A practical guide to profiting from institutional trading trends

The key to being a successful trader is finding a system that works and sticking with it. Author Al Brooks has done just that. By simplifying his trading system and trading only 5-minute price charts he's found a way to capture profits regardless of market direction or economic climate. His first book, Reading Price Charts Bar by Bar, offered an informative examination of his system, but it didn't allow him to get into the real nuts and bolts of the approach. Now, with this new series of books, Brooks takes you step by step through the entire process.

By breaking down his trading system into its simplest pieces: institutional piggybacking or trend trading (the topic of this particular book in the series), trading ranges, and transitions or reversals, this three book series offers access to Brooks' successful methodology. Price Action Trends Bar by Bar describes in detail what individual bars and combinations of bars can tell a trader about what institutions are doing. This is critical because the key to making money in trading is to piggyback institutions and you cannot do that unless you understand what the charts are telling you about their behavior. This book will allow you to see what type of trend is unfolding, so can use techniques that are specific to that type of trend to place the right trades.

从机构交易趋势中获利的实用指南
成为一个成功的交易者的关键是找到一个有效的系统并坚持下去。作家艾尔·布鲁克斯就是这么做的。通过简化他的交易系统，只交易5分钟的价格图表，他找到了一种无论市场走向或经济环境如何都能获取利润的方法。他的第一本书《逐条阅读价格图表》（ReadingPriceCharts Bar-by-Bar）对他的体系进行了翔实的考察，但这本书并没有让他深入了解这种方法的真正细节。现在，有了这一系列新的书籍，布鲁克斯会一步一步地告诉你整个过程。
通过将他的交易系统分解为最简单的几部分：机构支撑或趋势交易（本系列中这本书的主题）、交易范围和转换或反转，这三本书系列提供了布鲁克斯成功方法的途径。逐条价格走势详细描述了单个条和组合条可以告诉交易者机构在做什么。这一点很关键，因为在交易中赚钱的关键是依靠机构，除非你明白图表告诉你的是它们的行为，否则你无法做到这一点。这本书将让你看到什么类型的趋势正在展开，所以你可以使用技术，是特定于该类型的趋势，以放置正确的交易。
