Top-Down Technicals

Short-term goals are good; but when it comes to navigating the financial market, you need to learn how to see the big picture.

"Top-Down Technicals," written by Arun S. Chopra, CFA, CMT, as an extension of the methodologies used in his web services, is a compact guide that reveals the need-to-know benefits of long-term trading strategies.

Rather than simply offering general technical information, the author structures his book around real-world examples from the last one hundred years, providing charts and in-depth explanations of key continuation and turning points in the capital markets. It is this approach that sets his book apart from the rest.

Readers see for themselves how long-term strategies can be used to enhance their investment processes. And, though the book presumes a certain level of knowledge because of its clear visuals and explanations, this technical guide is even accessible to individuals who consider themselves novices in the financial field.

A great aid for portfolio managers, as well as an introduction to the next level for students interested in the financial industry, this is a well-crafted manual that, when paired with the web service, gives you a historical perspective of the market and a foundational understanding of trading long term. Consider it a leg up on the competition.
