It's been estimated that high-frequency traders—one form of computerized trading—accounts for more than half of each day's total equity market trades. In this environment, individual traders need to learn new techniques that can help them navigate modern markets and avoid being whipsawed by larger, institutional players.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eTrading the Measured Move\u003c\/i\u003e offers a blueprint for profiting from the price waves created by computer-driven algorithmic and high-frequency trading strategies. The core of author David Halsey's approach is a novel application of Fibonnaci retracements, which he uses to set price targets and low-risk entry points. When properly applied, it allows traders to gauge market sentiment, recognize institutional participation at specific support and resistance levels, and differentiate between short-term and long-term trades at various price points in the market.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides guidance for individual traders who fear they can't compete in today's high-frequency dominated markets\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOutlines specific trade set ups, including opening gap strategies, breakouts and failed breakout strategies, range trading strategies, and pivot trading strategies\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eReveals how to escape institutional strategies designed to profit from slower-moving market participants\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eEngaging and informative, \u003ci\u003eTrading the Measured Move\u003c\/i\u003e will provide you with a new perspective, and new strategies, to successfully navigate today's computer driven financial markets\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePreface xiii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments xvii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 1 Today’s Trading Environment 1\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDescent of the Pit and Ascent of the Screen 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePlayers on the Field 2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Algo Brothers 4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhere Are You?
