The Currency Trader's Companion

A Visual Approach To Technical Analysis of Forex Markets

Syzygy Publishing, Inc., Copyright © 2004

The authors have compiled an exhaustive single-volume compendium of currency-specific analytical studies. They examine the 21 most frequently traded currency pairs in extreme detail using Activity, Range, Volatility, Direction and Beta Indicators to evaluate pair selection and market entry timing (both time of day and day of week studies are examined). They have introduced several new concepts such as Activity, Direction and the Mundo, a synthetic world currency against which all other currencies can be compared. One salient feature of this book is its numerous charts and tables drawn from a vast historical database extending back to the early 1970s up through the current date. A new approach to arbitrage is also included plus studies on the correlation between currency prices and precious metals. Quarterly and semiannual updates are tentatively planned which will focus on specific currency pairs, indicators and chart patterns. Chart-intensive. 11x8.5 inch format, continuous coil binding, 206 pages.

Point & Figure Chartist's Companion: The Computer-Side Reference for Currency Traders and Analysts

First Edition, March 2005

Michael D. Archer and James L. Bickford
Syzygy Publishing, Inc.

We examine in detail the P&F reversal algorithm and its triggering mechanism. This includes a method for 'unraveling' the standard OHLC quotes into a stream of closes-only quotes. The basic principles of P&F charting for stock market issues are very similar to Forex currencies. One major difference lies in the selection of the user-supplied algorithm parameters: Box Size and Reversal Amount. Our goal was to provide a viable hands-on reference guide that can be used by session and day traders while working in their online trading platforms with live tick data moving across the computer monitor. Of course, this does not exclude investors who trade longer periods of time, since the underlying concepts still apply. Chart-intensive. 11x8.5 inch format, continuous coil binding, 130 pages.

In this volume, we have investigated in detail such classical concepts as Fibonacci Ratios, Retracement, the Measured Move and the Fifty Percent Principle. Wave and cycle analyses are also examined in depth and in the later chapters we delve deeply into the mathematics of swing analysis. The chapter on cycle frequencies informs readers of the most likely swing patterns that will follow a selected predecessor pattern. Of special interest are the results of overlaying two swing charts on a single set of raw data and their interaction. Chart-intensive. 11x8.5 inch format, continuous coil binding.
