirteen economies of Northeast and Southeast Asia (Cambodia, China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Korea, Laos, Myanmar, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam). The book’s lucid exposition accommodates students of differing levels of preparation.Read more

The Emergence of Modern Southeast Asia: A New History
The modern states of Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines, Myanmar, Malaysia, Singapore, Cambodia, Laos, Brunei, and East Timor were once a tapestry of kingdoms, colonies, and smaller polities linked by sporadic trade and occasional war. By the end of the nineteenth century, however, the United States and several European powers had come to control almost the entire region—only to depart dramatically in the decades following World War II.
The Emergence of Modern Southeast Asia offers a new and up-to-date perspective on this complex region. Although it does not neglect nation-building (the central theme of its popular and long-lived predecessor, In Search of Southeast Asia), the present work focuses on economic and social history, gender, and ecology. It describes the long-term impact of global forces on the region and traces the spread and interplay of capitalism, nationalism, and socialism. It acknowledges that modernization has produced substantial gains in such areas as life expectancy and education but has also spread dislocation and misery.Organizationally, the book shifts between thematic chapters that describe social, economic, and cultural change, and “country” chapters emphasizing developments within specific areas. Enhanced by scores of illustrations, The Emergence of Modern Southeast Asia will establish a new standard for the history of this dynamic and radically transformed region of the world.
Contributors: David Chandler, Norman G. Owen, William R. Roff, David Joel Steinberg, Jean Gelman Taylor, Robert H. Taylor, Alexander Woodside, David K. Wyatt.

Central Asia in World History (New Oxford World History)
A vast region stretching roughly from the Volga River to Manchuria and the northern Chinese borderlands, Central Asia has been called the -pivot of history, – a land where nomadic invaders and Silk Road traders changed the destinies of states that ringed its borders, including pre-modern Europe, the Middle East, and China. In Central Asia in World History, Peter B. Golden provides an engaging account of this important region, ranging from prehistory to the present, focusing largely on the unique melting pot of cultures that this region has produced over millennia. Golden describes the traders who braved the heat and cold along caravan routes to link East Asia and Europe; the Mongol Empire of Chinggis Khan and his successors, the largest contiguous land empire in history; the invention of gunpowder, which allowed the great sedentary empires to overcome the horse-based nomads; the power struggles of Russia and China, and later Russia and Britain, for control of the area. Finally, he discusses the region today, a key area that neighbors such geopolitical hot spots as Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and China.

The New Global Politics of the Asia-Pacific: Conflict and Cooperation in the Asian Century
Now in its new and fully updated third edition, The New Global Politics of the Asia Pacific continues to provide a compelling analysis of a region undergoing dramatic changes. Based on new research and offering fresh interpretation, this edition evaluates the prospects for continuing US dominance in the ‘Asian Century’. Whilst presenting evidence for a multifaceted ‘Beijing Strategy’, which aims to counter the US by building an alternative regional order, it also explains Japan’s definitive departure from its limited military role. Providing an introductory guide for the main frameworks needed to understand the region, including realism, liberalism and critical theory, this new edition is reader-friendly, and offers sophisticated competing explanations. Key content includes:
- Intra-regional conflicts in the South China Sea and the Korean peninsula,
- The different responses within the Asia-Pacific to the globalization of Western ideas of democracy and political economy,
- The underappreciated success of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations in building a regional identity,
- The European Union’s soft power in the region.
A highly topical account, which offers an overview of the main actors, institutions and contemporary issues in the Asia-Pacific, the book will be essential reading for undergraduate students of Asian Studies, International Politics, and anyone interested in the region.

How Asia Works: Success and Failure in the World’s Most Dynamic Region
Until the catastrophic economic crisis of the late 1990s, East Asia was perceived as a monolithic success story. But heady economic growth rates masked the most divided continent in the world – one half the most extraordinary developmental success story ever seen, the other half a paper tiger.
Joe Studwell explores how policies ridiculed by economists created titans in Japan, Korea and Taiwan, and are now behind the rise of China, while the best advice the West could offer sold its allies in South-East Asia down the economic river. The first book to offer an Asia-wide deconstruction of success and failure in economic development, Studwell’s latest work is provocative and iconoclastic – and sobering reading for most of the world’s developing countries. How Asia Works is a must-read book that packs powerful insights about the world’s most misunderstood continent.

Trading Places: The East India Company and Asia 1600-1834
The British merchants who began trading with Asia in the late 1500s found a sophisticated and thriving trading community. Goods were manufactured and traded on a scale never seen in Europe, and Britain discovered a wealth of products including silks, porcelain, tea, spices and furniture. This illustrated book examines the history of trading with Asia, drawing on the extensive collections of the British Library, the prime holder of the documentary legacy of the East India Company. The East India Company was founded in 1600 to consolidate and exploit the Asian markets, and over its history grew into “the grandest society of merchants in the universe”. As a commercial enterprise it came to control half the world’s trade and as political entity it administered an embryonic empire. This book shows the human cost of creating this early “global market” and how the Company’s activities displayed some of the worst aspects of colonialism. On the positive side, the book presents the importance of the 400-year cultural exchange between Asia and Europe.Read more
