Cover of Larry Pesavento & Leslie Jouflas: Trade What You See (ePUB)
Trading the financial markets is extremely difficult, but with the
right approach, traders can achieve success. Nobody knows this
better than authors Larry Pesavento and Leslie Jouflas, both
traders and educators of traders, who have consistently used
pattern recognition to capture profits from the markets. In
Trade What You See, Pesavento and Jouflas show traders how
to identify patterns as they are developing and exactly where to
place entry and exit orders. While some patterns derive from the
techniques of Wall Street’s earliest traders and other
patterns reflect Pesavento’s emphasis on the geometry of
market movements and Fibonacci numbers.. Filled with hard-won
knowledge gained through years of market experience, Trade What
You Seeoutlines both a practical and sophisticated approach to
trading that will be of interest to both novice and seasoned
traders alike.
