Anyone from any level can benefit from this book as it deals with strategies in simple terms. What will the reader gain?You will learn how to code a wide array of strategies from different fields, understand how to back-test them, and how to properly evaluate their performance. This should help the reader find and optimize other strategies through the ones discovered here.What is the bias of this book?This book follows a neutral bias and only presents results from strategies with no concrete conclusion made on their effectiveness as we will only be testing a few assets over similar time frames and thus, no real interpretation can be made.What level of knowledge does the reader need to follow this book?A basic knowledge of trading and coding is helpful but not really needed. There will be an introductory python section to present the needed functions and syntaxes, there will also be sections where we explain exactly what we're doing, so, even if the reader has no prior knowledge in trading and coding, she will quickly pick up the required knowledge.What types of strategies should the reader expect?From simple technical strategies to complex ones, we will try to back-test as many as we can. We will then do the same for some fundamental strategies on different asset classes. Next, we will back-test some machine learning strategies on currencies and stocks. Lastly, we will discover some pattern recognition trading strategies.

Download or read book Trading with Candlesticks written by Michael C. Thomsett and published by FT Press. This book was released on 2010-08-04 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traders who use charts to time their moves rely on strong and clear signals. Unfortunately, price levels and traditional technical indicators alone aren't always reliable. There is a solution: candlestick signs, moves, and patterns. When these visual signs of reversal or continuation are integrated with other signals, they provide the strongest possible entry and exit timing: both the signal and the means for confirming it. In this easy-to-use book, renowned trader Michael C. Thomsett demystifies candlesticks and shows active traders exactly how to use them. In Trading with Candlesticks, Thomsett explains how each leading candlestick works, how they appear, and how to interpret them to discover emerging price moves and trend reversals, as well as confirmations of existing trends. Trading with Candlesticks shows dozens of examples of candlestick signs, moves and patterns in action, explaining them not in isolation, but as part of broader, developing price trends on real stock charts. Thomsett also discusses failed signals, and offers guidelines for identifying the likely impending failure or success of each pattern. While no investing approach is 100% foolproof, Thomsett's system for recognizing candlestick signals and confirming them with other technical signs makes technical analysis more accurate than it's ever been before.
