Why book on market breadth retails for $450

A volatile sideways range is not conducive to momentum swing  trading on both long or short side. 3 days up 2 days down , 2 days up and so on isnot predictable environment.


 Lot of skill in momentum trading is in avoiding such bad periods. Such periods do not last long and are followed by uptrend or down trend. If you trade such period with longer or intermediate term swing trading style you will get whipsawed to death.

Many participants who survive the market for 10 years plus recognize this from real life experience. They avoid such periods. That is why you will see people like Dan Zanger, Mark Minervini and many other vetran traders have been advising.


Mark Minervini made the following post on Stockbee Members Site emphasizing the same point:


You don't need to trade in all market environment to make good money over long term. That is one of the ways to trade and that has been my style for many years. You wait for market to setup and trade when it is favorable to momentum investing.

As against that you can be a day trader and for them trading everyday is their choice strategy. They should be thriving in such environment of high volatility.

For my style of trading the most important thing I look for is breadth trends. Breadth trends tell you when momentum based methods work best.



The Market Monitor is timing tool which tells you when breadth trends change. It is a process where stocks have a breadth thrust and the breadth turns positive. During that period overwhelming number of stocks make long moves. That is the period where obviously momentum works.

Because the the Market Monitor measures the breadth daily you know as a new move starts developing and you can anticipate turns.  So when the market decides to change direction there will be more 4% plus breakout to upside, the 34/13 bull readings will improve and you will have the first indicator of change in breadth trends.

Market breadth based tools are extremely useful if you want to understand the underlying buying or selling dynamics in market. There are many ways to use market breadth . There are very few books on this important topic and the book which I have recommended many times before on this topic retails for $450 on Amazon. It is now out of print due to high demand from many traders.

The Complete Guide to Market Breadth Indicators: How to Analyze and Evaluate market Direction and Strength




If you want to prospect and survive in the market for decades then you must study market breadth. A good understanding of market breadth will help you manage risk better in your trading account and in your 401K accounts. Fortunately there is lot of readily available information on market breadth and how to use it. If you are motivated trader you will find ton of information on this topic on the internet and on this site.

I think those prices are ridiculous. It is good book but being out of print the prices have been driven up.
