The Effectivevolume web site

Success in stock trading is not something that comes easily. You need not only to select the right stock, but more importantly the right timing. How can you select the right timing if you cannot see what others are doing and cannot anticipate their next move?

This is all what this web site is about: to help you understand what is going on below the surface. The market has greatly changed in the past few years, and the use of End of Day price information does not provide any advantage compared to what other traders are seeing.

The book "Value In Time" to be published by Wiley in June 2008, with a preface from Dr Alexander Elder , describes a set of new tools that are based on a combination of price and volume minute-by-minute data. They will give you an unprecedented market view. The book can already be pre-ordered on Amazon.com at a special discount rate.

The manuscript of "Value In Time" was sent to four experienced traders. Below are a few of their spontaneous comments:

• "This is revolutionary and is one of the brightest explanation of market behavior I have ever read " (On Ch 2: Active Boundaries)
• "Overall very interesting reading. Maybe the chapter with the deepest philosophical implications. From a very very practical perspective, though" (On Ch 5: the risk/return balance)
• "The improvements you made in Ch 6 are wonderful and impressive! I do not remember having read anywhere else such a systematic and clear description of the optimisation steps of a trading strategy" (On Ch 6)
• "Very clear, logical, innovative and well written" (On Ch 7: Shorting Strategies)
• "This is most interesting and fascinating. I am also currently into many sector simulations research and this gave me a lot of fresh ideas" (On Ch 8: Market and Sectors analysis)
• "I find your unique insights most thought provoking" (On Market Analysis of Ch 8)

"Value In Time" is available for pre-orders on Amazon.com
