Good follow-on spread betting book, and an accessible intro to technical analysis.

While I trade mainly from charts, I'm not the biggest fan of technical analysis. The problem is illustrated nicely in the chapter titled "Indicators" of David Jones' book Spread Betting the Forex Markets: An expert guide to spread betting the foreign exchange markets -- a chapter that contains a chart showing every available technical indicator, which of course makes it impossible to see the wood for the trees.
In the book I'm reviewing here, Malcolm Pryor presents just seven of the more useful (at least to him) technical indicators, and I think that seven is a manageable enough number. The indicators are actually presented not too tecnically, which makes this book a good follow-on book for those relatively new spread bettors who have read The Financial Spread Betting Handbook: The definitive guide to making money trading spread bets, The Naked Trader's Guide to Spread Betting: A guide to making money from shares in up or down markets, or Better Spread Betting. If you want to get into technical analysis in a not-too-technical way, this may be the place to start. The ratio of charts to words is high in this book, which is good for those readers who take the view that a picture paints a thousand words, but you have to take the time to study the charts.
Importantly, Malcolm explains how technical indicators can be used not only to identify potential trades but also to determine the correct placement of protective stop orders (see Stop Orders: A practical guide to using stop orders for traders and investors) on those trades.
If I had one minor criticism, it would be that I would have been tempted to ease the reader in even more gently by presenting the more well-known and easier-to-comprehend "moving averages" and "support / resistance" indicators first, before those for ATR and ADX. But it's nothing to get hung up about.

Another great book from trading nerd Malcolm Pryor.
I've read his other books but not yet bought his dvd, as it's out of my price range.
In his latest offering Malky extols the virtues of 7 of his favourite trading tools.
The sections on Directional Movement, Relative Strength and using ATR to manage stops are great.
He has an interesting way of objectively looking at support and resistance using what he calls 'fractals, nothing to do with multiple time frames though, as I first thought.
The sections on oscillators, momentum and moving averages were a touch light.
At the end of the book Malky takes us through a case study where he brings it all together. This was the best bit of the book for me.
I took away a handful of ideas and methodologies to play with. Well worth the money to hear Malky's take on the tools.

This book contains the in-depth description about 7 tools the author uses. There's a solid money management system and stop loss with the use of the ATR in the first Chapter. I found very interesting the chapters about momentum and the tecnique associated with the entry in a downtrend mode. it resemble "the early bird" tecnique seen in his previous book but this time used in the daily timeframe and has been a bit improved by the use of the fractals or pivot points. The author at the end of each chapter suggests different indicators or different authors to read from.
In short a book that is cheap and full of profitable information about trading.
