Product Description:
For more than two decades, futures traders have turned to the classic Trading Systems and Methods for complete information about the latest, most successful indicators, programs, algorithms, and systems. Now, this newly revised and expanded Third Edition continues that tradition, including many new approaches and covering the latest developments in the continuously evolving equipment and techniques for trading futures markets.
Perry J. Kaufman, a leading futures expert highly respected for his years of experience in research and trading, has thoroughly rewritten and updated his bestselling guide, which remains the most comprehensive and instructional book on trading systems today. This detailed, hands-on manual offers a thorough analysis, using a systematic approach and including explanations of each method of calculation or operation. Kaufman explores both the good and bad features of each trading technique, explaining why a trading system or method works or doesn't work, how to select features that fit the trader's needs best, and how to test a system to achieve a sound trading program.
Since the early '70s, Kaufman has been devoted to futures research, with a particular emphasis on computer applications. He includes computer programs and spreadsheet code to implement each system and method, in addition to the mathematics involved. Where other books fall short, Kaufman's reference makes it possible for traders and analysts to program the systems themselves, changing the programs as they see fit and applying the techniques to their own styles and trading tools.
Trading Systems and Methods continues to be the single best resource for the trader or market analyst who wants to create or choose a successful trading system.

Unique book/disk package helps traders develop and forward-test a high-performance trading system
In trading, a winning system is everything. Without a systematized methodology on which to base their actions, traders quickly succumb to market fear and confusion and watch helplessly as precious profits vanish.

In this book/software package, acclaimed technical trading system developer Tushar Chande shows traders how to develop a winning trading system, and how to test its future performance through computer simulation. The result? Users can paper trade their personal trading system before using it in the real world, accurately estimating how well they can cope with the day-to-day pressures of implementing the system when their capital is at risk and emotions are involved. Disk 1 provides a program enabling users to write a trade plan, create orders, rate their confidence for specific trades, and run P & L statements. Disk 2 is a demo disk for $ecure Trade Management Software.
