Markets in Profile explores the confluence of three disparate philosophical frameworks: the Market Profile, behavioral finance, and neuroeconomics in order to present a unified theory of how markets work. The Market Profile is an ever-evolving, multidimensional graphic that gives visual form to the market's continuing auction process, revealing the myriad underlying dynamics that influence market activity. Behavioral finance posits that investors are driven more by emotional factors and the subjective interpretation of minutia than by "rationality" when making investment decisions. And neuroeconomics is the study of how investor psychology permeates and affects the financial markets. Mr. Dalton explicates the ways in which irrational human behavior influences the market's natural auction process, creating frequently predictable market structure, which results in opportunities for investors to ameliorate risk. The book will improve investors ability to interpret change in markets, enabling better, more confident investment decisions.

"The Market Profile continues to revolutionize futures market analysis. By organizing price and time into a usable format, the Market Profile provides extraordinary insights into the dynamics of the marketplace. Indeed, through the prism of the profile, many traders feel they can actually "read" the market." "Unfortunately, the process of translating Market Profile analysis into profitable trades has been difficult for many traders - at least until now. Value-Based Power Trading brings to life the dormant potential of the Market Profile, providing traders with an explicit, rule-based system that utilizes the insights afforded by the profile to generate consistently profitable trading signals." "In this important new book, Donald Jones demonstrates how his patented Overlay Demand Curve TM integrates data into a "super profile" which identifies the market's structure and condition. The "super profile" shows what the market's principal players are doing, where value exists, and provides traders with the ability to interpret market behavior as it unfolds." "Jones explains how to spot critical "reference points" that define the market's long-term condition. Once the reference points are clear, a trader can plot strategy in an objective, unambiguous manner." "Unlike previous books on the Market Profile, Value-Based Power Trading explains how to analyze the market from both a long-term and short-term perspective. It shows how to recognize market turning points and it provides traders with precise strategies to profit from major market moves." "Jones provides systems for day trading, breakout trading and responsive trading. He shows how to choose the right strategy for any given market situation. Most importantly, he proves the profitability of his systems by subjecting them to real-market tests. The shift from price-based, technical analysis to value-based, Market Profile analysis is a revolution in the making. Value-Based Power Trading may very well mark a culmination of that revolution."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved

Richard W. Schabacker's great work, Technical Analysis and Stock Market Profits, is a worthy addition to any technical analyst's personal library or any market library. His "pioneering research" represents one of the finest works ever produced on technical analysis, and this book remains an example of the highest order of analytical quality and incisive trading wisdom. Originally devised as a practical course for investors, it is as alive, vital and instructional today as the day it was written. It paved the way for Robert Edwards and John Magee's best-selling Technical Analysis of Stock Trends - a debt which is acknowledged in their foreword: 'Part One is based in large part on the pioneer researches and writings of the late Richard Schabacker.'Schabacker presents technical analysis as a totally organized subject and comprehensively lays out the various important patterns, formations, trends, support and resistance areas, and associated supporting technical detail. He presents factors that can be confidently relied on, and gives equal attention to the blemishes and weaknesses that can upset the best of analytical forecasts: Factors which investors would do well to absorb and apply when undertaking the fascinating game of price, time and volume analysis.
