Product Description

Product Description

Unique book/disk package helps traders develop and forward–test a high–performance trading system

In trading, a winning system is everything. Without a systematized methodology on which to base their actions, traders quickly succumb to market fear and confusion and watch helplessly as precious profits vanish. And while it is theoretically possible to buy a "canned" trading system, most experts agree that the best system is proprietary to each trader—developed, implemented, and tested by the individual to suit his or her exact requirements.

In this book/software package, acclaimed technical trading system developer Tushar Chande shows traders how to develop a winning trading system, and how to test its future performance through computer simulation. The result? Users can "paper trade" their personal trading system before using it in the real world, accurately estimating how well they can cope with the day–to–day pressures of implementing the system when their capital is at risk and emotions are involved. Disk 1 provides a program enabling users to write a trade plan, create orders, rate their confidence for specific trades, and run P & L statements. Disk 2 is a demo disk for $ecure Trade Management Software.

TUSHAR CHANDE (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) contributes to Technical Analysis of Stocks & Commodities magazine and is the author of The New Technical Trader (Wiley).



From the Inside Flap

Beyond Technical Analysis A bulletproof trading system is essential for trading success. You also need an effective system for trading to implement that trading system consistently. Otherwise, your trading experience will be stressful at best and insanely inconsistent at worst. Though you can always get a "canned" black–box trading system, few traders ever stick with them for long: experts agree that the ideal system for each trader is unique to his or her trading style—proprietary systems created by the individual. Now acclaimed system developer Tushar Chande shows you how to create "real–world" systems that meet your trading needs. A stimulating mix of cutting–edge techniques, timeless principles, and practical guidelines, Beyond Technical Analysis offers a comprehensive methodology to develop and implement your own system, bridging the gap between analysis and execution. Chande begins with a crucial first step: assessing your trading beliefs. As he points out, "Your beliefs about price action must be at the core of your trading system. This allows the trading system to reflect your personality, and you are more likely to succeed with such a system over the long run." Once you’ve pinpointed your beliefs, you can then build effective systems around them. To help you construct and use these systems, Chande starts with the basics and ends at the state of the art. With easy–to–read charts and numerous examples, Chande explores the following: Foundations: diagnosing market trends, the perils of optimization, setting initial stops, selecting data, choosing orders, and understanding the summary test results New systems: trend following, pattern–based, trend/anti–trend, inter–market, filtered and extraordinary market opportunity systems, plus variations Equity curve analysis: measuring smoothness, portfolio strategies, monthly equity curves, and triggering effects Money management: risk of ruin, projecting drawdowns, changing bet size Data scrambling: a new method to generate synthetic data for testing A system for trading: starting, risk control, compliance, full traceability To foster consistent execution, Beyond Technical Analysis provides software that enables you to "paper trade" your system. A demo disk of Chande’s $ecure trade management software and data scrambling utility will let you test your system on "true" out–of–sample data and track your emotions and P&L as you transition the system from computer table to trading desk. A complete, concise, and thorough reference, Beyond Technical Analysis takes you step–by–step through the intricacies of customized system design, from initial concept through actual implementation.

3.0 out of 5 stars Goes Beyond the Average Book, 12 Nov 1998
By A Customer
Chande goes beyond the average book on technical analysis to some of the most important topics of trading. Unfortunately, he is stuck in an old paradigm of one contract/market at a time. As a result, his conclusions are not at all accurate. This is a disappointment because he really is trying to take the trader to the next level. Interesting, but be careful of the results.

5.0 out of 5 stars Book Includes Risk Of Ruin Tables For 2% And 1.5% -- Valuable Information, 22 Mar 2009
I read this book a while back, on the recommendation of Bennett McDowell who wrote "A Trader's Money Management System"

A Trader's Money Management System: How to Ensure Profit and Avoid the Risk of Ruin (Wiley Trading)

This book is an effective book on getting you to analyze your risk, and he even gives you the 1-1/2% and 2% risk of ruin tables to do that. Nice of him to do the programming so that we can determine which is the right risk amount to take on each trade at the lower end of the percentage scale.

His equity curve chapters are also important in helping to shed light on how to look at performance in a meaningful way. This is one of the most useful books available today -- in a sea of not so useful books. It's really worth adding to your library.
