About the Author

Jeremy trained as an automotive engineer, then an economist, but gave them both up to become a Technical Analyst. In 1983 he founded Indexia Research and pioneered the development of PC based technical analysis software with the Indexia range of technical analysis systems. During the 1980s he developed a number of technical tools and indicators under the banner of Indexia, which are still used in software to this day. He is an expert on Point and Figure charts, and the Indexia software was the first PC-based system to draw them correctly and clearly in the early 1980s.

He lectures the Point and Figure module for the Society of Technical Analysts and sets the Point and Figure syllabus for the International Federation of Technical Analysts. He has taught Technical Analysis, and in particular Point and Figure, to thousands of professional traders and investors over the last 20 years. In 2001, after running Indexia Research for nearly 20 years, he agreed to merge the company with Updata plc, where he is now Head of Technical Analysis and the designer of the Updata Technical Analyst software.

He is a Fellow of the Society of Technical Analysts (FSTA) in the UK, and a member of the American Market Technicians Association (MTA). He is a holder of the Chartered Market Technician (CMT) designation awarded by the MTA.

feedback:

learly this writer knows his subject. The title says definitive and that's what it is. In my opinion this is a seminal work on the subject.

The structure is generally good. It starts with an introduction to technical analysis which I guess is too short and too basic and could have been left out. The beef starts with the chapter on the history of Point & Figure charts. The chapter is enlightening and informative. Next is characteristics and construction which explains what makes a PF chart and how it is constructed. I was surprised at how many different methods there are. The next chapter is called understanding PF and details patterns and how they are created.

He concentrates on how and why there is a pattern which is good. It is also the first time I have seen the old one point reversal charts and modern 3 point charts reconciled. There is a lucid description of the way to apply trend lines and what they mean. A new technique using 'internal lines' is very useful. The chapters just get better and better. There is a whole chapter on targets that has for the first time explained this part of PF to me better than ever before. There is some ground-breaking detail on risk and reward ratios. I am already using these.

He does a full step-by-step analysis of an English FT index as well as the Nasdaq Composite. It doesn't stop there. A chapter on the use of moving averages, John Bollinger's bands and Wilder's parabolic on PF charts is clearly a new area. He covers what he calls market breadth and Bullish Percent in meticulous detail. Every step of the way he describes exactly how everything is calculated.

It is an expensive book but its hardback and its in color. That's something you don't ever see. There are lots example charts. The contents are detailed and the index is very good.

I like the writing style. I highly recommend it

ICWR Forex Trading Strategy

ICWR stands for Impulsive/Corrective Wave Retracement. The ICWR forex strategy is a list of conditions that traders use to determine entry and exit points in trading the forex market.

The ICWR forex strategy is based on a combination of the Elliott Wave Theory and Fibonacci ratios. Traders have found that corrective waves have a inclination to retrace the preceding impulsive waves by a Fibonacci ratio.

So what are corrective waves? Corrective waves are short-term corrections that move against the long-term market trend. The major waves in in alignment with the long-term market are called impulsive waves. Bring up a chart of a major currency (say the GBP/USD) with the time frame set on daily and you will easily see the long-term trend, along with several corrective waves.

The most frequent Fibonacci ratios observed in the ICWR forex strategy are 25%, 38%, 50%, 61% and 75%.

Most traders use the ICWR forex strategy with an existing entry strategy to help refine their exit strategy to get out the maximum profit possible out of the trade. In fact many traders have found that managing a trade and determining the exit point is more important than choosing an entry point and direction to trade in.

The ICWR forex strategy is very easy to use. Simply bring up a chart of an interval you wish to trade, find the preceding impulsive wave (in the direction of the long-term trend) and compute the Fibonacci ratios. Now record the Fibonacci ratios on your chart. For example if the preceding impulsive wave UP was 100 pips, for the Fibonacci ratio of 25% you will place a line 25 pips below the high of the impulsive wave. Most charting packages come with a Fibonacci tool built in, calculating the ratios and drawing in lines for you.

These Fibonacci ratios can then be used in a number of ways:
- move your stop loss with every impulsive wave in your favor to maximize profit and minimize risk (the 75% ratio is usually used for this)
- determine when the corrective wave is likely to conclude in order to determine good entry points.

Traders often tend to despair when their trade is in profit and it starts to move against them. By using the ICWR forex strategy you will be ready to ride out the corrective waves in order to get out the maximum profit from your trades.
