Determining General Market Direction

The following is a chapter from Trend Trading for a Living. In it, author and founder of Befriend the Trend Trading, Dr. Thomas Carr gives you all the technical skills, market-trend knowledge, and trading confidence you need to "trade for a living." A self-made trader himself, Carr walks you through every step of the process, from selecting the right online broker and choosing the best supporting software to "eyeballing" real setups on stock charts and leveraging your portfolio with options.
