Market-Neutral Trading is a low-risk hedging strategy with strong consistent returns in volatile markets. The best part is that it only takes a little time each week with little monitoring. In this book, You’ll discover the easiest automated tools to build and adjust your stock portfolio–without wasting hours scanning through endless charts and financial reports.
Introduction:
There are many ways to trade stocks. Some traders rely exclusively on technical analysis. Each night, they scan through hundreds of price charts, searching for just the right combination of technical indicators and price patterns. They run their preset technical scans, isolating stocks making pullbacks, breakouts, relief rallies, and consolidations.
They check watch lists of charts for candlestick formations, moving average crossovers, and indicator to price divergence. They scroll up to the weekly chart then down to the hourly chart, making sure there is nothing in either the macro or micro picture that would hinder their technical assessment. This book teaches a better way.
This book will teach you seven strategic methods for building a winning portfolio of stocks without having to rely exclusively on either of the previously mentioned research methods. Our approach is to combine the two. We have found that technical and fundamental analyses, long thought to be independent disciplines, complement each other’s effectiveness when integrated into the same trading system.
Furthermore, we have found that the ideal way to manage such systems is to use the volatility-reducing, returns-enhancing power of bidirectional positioning (i.e., being long and short the market at the same time). The trading systems taught in this book are thus structured in this two-fold, market-neutralizing way: They utilize both technical and fundamental analysis, and they come in two versions, long and short. They are also fully automated, taking advantage of preprogrammed scanning services for true ease of use.

I read many books regarding trading, but when I read [Dr. Carr’s] Trend Trading for a Living, it became a must reference on my trading bookshelf. Market-Neutral Trading is another must-have book for the serious trader. Dr. Carr is again revealing new tradingtools to navigate the ever-changing world of trading markets.

All of Tom Carr’s books are good and this one was no exception. Great wisdom on combining fundamental and technical trading plus being long and short to neutralize risk.

It’s a theory that doesn’t work. Back tested many stock picks over a 2 year period and the results were not good.

I read 10-20 trading books per year and usually 99% of them are more or less useless. “Market-Neutral Trading” by Thomas Carr is part of that rare 1% that truly delivers. It includes specific models, backtesting results and a ton of practical advice for the novice as well as the professional.

Tom Carr has written this book in his usual clear and concise manner, he provides a valuable insight into combining technical analysis with fundamental analysis.
Like “Trend Trading for a Living” the book gives a method for applying the ideas detailed in the book. For an intermediate trader like myself it gives a head start into trading. He is cognisant of the costs involved with trading and includes low cost options for the likes of me trading a relatively small account.
This book builds on the ideas in “Trend Trading for a Living” and is a valuable addition to the library of traders of all account sizes and experiences.
