Praise for Value in Time "You have opened a revolutionary book
that explodes the envelope of standard technical analysis. It
introduces several new tools that can help you recognize when a
trend is likely to reverse. It reveals new ways to profit from
trends and their reversals." -From the Foreword by Dr.
Alexander Elder "Mr. Pascal Willain has discovered a new and
powerful approach in stock analysis using price and volume, which
he named 'Effective Volume.' For students of volume
analysis, this book is a must-read. I have studied volume analysis
in length, and I can say with confidence that his approach is on
the money. He does not stop at stock analysis, but goes further
into sector analysis to complete the trading plan. If you're
interested in how the driving forces of the market work, then this
book is for you." -Tim Ord, President and Editor, The Ord
Oracle market letter, and developer of Ord Volume software "I
very much like the original ideas expressed in this book and
believe that the Effective Volume Indicator along with the
Divergence Analysis of the Effective Volume Indicator would be
useful in managing a portfolio. In fact, my tech group is now
working to incorporate the Effective Volume analysis into our
proprietary algorithms." -Bill Cara, President of Cara Trading
Advisors (Bahamas) Ltd., author of Lessons from the Trader Wizard,
and editor of Cara's Trader Wizard Investment Reports
Breakthrough technical analysis tools that will put traders in a
better position to succeed
In his quest to become a profitable trader, author Pascal Willain
developed three new technical tools, which represent a significant
advancement in technical analysis: Effective Volume, Effective
Ratio, and Active Boundaries. These tools, which are the first to
take full advantage of decimalization, perform a minute-by-minute
statistical analysis of the relationship between price and volume
to measure a stock's supply/demand imbalance and the level of
traders' expectation. In essence, Willain's approach allows
him to track the behavior of large traders, providing an early
indication of changes in trend. With Value in Time, Willain
skillfully outlines his successful trading system and reveals what
readers must do to incorporate it into their everyday trading
activities.
