High Probability Trading Strategies Entry to Exit Tactics by Robert C. Miner

Entry to Exit Tactics for the Forex, Futures, and Stock Markets
John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

 

This book is unique. Unlike most trading books, it will teach you a complete trading plan from entry to exit. Not a few well-chosen examples of isolated trade setups and strategies, but exactly how to recognize optimal trade conditions, objective entry strategies with the exact entry and exit price, and how to manage the trade with stop-loss adjustments to the trade exit.
The majority of trading books focus on a few techniques and show a plethora of carefully chosen examples to support whatever is being taught. Some of the phrases often used are “You could have bought around here or taken profit around here”; “depending on whether you are a conservative or aggressive trader, you could do . …(this or that)”; “markets usually fluctuate around the volatility band, which is a good place to buy or sell”; and lots more nonspecific statements.

Brokers don’t take orders “around this or that price level.” They only take specific price orders. There is no such thing as a conservative or aggressive trader. There are only traders who either follow a trading plan or don’t. To maybe do this or that “around” a volatility band or any other indicator or chart position is not a trade strategy. A trade strategy is a specific action to take, including the specific buy and sell price. In other words, worthwhile instruction will teach you exactly what to do and how and when to do it.
While many trading books do teach some useful specific trading techniques or at least provide some ideas to explore, it is very unusual for a book or any other type of trading course to teach exactly what to do, from how to recognize a trading opportunity, to the exact entry and stop price, and how to manage the trade until it is closed out.
That is what this book does. It will teach you a high probability trade plan with specific strategies from entry to exit. Most important, it will teach you how to think about the four key factors of momentum, pattern, price, and time; how to recognize what is useful and relevant market information that can be used to make a specific trade decision; and then how to execute the trade decisions from entry to exit.

The trade strategies you will learn in this book may be used for any actively traded market and any time frame. Stocks, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), futures, and Forex examples are used. The same market structure is made day in and day out in all of these markets and in all time frames, from monthly to intraday data. If an example is not a market or time frame you typically trade, ignore the symbol and focus on what is to be learned. The strategy taught will apply to all markets and time frames.
