摘要:Pattern recognition is what technical analysis is all about. When patterns (pennants, double bottoms, head-and-shoulders, etc.) are recognized for what they are, trading becomes much more effective and profitable. The problem is that recognizing valid patterns is much harder to do in practice than in theory. Pattern Recognition and Trading Decisions shows how to recognize the many types of patterns that exist, and also how to distinguish a genuine pattern from a misleading one. What separates this book from many other books on technical analysis is that the author shows how to verify a pattern using several different and statistically independent perspectives, thus increasing the likelihood that the pattern is valid. Once a pattern is recognized and verified, trading decisions become more certain, leading to easier and more effective trading. Verification from several perspectives requires a broad awareness of many techniques of technical analysis, and the author covers this diversity quite effectively by supplying an overview of a variety of trading decision tools and methods. In the overview, the author covers the basic knowledge of most commonly used trading methods.; This is a simple, "how to" book that avoids difficult math and shows readers how to implement market knowledge (i.e., pattern recognition) in a decision making environment. Case studies and examples show how to apply pattern recognition to specific trading situations. Topics covered include: - The value of multiple independent methods - The significance of specific trading indicators - How to read a market through trading patterns - How to take advantage of "failed" patterns - Problem of adapting to changing markets Pattern Recognition and Trading Decisions is dynamic in nature.
