Active Trend Trading is designed for the trader/private investor looking for an effective tool for trading successfully in uncertain markets. The book builds on the long-established and popular trend-trading approach by explaining the author's unique 'Hawkeye System' and exploring the concept of Active Trend Trading. The book explains how to use volume calculations to determine when to enter and exit a trade, and how to spot and profit from both 'up' and 'down' trends. As well as providing strategies and tools of crucial use to the trader, the book also addresses the growing dissatisfaction among private investors with traditional passive asset management strategies - the author's system can be used successfully by the individual investor looking to incorporate some of the tools of the short-term trader to move more quickly with changing and volatile markets. As well as detailed guidance on the Active Trend Trading approach, the authors offer advice on trading/investing psychology and Nigel Hawkes outlines his experience as both investor and trader. The book also briefly explains how to use the technical indicators built into the author's Hawkeye software (1-month trial included on CD).
