Download or read book Trading Price Action Trends written by Al Brooks and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2011-11-29 with total page 489 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A practical guide to profiting from institutional trading trends The key to being a successful trader is finding a system that works and sticking with it. Author Al Brooks has done just that. By simplifying his trading system and trading only 5-minute price charts he's found a way to capture profits regardless of market direction or economic climate. His first book, Reading Price Charts Bar by Bar, offered an informative examination of his system, but it didn't allow him to get into the real nuts and bolts of the approach. Now, with this new series of books, Brooks takes you step by step through the entire process. By breaking down his trading system into its simplest pieces: institutional piggybacking or trend trading (the topic of this particular book in the series), trading ranges, and transitions or reversals, this three book series offers access to Brooks' successful methodology. Price Action Trends Bar by Bar describes in detail what individual bars and combinations of bars can tell a trader about what institutions are doing. This is critical because the key to making money in trading is to piggyback institutions and you cannot do that unless you understand what the charts are telling you about their behavior. This book will allow you to see what type of trend is unfolding, so can use techniques that are specific to that type of trend to place the right trades. Discusses how to profit from institutional trading trends using technical analysis Outlines a detailed and original trading approach developed over the author's successful career as an independent trader Other books in the series include Price Action Trading Ranges Bar by Bar and Price Action Reversals Bar by Bar If you're looking to make the most of your time in today's markets the trading insights found in Price Action Trends Bar by Bar will help you achieve this goal.
Download or read book The Candidate written by Douglas Manley and published by LMH PUBLISHING LIMITED. This book was released on 2003-09 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE CANDIDATE A stimulating and revealing 'fictional' expose of Jamaica's party politics, as told from the personal PNP perspective of the brother of Michael Manley. Written, as it can only be, by one who knows intimately the hustlings of tribal politics with all its impact on, and connections to, the various facets of civil society - legal and otherwise - you will be tempted as you read, to believe that you can identify some of the individuals and incidents described in this fictional story of Jamaica's seamy, grass root political life. Here for the first time at last, is an expose of the internal workings of how one of the leading political parties in Jamaica faces up to the problems of choosing a candidate for the local government elections. There is the pervasive presence of the sitting Member of Parliament and his management of the Party's structures and procedures. There is the rambunctious, vibrant life of the party workers and how they propose a petition for water which is eventually supported by the community. There is the jostling for position and power by the two men striving to become the party's candidate. There is also the seamier side of scandals, kick backs on road contracts and ganja smuggling. Jamaican politics, in a village, is a smaller, more intimate version of the national political life between and within the two major political parties. This story is told by one who is steeped in the traditions of Jamaican politics, having been born into it and having lived it. About The Author Douglas Manley, Sociologist, University Lecturer, past Member of Parliament, Senator and Minister of Government, son of Norman and Edna Manley and brother of Michael Manley, breathes life into the pages of this delightful novel, which lays bare the machinations of Jamaica's party politics.
Download or read book Maybe Maybe Not written by Robert Fulghum and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2011-03-02 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER I once began a list of the contradictory notions I hold: Look before you leap. He who hesitates is lost. Two heads are better than one. If you want something done right, do it yourself. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Better safe than sorry. Out of sight, out of mind. Absence makes the heart grow fonder. You can't tell a book by its cover. Clothes make the man. Many hands make light work. Too many cooks spoil the broth. You can't teach an old dog new tricks. It's never too late to learn. Never sweat the small stuff. God is in the details. And so on. The list goes on forever. Once I got so caught up in this kind of thinking that I wore two buttons on my smock when I was teaching art. One said, "Trust me, I'm a teacher." The other replied, "Question Authority." [signature] Fulghum

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A female auto mechanic and recovering addict becomes entangled in murder: “There’s no more interesting protagonist in crime fiction” (Chicago Tribune). Miranda “Munch” Mancini has had a tough life—but she’s clean and sober, and back on the straight and narrow. She’s even established her own limo service, though so far her fleet includes only one car. But it’s a start. Times are tough in 1984 Los Angeles, and Munch has an adopted daughter to support, so when a shady federal agent requests her services to ferry around a sleazy diplomat in town for the Olympics, she can’t say no. Then, to help out her old friend Ellen, who’s fresh out of prison, she hands over the driving duties. Trouble is, Ellen disappears with both the car and the client, and now the police are back on Munch’s doorstep. It seems a serial killer is on the loose, and Munch’s client may have been a victim—or the perpetrator . . . This “engrossing” mystery (The Oregonian), a Los Angeles Times bestseller, is “a satisfying novel” full of colorful characters, lethal danger, and international intrigue (Publishers Weekly). “Don’t miss this series.” —Chicago Tribune
Download or read book The Best Jokes and Stories written by Gene Levin and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2003-01-29 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to survey a selection of jokes—classics as well as those making the rounds today—and to provide suggestions on how to tell them effectively. Note: Some of the material is 'salty' because sex is an important part of life and lends itself to humor. Those who wish to develop as raconteurs must have a good stock of stories of different types at hand, in order to contribute to a social gathering, no matter who is present. This collection contains a variety of stories, from the ribald to the most sophisticated, such as 'Beethoven's Ninth' and 'Bohr.' Some—Three Women at the Gates of Heaven—are double-barreled, with two punch lines. I find them all quite amusing.
