Dr Alexander Elder
What you see on the surface is often deceptive – in trading, as well as
in life. A trend may appear strong, while below the surface it may be
weak and ready to reverse.
This book will teach you to use indicators for measuring the
internal power of trends. When they confirm an uptrend, they tell you
it’s OK to hold or add to long positions. At other times they signal
that the trend is suspect: it is better to exit, take profits, and even
consider switching from long to short or vice versa.
A divergence is a disagreement between the patterns of indicators
and prices. You’ll find bullish divergences near market bottoms and
bearish divergences near market tops. Some traders use these important
terms loosely – this book will make them very clear by guiding you
through several Reader Exercises. It will show you how to ride price
trends with greater confidence and recognize upcoming reversals before
they hit the crowd.
