Technical analysis expert L.A. Little shows how to identify and trade big market moves

Significant money can be made in the stock market by following big trends. In Trend Qualification and Trading, market technician L.A. Little explains how to identify and qualify these trends to determine the likelihood that they will continue and produce better trading results.

By combining price, volume, different timeframes, and the relationship between the general market, sectors, and individual stocks, Little shows how to measure the strength of stock trends. Most importantly, he demonstrates how to determine if a trend has what it takes to develop into a major move with greater profit potential or if it is basically a false signal.

  • Takes a proven technical approach to identifying and profiting from financial market trends
  • Shows how to best time entries, when to take profits, and when to exit trades
  • Introduces Little's proprietary concept, The Trading Cube, which visually combines time and trend for a given trading instrument
