More About This Title An End to the Bull
English
Strategies for successful trading analysis for all markets are out there, but they're not often found in books for the general public. So what are the secrets that professional traders know, but aren't willing to share? An End to the Bull: Cut Through the noise to Develop A Sustainable Trading Career is a robust, honest resource that presents an alternative approach to the markets, combining traditional technical tools with fundamental analysis, behavioral finance, and other key concepts to enrich readers' trading knowledge. The author's comprehensive, educated look at the topic fills a huge need in the trading community, and is ideal both for novices and experienced traders.
In An End to the Bull, Norden suggests that total reliance on traditional technical analysis can lead to failure, and has ended in disappointment for many. The book offers up a unique approach for anyone looking to establish a sustainable trading career based on a combination of the most tried-and-true methods. While it focuses especially on trading in Australia, the book is a useful resource for international traders at all levels.
- Explains why change is needed in trading analysis and presents a revolutionary approach used by successful professional traders
- Shares the core techniques and strategies to build knowledge and establish a business-minded attitude
- Discusses more advanced ideas crucial for all traders, including understanding volatility and the typical flaws of behavioral finance
- Gives solid advice for traders anywhere in the world
An End to the Bull takes the mystery out of trading analysis and puts the power to navigating markets into the hands of readers.

Gary Norden has been trading for over 25 years. He started his trading career at the age of just 18 trading equity derivatives and was the youngest ever trader in the firm’s history. He went on to enjoy a successful career as a trader in the City of London. At the age of 23 he became Head of LIFFE Options for NatWest Markets and he later held senior trading positions at Credit Lyonnais Rouse and ING Financial Markets.
Gary has also spent many years trading futures and options with his own capital both in the trading pits of LIFFE and on computerised markets.
Since moving to Australia in 2003 Gary has developed an international reputation as a financial markets consultant, trading mentor and as an author.
Gary’s first book, Technical Analysis and the Active Trader was published in 2005 and reveals the unreliability of technical analysis. Bedrock technical analysis assumptions were exposed as little more than poorly performing rules of thumb. The book was also translated into Chinese and Korean. Gary has written for publications and websites worldwide including Your Trading Edge, Stocks and Commodities, www.trade2win.com and www.bullbearings.co.uk.
Gary is driven by a love of trading and a desire to help newcomers gain access to a more professional standard of information and education. He pulls no punches with his attacks on parts of the financial industry that he believes lead traders down the wrong path.
