Market Structure

A Practical Guide for the Short-Term Trader

To the untrained eye, market movements seem random and disorderly. However, you can learn to impose a structure on these movements which can help you forecast future price movements.  And potentially profit from them.

Market Structure, a new e-book by Nigel Bahadur, teaches you how to view price movement in a structured manner. Areas covered include rigid and absolute determination of trend, how to spot AND capitalize on trend reversals, breakout trades, multiple time-frame analysis and more.

Ten valuable lessons the beginning and experienced trader will both appreciate

You will learn how to:

  • Impose a general structure on any market
  • Filter out “noise” to see the bigger picture
  • Evaluate with certainty whether a market is in an uptrend, downtrend, or range/noise environment
  • Identify whether or not a particular trading opportunity is to be played for a scalp or held for a bigger win (for trades that are winners since, obviously, not all trades will be winning trades)
  • Objectively identify risk points
  • Objectively trail a stop when playing for a larger win (or to minimize losses on losing trades)
  • Effectively use multiple timeframe analysis
  • Discard almost all indicators that are simply derivatives of price, and use pure price movement for trading
  • Make better use of common price or indicator patterns when initiating or exiting trades

Monthly Updates

Most trading books are static - they reflect the environment, research and thought process of the author at the time they were written.  This book is different.  The author has committed to providing frequent updates to the material.

The charts and examples used in the book will be updated on a frequent basis.  Additional chapters could be added as well.  Unlike the experience of purchasing a static hard-copy book, the on-line version of the book will always be up to date including new chapters, code examples, charts etc.

The current goal is to provide at least two updates twice a year.  These updates will be FREE to customers that purchase the online version of the book.  New charts, new explanations, additional examples and new code are some of the items that will be added or updated.  Over time this book will morph into the perfect reference for your trading since many updates will be based on questions and suggestions from readers.

Further, every month (sometimes as often as once a week), a newsletter is written that uses the techniques in the book to analyze current markets and to reflect on recent occurrences where the techniques would have been useful. If you are looking for recent examples or ongoing education, you should subscribe to this product.
