Download or read book THINK LIKE A WHALE TRADE AS A SHARK written by George Protonotarios and published by GEORGE PROTONOTARIOS. This book was released on with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are three important conditions to trade successfully in any financial market: a strong fundamental landscape, a nice market structure, and an accurately-measured trading range. If fundamentals agree, and the market structure has proven itself, knowing the trading range is the only thing you need. This book contains a wide variety of technical analysis methods and techniques in order to help investors recognize market structure in early stages, identify support and resistance, and accurately measure the trading range. However, the complex world of financial trading is a zero-sum game. Someone has to lose in order for someone else to make a profit. And as there are a few people making a lot of money, there are a lot of others who lose constantly. This is why clever investors always add a contrarian flavor to their decision-making process, and most of the time, trade against the public sentiment. All financial asset classes follow a similar pattern that starts with fear and ends with greed. Smart traders enter the market when the fear of retail traders pushes prices below their ‘fair value’ and sell when the retail greed pushes prices well above their ‘fair value.’ This never-ending circle between fear and greed creates numerous opportunities for patient traders. On a macro scale, fundamental analysis is the perfect tool for identifying the ‘fair value’ of a financial asset and measure risk. Risk and reward are the two crucial inputs of any investment decision. In addition, technical analysis is useful for the identification of price trends and the optimization of entries in the market. Professional traders use both these analysis methods in their decision-making process. They use fundamental analysis to decide what to buy and technical analysis to decide when to buy. To summarize this concept in just one phrase, always think like a fundamentalist investor when deciding what to buy and act as a technician trader when entering the market. Think like a whale and trade as a shark. Successful trading requires a strong personality and a character that will allow you to trade without fear and greed. Weak hands lose money in the long-run. The stronger your character, the stronger your hands. If you want to be a successful trader, start by building your character, something that cannot be easily taught. CHAPTERS This book covers a wide range of fundamental resources and technical analysis techniques in order to help investors seek proof in the right place. Any successful trading decision must have a fundamental background. Chapter 1 begins with the basics of fundamental analysis when trading equities, Forex currencies, and cryptocurrencies. The main goal of studying fundamentals is to identify investment opportunities. Opportunity can be defined as the difference between the current price of an asset and its real value. Fundamental analysis can recognize risk and reward, the two most crucial inputs of the decision-making process. In Chapters, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, you will find various technical analysis methods with many examples and charts. Trading charts can be read significantly easier than raw data. Reading charts is useful not only for identifying key trends but also for recognizing major support and resistance levels. Furthermore, you will learn how to use moving averages, RSI, the Fibonacci Numbers, the Fibonacci Retracement, and the definition of the long-term trend in any financial market. By combining all these different technical analysis tools, you will be able to recognize any market conditions, identify strong trends, spot the potential levels of a trend reversal, but most importantly accurately measure the trading range. In Chapter 7, you will learn about the role of market volatility and its importance for managing risk and achieving portfolio diversification. How to use the Bollinger Bands and ATR when trading indices, and Beta when trading individual stocks. In addition, you will learn about the VIX Index and its ability to predict a financial crisis, but also how to use options contracts to spot incoming market volatility. Finally, you will learn about the basics of Foreign Exchange and cryptocurrency volatility. In Chapter 8, you will find information about seasonality statistics and seasonal patterns. Seasonality refers to a time period in which market data tends to experience common and predictable behavior. Whenever a seasonal pattern has been repeated regularly, it becomes statistically significant. However, seasonality reflects an average reliance on past market data. That means seasonal patterns provide a window of opportunity and not an independent forecasting framework. A seasonal pattern can be any price pattern correlated to a particular month, quarter, or semester. You will be able to find seasonal patterns for Dow Jones Industrial, three popular currency pairs (EURUSD, GBPUSD, and USDJPY), and two key cryptocurrency pairs (Bitcoin and Ethereum against the US dollar). In Chapter 9, you will learn about market sentiment. The market sentiment refers to the views, opinions, and expectations of investors toward the future market conditions. It is very important to distinguish between the experts’ sentiment that you should trade in line with it and the public sentiment, that you should generally trade against it. The greatest trading opportunities in life are against the general public sentiment. You will learn also about the Fear & Greed index, the Overnight Repo Rate, the Perpetual Contracts, and how to use the Commitment of Traders (COT) report. If there is one golden rule when investing, it’s to always diversify your investment decisions. This rule is applicable in every aspect of our life. In Chapter 10, you will learn about money management. Money management refers to the process of achieving risk control over your portfolio by eliminating the unnecessary risk, and it is a key ingredient of long-term trading success. You will learn about market correlations, cross-market connections, position-sizing, the 2% rule, the Reward/Risk Ratio, the Win Ratio, and why you should always trade small account sizes. By combining the information and tools presented in this book you have the opportunity to better understand the mechanics of the global financial markets and significantly increase your odds of winning in the long-run. Success is all about education and building the right character. The more educated you become the stronger your character when others are greedy, and the stronger your hands when others are fearful.

The study of the GBP/USD pair will help readers understand the importance of determining periods of market uncertainty in a timely fashion.To demonstrate the flexibility of the strategy settings and the formation of short-term uncertainty periods, the EUR/USD pair is shown on five-minute charts in one working day on May 31. For nine hours of work, the result was approximately + 82% of the initial deposit.The month following the first book's «Trading Code is Open: ST Patterns of the Forex and Futures Exchanges» publication perfectly demonstrated the possibilities of using the trading system and showed how almost half of the ST Patterns published in this book operate in practice. The analysis, based on accurate calculations, will help traders consolidate the acquired knowledge, and to increase their own skills with Structural Target Patterns.Over the 18 years I have spent researching dozens of well-known, as well as not so famous, trading systems, I have not found any that could demonstrate anything near the results obtained by the ST Patterns trading method during this arbitrarily chosen time interval.
