Product Description

Traders caught at the crossroads of traditional, proven, trading techniques - and new online tools and methods - have struggled to find a way of blending the two together into a unified trading system. Now, the marriage of the methods is complete, and brought into sharp focus in New Frontiers in Fibonacci Trading. This groundbreaking new work combines the foundations of Fibonacci trading with classic charting techniques, modern applications, and cutting edge online analysis tools.

Author Michael Jardine is a dedicate student of the markets, and active trader and founder of Enthios.com - a free web site offering an open exchange of trading ideas and a wealth of technical trading tools which he's made accessible to all investors. His years in the trading trenches - and the feedback he gets regularly from his Enthios.com trading community - has taught him the most practical ways to apply time-tested methods to an ever-changing market.

Michael has gone beyond his role as "student" of the markets - becoming a gifted teacher in the process. He has not only mastered traditional charting and timing techniques - he's developed new methods of his own by adopting Fibonacci fundamentals to the online trading arena in which today's trader must operate for maximum advantage. He's broken down his process into an understandable 5-part "system" which encompasses…
- The Building Blocks of Price Action - market structures, retracement patterns and Fibonacci basics
- Practical Fibonacci Applications - featuring original new applications explained in simple terms
- "ChartWorks" - a comprehensive charting section featuring indicators, case-study trades, chart-reading tips - and more
- Building Good Trading Habits - 3 key steps for making rational, unemotional decisions and maintaining a steady, clear-headed focus throughout the trading day - even when the market is giving off mixed messages
- Enthios RealTime - Puts all the pieces together, and introduces new methods that form the core of his own propriety "Objective Method Trading System"

In layman's terms, providing the guidance of a thoughtful, patient teacher, Michael presents concepts you can easily implement. Including:
- How to enter and exit a trade with limited risk
- New and original Fibonacci methods that have evolved with the advent of online, real-time trading
- Jardine's 3 Laws of Successful Trading
- How to execute a trade when the signals are mixed or conflicting - rather than under "model" conditions
- Developing a system that does not require you to predict how the market will perform - or worry about when the breakout will occur.

With detailed charts and graphics throughout, each chapter illustrates real trading situations, setups, and solutions. Michael has fused cherished trading concepts and Fibonacci basics with his own experiences in online, real-time trading. The result is a thorough new primer that shows you how to trade with greater success - on a consistent basis.

almost an excellent fibonacci trading book
if you are looking for 230 pages worth of wisdom on how the fibonacci numbers can be used to help in your trading, you may be slightly disappointed. this is also a book more suitable for day trading.

only the first 9 chapters (100 pages) of this book deals with fibonacci numbers, and how we use this magical series to help in our trading decisions. however, these 9 chapters is so well written and so full of good information, that anyone who wants to learn more about how we can make use of fibonacci numbers to trade should be more than happy witht the materials provided.

the rest of the book, however, does not talk about trading with fibonacci. instead, the author tells you various (and there are quite a few!) methods you can use to achieve success in trading. although they are not of the fibanacci nature, these are pretty useful and worthwhile to read and learn. especially for day traders.

in the last 130 pages or so, the author shares with you his methods, and how best to use them. he also introduced a website he manages and teaches you how to make use of some of the methods available in the website. although part of the website is free, the important ones are for subscribers. so there is some subtle advertising here for his website.

this book is concise and very well written. it is extremely easy to read and understand; each chapter kept short so that the entire book is not tedious at all. i am sure any trader will be able to learn something new and useful from this book.

the only reason i'm giving only 4 stars out of 5 is because less than half the book is about what the title suggests; a book about fibonacci trading. however, the non-fibanacci stuff is so useful, and the book so well written, it's worth half a star at least. so i'd give it 4.5 stars if i could, subtle advertising of his website notwithstanding.

A good book about Fibonacci trading
This is a solid 4-star book. I thought that I would learn something new about trading Fib levels, unfortunately no - most of the techniques are discused on the forums or are writted by Dinapoli or Fischer. But anyway, all the information is relevant and can be applied to real life trading, and the author adds some more trading tips and strategies.

Fibonnaci Primer
I wanted to understand how to use Fibonacci in my trading, as well as when not to use it. Michael Jardine does a solid job of conveying the information a beginner to Fibonacci would want to know. I am sure there are better and more indepth Fibonacci trading books, but I dont believe that you could manage to keep the information accessible to new and early traders AND show how it is used, whilst going to the deep end of the pool regarding some of the uses for Fibonacci. At the end of the day, Traders, specifically commodities traders, want the ability to do technical analysis and technical forecasting to know when to 'get in' and when to 'get out' of a trade. Michael Jardine provides a solid basis for an early trader to gain knowledge and methods on how to do that through the use of Fibonacci. Please keep in mind however, that many of the trades that Mr. Jardine executes in this book are what I would term 'scalping' and require a much more precise hand at executing trades and much more 'nerve' to practice regularly then what other trading books teach. I would recommend this book to a new student of Trading, but only insofar as it is one of a dozen other books.
