A framework for creating volatility-based technical analysis and trading it for profit
Volatility-Based Technical Analysis bridges the advantage gap between resource rich institutions and individual traders. It is a no-calculus, plain-English text that reveals original, highly technical, mathematical-based volatility indicators, complete with MetaStock(r) and TradeStation(r) code. With this in hand, any trader can "trade the invisible" by seeing a hidden mathematical structure on the price chart. Author Kirk Northington reveals his proprietary volatility indicators that serve as a market early warning system. Northington extensively teaches you how to build your own indicators, test them, and incorporate your original components into your specific trading methods.
* Walks traders through the mathematical techniques needed to create indicators that fit their own style
* Illustrates volatility-based entries and exits with over 170 descriptive chart examples
* Introduces two new concepts in technical analysis: Volatility Shift and PIV
Written with the serious trader in mind, Volatility-Based Technical Analysis has what you need to successfully trade today's institutionally dominated markets.

"While the book is written in an easy to understand style, Northington realizes that not every trader is a programmer. For that reason, he includes the MetaStock(r) and TradeStation(r) code for the original, volatility-based indicators that he presents in the book. With these examples in hand, any trader can apply the concepts which are explained in rich detail. Northington's goal seems to be to teach the reader how to build indicators based upon unique market insights; test the indicators on a stand-alone basis; and incorporate meaningful indicators into trading methods that suit a trader's personality. In doing so, he also provides a ready-to-go trading system that can be applied with days of beginning the book." (Market Technicians Association Technically Speaking, September 2009)
"Northington presents a credible framework for trading volatile markets. His creativity and advocacy merit attention. New and advanced traders alike will benefit from grasping these concepts."
