Summary

Summary

From the Foreword by John J. Murphy "DeMark's work as a consultant has been restricted to large institutions and many of the legendary traders in the world today. By sharing his creative ideas with us, as well as his passion for precision and improvement, Tom DeMark's emphasis on the 'new science' of technical analysis helps push the technical frontier another step forward. With the unprecedented attention now being paid to technical analysis, this new book couldn't have come at a better time." --John J. Murphy, bestselling author of Technical Analysis of the Futures Markets and Intermarket Technical Analysis, and technical analyst for CNBC "This book is filled with innovative, creative, and clever new ideas on technical analysis. Tom DeMark has done a wonderful job of turning subjective techniques into objective strategies and tactics." --Courtney Smith President and CIO Pinnacle Capital Management, Inc. "Those who know him and his work call him the consummate technician--a trading system developer without peer." --Futures magazine "DeMark is the ultimate indicator and systems guy. No one touches him. I know the Holy Grail of trading systems doesn't exist because if it did, Tom would have found it by now." --James Bianco Director of Arbor Trading "Tom DeMark is a genuine leader who has been behind-the-scenes until now. Publishing DeMark is a coup." --Ralph Vince author of The Mathematics of Money Management

Booklist Review

DeMark has spent 23 years trading stocks and futures and studying markets and is considered a major innovator in the field of technical market analysis. An expert on market timing and chart and trend analysis, he definitively and clearly explains his own methods and the new market indicators he has created and uses. He discounts as being too subjective many of the popular trend analysis techniques and suggests that they only seem successful in retrospect and fail to generate buy and sell signals adequately. His system is purely analytical and mechanical, and DeMark himself admits that it is unconventional and unorthodox. He does suggest, though, that his ideas may be applied universally to any event of a cyclical nature. This book is a Wiley Finance edition, one in a series of sophisticated financial market analyses issued by the publisher. ~--David Rouse
