  This is a study of one of the most important tools for helping to predict the future movement of share prices - technical analysis. Institutional and private investor alike now consider it indispensible for giving information on price movements in the short term as well as indicating the accurate timing of buying and selling - essential in the traded options market. The reader is taken through various market indicators, with worked examples of UK options and indices. Trends, speed lines, triangles, moving averages, golden crosses, bar charts, momentum, stochastics, relative strength, volume, point and figure charts and many other indicators are covered, including a chapter on Gann. In addition, the book explores software systems which have resulted in enhanced performance. Finally, the practical application in the traded options market is covered, with trading practices and the actual mechanics explained. Each aspect is explained thoroughly with actual chart references of UK stocks and indices (some 200 illustrations) and the author demonstrates how observations and recommendations were made and how they actually perform.
