Forexmentor - The Advanced Forex Price Action Techniques :

part3.rar

Forex traders invest in an extraordinary amount of time learning how to analyse the market in hope of finding the ultimate strategy that never loses...This is common pitfall amongst developing Forex traders. You see...they learn as much as they can about the market because they think that will help them avoid being on the wrong side of the market. The fact is... most traders have ample knowledge of the market but yet still can't make a consistent return. It is my belief that they're learning about the markets for the wrong reason. Instead of learning a new strategy to add another edge to their tool box, they're learning about technical analysis in order to avoid losses!

I believe this is a losing mindset!

A professional winning trader must have a completely different mindset in order to succeed consistently. Once the winning mindset has been ingrained at a functional level, the trader can move forward and take their trading to new heights.

Understanding how to think in probabilities by focusing on the larger picture instead of individual trade outcomes is the key to helping you trade without being gripped by the constant fear of losing which affects most traders.

And...as with all skills in life, confidence will lead to success. Forex trading, while can be learned, is not easily mastered! It takes time and effort to understand what type of person you are which will determine what type of trader you are. Each and every person can trade, but unlike most professions, trading will test your mental makeup as an individual. The struggle is not with the market but with the trader themselves!

Why This Course?

Having the privilege of working daily along side hundreds of traders in the last 3+ years has allowed me to gain a deep understanding of the struggles developing Forex traders face. I understand the frustration of traders who have been trading for years but yet still unable to make consistent profits. I've been told by many of our students that they like the way I teach trading concepts. I am often asked to explain how I approach my own trading. Although a live trading room is a great environment to analyse trades together, it is not an ideal format to teach everything I know about trading the Forex. I am often left unsatisfied with my explanation due to time constrain and other factors. After much consideration and requests from those I work with, I decided to organize all my trading knowledge in a single course that will hopefully benefit serious traders.

Michael C. Thomsett, "Options Trading for the Institutional Investor: Managing Risk in Financial Institutions" : the book

To protect portfolios in today's volatile and uncertain market environment, institutional investors need to hedge losses, create extra sources of income, and reduce risk. In his extensively updated and expanded Options Trading for the Institutional Investor, Third Edition, renowned options expert Michael C. Thomsett shows how to do all this effectively.

One step at a time, Thomsett helps institutional investors exploit powerful, carefully chosen options strategies that can dramatically increase overall returns as you manage risks within your institution's limits.

He guides professional investors through every strategy, using actual examples, portfolios, and graphs taken directly from today's markets. Wherever applicable, he addresses specific forms of risk and volatility that only institutional investors face.

This thoroughly updated Third Edition includes a chart-based analytical method that relies on reversal signals in the underlying as an alternative to volatility analysis. Thomsett presents new chapters on two powerful strategies he has developed and utilized to optimize returns while minimizing risk: the 1-2-3 Iron Butterfly, and the Dividend Collar.

Anna Coulling, "A Three Dimensional Approach To Forex Trading" : the book

If you aspire to becoming a full time forex trader, then this is the book for you. Even if your dream is perhaps more modest, and you simply want to have a second income trading the forex markets, then again, this book is for you. It has been written with one clear objective in mind. To explain how and why currencies move in the way that they do, using the combined power of relational, technical and fundamental analysis. Combine this with a three dimensional approach to trading itself, using multiple time frames and multiple chart analysis, and the world of foreign exchange will become crystal clear. Many aspiring traders, simply do not realize that the forex market sits at the heart of the financial world, which, when you think about it logically, is really common sense. After all, this is the biggest money market in the world, and if the financial markets are about one thing, they are about money. Making it, protecting it, or increasing the return. It’s no surprise therefore, that the forex market connects all the others. It is the central axis of the financial world, around which all the others spin. In the book, you will discover how changes in market sentiment in the primary markets of commodities, stocks, bonds and equities, are then reflected in the currency markets. This is something which often surprises novice traders. After all, why look at a stock index, or the price of gold, or a bond market? The answer is very simple. It is in these markets where you will find all the clues and signals, which then reveal money flow. After all, the financial markets are all about risk. In other words, higher returns for higher risk, or lower returns for lower risk. It really is that simple. And yet, how many forex traders ever consider associated markets. The answer is very few. You will be one of those enlightened traders who truly understands money flow and risk, and your confidence as a trader will grow exponentially as a result. And in case you were wondering, this is NOT another book explaining forex trading strategies. In fact there are none at all, surprising given the book's length. If this is what you are looking for, please DO NOT buy this book. It has been written for two specific audiences. The first is the novice forex trader, for whom this is a new market. The second is the forex trader who has attempted to trade in foreign exchange, but failed, and has been left confused by the apparent random and chaotic behavior of this volatile market. Reading this book will provide you with a deep understanding of how and why the markets move in the way they do. Whilst the forex market is a complex mix, it is not complicated, once you understand the people, their motives and the currencies themselves. Each chapter builds on the last in a logical sequence, and every topic is explained in a simple and clear way. Even those markets such as bonds, which few traders ever understand, are explained very simply. Every topic is illustrated with clearly annotated charts, to help and guide you as you learn. Equally important is the concept of change. Indeed you may have other books on your bookshelf written many years ago and explaining how the forex market works. Well, as you will discover, the rule book has been torn up. No longer is this a simple market of trending currency pairs. This all changed in the financial tsunami which engulfed the world in 2007/2008, and with it the forex world changed too! If this is news to you, then yet another reason to buy the book. Long gone are the days when currency pairs meandered their way higher and lower in long term trends, driven by interest rate differentials. To take advantage, you need to understand the forces which now drive the markets. A Three Dimensional Approach To Forex Trading will empower you with knowledge. Knowledge and confidence go hand in hand. Confidence breeds success, and success breeds money, which will then flow from reading the book - Anna

Mike Imms, Ms Gill Ereaut, "An Introduction to Qualitative Market Research" : the book

"It will be essential reading for anyone involved with qualitative market research."

--David Barr, Director General of the Market Research Society

"An ideal resource for people aiming for a qualitative market research career, for academics interested to know more about an important field of application for qualitative research methods, or for those who are already engaged in the field and who wish to update their skills and reflect on their practice and profession."

--Nigel Fielding, University of Surrey

Qualitative Market Research is a landmark publishing event. The seven volumes provide, for the first time, complete coverage of qualitative market research practice, written by experienced practitioners, for both a commercial and academic audience. The set fills two important market gaps: it offers commercial practitioners authoritative source texts for training and professional development; and provides students and researchers an account of qualitative research theory and practice in use today. Each book cross-references others in the series, but can also be used as a stand-alone resource on a key topic.

The seven books have been carefully structured so as to be completely accessible in terms of language, use of jargon and assumed knowledge. Experienced market researchers will find the tools to help them critically evaluate their own work. Those new to market research will be provided with a complete map of qualitative market research theory and practice (including brands and advertising theory) and the stimulation to discuss and learn more with tutors and practitioners.

Qualitative Market Research will be an invaluable resource for academic and professional libraries, commercial market researchers, as well as essential reading for students in market research, marketing and business studies.
