Markets & Momentum: How Profiling Gives Traders an Advantage

Elevate your trading strategy with actionable market insights from an industry pioneer

In Markets & Momentum: How Profiling Gives Traders an Advantage, James F. Dalton dramatically expands on his first revolutionary book, Markets in Profile. Summarizing six decades of experience--from formative memberships on the CBOE and CBOT to his role as UBS Director of Hedge Fund Research--Dalton challenges traders to recognize that self-understanding must be balanced with market-understanding.

Dalton and his partners, Jennifer Loh and Raghu Rajput, continue to promote education explains the foundational elements of market understanding through the only reliable and objective source of actionable trading information: the market itself. You'll discover how to begin your investing journey with a clean slate, focusing only on the information that truly matters. Or, if you're already a trader, you'll learn how to level-up your skills in a discipline with little room for error.

This book offers:

• Deep dives into issues that lead more than 90% of day traders to lose money, including fading trend days, FOMO, doubling down on losing trades, and failing to let profits run.
• Strategies for minimizing the influence of news hype and analysis overload in order to remain focused on the only information that matters.
• Techniques for understanding your own emotional and intuitive reactions, and learning to avoid making unexamined, impulsive decisions.

This book is ideal for day and short-term traders, and for longer-term investors seeking to improve trade entries and exits. Dalton's trading insights are supported by six decades of learning directly from markets, as well as from his base of educational clients.

Markets & Momentum: How Profiling Markets Gives Trades an Advantage is a must-read for traders looking for guidance on developing the insights and skills necessary for conquering the short-term market.
