In The Undeclared Secrets That Drive the Stock Market, We will be looking at the subject from the other side of the trade. It is the close study of the reactions of the specialists and market makers which will give you a direct access to future market behaviour. Much of what we shall be discussing is also concerned with the psychology of trading, which you need to fully understand because the professional operator does and will take full advantage wherever possible. Professionals operating in the markets are very much aware of the emotions that drive You (and the herd) in your trading. We will be looking at how these emotions are triggered to benefit professional traders and hence price movements.
Introduction:
Volume Spread Analysis, is a new term which describes the method of interpreting, analysing and understanding a bar chart displayed on your computer screen. A chart with the high, low, close and volume will graphically show you how supply and demand presents its self to you in a form that you can analyse.
For the correct analysis of volume one needs to realise that the recorded volume contains only half of the information required to arrive at a correct analysis. The other half of the information is found in the price spreads. Volume always indicates the amount of activity going on. The corresponding price spread shows the price movement on that volume [activity]. This book is about how the markets work, and, most importantly, will help you to recognise indications as they occur at the live edge of a trading market. Indications that a pit trader, market maker, specialist or a top professional trader would see and recognise.
Volume Spread Analysis seeks to establish the cause of price movements and from the cause predict the future direction of prices. The cause is the imbalance between Supply and Demand in the market which is created by the activity of professional operators. The effect is either a bullish or bearish move according to market conditions prevailing.
