Synopses & Reviews
Cycles appear everywhere in life, from the world of nature to the world of economics. Market cycles-one of the few measurable market parameters-come and go, but when measured with a fast-reacting algorithm such as Maximum Entropy Spectrum Analysis (MESA), previously unforeseen trading opportunities suddenly become apparent.
In MESA and Trading Market Cycles, Second Edition, MESA pioneer John F. Ehlers returns to reveal more of the inner workings and hidden mechanisms of MESA-the author's well-known and highly respected computerized trading system-and provides both traders and professional speculators with definitive information on using cyclical analysis to create and execute highly profitable forecasting and trading strategies.
This revised and completely updated resource first validates the existence of market cycles by reviewing the history of cycles and the advances in techniques to measure them. It then profiles the basic characteristics of cycles and fully describes moving averages, momentum functions, and indicators from the cyclical perspective. From here, Ehlers focuses on MESA, explaining how it works, how it compares to the Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT), and how traders can use its high-resolution spectral estimates to consistently pinpoint and exploit market cycles and trends.
MESA and Trading Market Cycles, Second Edition also contains new chapters which provide information that makes MESA a much more powerful tool. Topics within these chapters include:
* The Sinewave Indicator
* The Instantaneous Trendline
* Trading Trend Mode and Cycle Mode
* Making standard indicators adaptive:Commodity Channel Indicator (CCI), Relative Strength Indicator (RSI), and Stochastic Indicator
* Developing highly effective automatic trading systems using MESA-measured cycles
* Stock market systems, along with computer code (EasyLanguage) to implement them
Combining MESA, cycles, and technical analysis, this vital guide shows you-whether you're trading in the stock, options, or futures markets-how to boost the probability of establishing successful trades and profitably increase your bottom line. MESA and Trading Market Cycles introduces you to a new way of thinking that will not only lead to highly effective new indicators, but will also provide you with insights into market activity that you would never have imagined.

Synopsis
MESA and Trading Market Cycles - jetzt neu in der 2. komplett berarbeiteten und aktualisierten Auflage. Dieses Buch macht MESA (Maximum Entropy Spectrum Analysis) - eines der popul rsten Tools der Marktanalyse - einem gr eren Kreis von H ndlern und technischen Analysten zug nglich. Die MESA-Methode basiert auf Analyseverfahren der Wellentheorie und wurde urspr nglich f r Anwendungen in der Elektrotechnik entwickelt. Ende der 70er Jahre setzte John Ehlers die MESA-Methode zur Analyse und Prognose von Marktzyklen ein. Mittlerweile werden MESA-Systeme von technischen Analysten in aller Welt benutzt. F hrende Brokerfirmen leasen diese Systeme und versorgen ihre Kunden mit aktuellen MESA-Signalen und -Charts. In dieser 2. Auflage bringt Ehlers seine MESA-Theorien auf den neuesten Stand und zeigt dem Leser, wie er Systeme zur Trendanalyse entwickeln und dadurch erfolgreicher handeln kann. Mit f nf komplett neuen Kapiteln sowie mit EasyLanguage Programmiercode, der H ndlern den Schritt von der Theorie zur Praxis erleichtert.
Synopsis
Makes one of the most popular tools of market analysis available to a wider audience of traders and technical analysts
Pioneered by John Ehlers in the late 1970s, the MESA method of price pattern analysis uses powerful wave theory analysis techniques, originally developed for the field of electrical engineering, to measure market cycles. MESA systems are currently used by technical analysts the world over. Top brokerages lease them and supply their clients with MESA signals and charts. And MESA systems consistently have been rated #1 by Futures Truth, the consumer reports organization of the futures industry. In this highly anticipated Second Edition of his classic work, Ehlers updates his MESA theories and makes them more accessible to a wider trading audience. Completely revised, featuring five new chapters, this new edition incorporates Ehlers's digital signal processing research into MESA. It also includes EasyLanguage programming code that makes it extremely easy for traders to take the leap from theory to practice.
