Title: Technical Trading Tactics
Location: UBS Konferenzbebäude Grünenhof
Description: SAMT is pleased to announce a presentation given by John Person on technical trading tactics. John Person has been analyzing and trading futures for 32 years and is one of the worlds foremost authority on pivot point analysis. He is the editor of the weekly newsletter, The Bottom Line Financial Report and a regular guest on CNBC. He writes a daily market report on the Chicago Board of Trade web site. John Person's first book, A Complete Guide to Technical Trading Tactics, published by John Wiley and Sons, was the first to introduce combining the best of both worlds, candlestick charting and pivot point analysis. His second book Candlestick and Pivot Point Trading Triggers reveals more details about when and how to use pivot point analysis on entry and exits. Many traders have probably heard the term pivot points and recognize that they have some bearing on price action. However, most individual traders and even brokers are not familiar with the pivot point formula. . But professional traders use pivot points, so you should probably be aware of what they are. Some recent chart examples below reflect the validity of the pivot point concept. With pivot point in the name, you might guess that these points are very significant to some traders, especially to those "old school" traders who have been following pivot points for many years. A pivot point is simply a computed number based on the high, low and close of the previous price bar, whether the time period is a day, a week or a month. Using that pivot point number, traders calculate support and resistance levels, which are considered to be price brackets for the current time period. This presentation will take place at the UBS Konferenzbebäude Grünenhof, Raum 1 Nüschelerstrasse 9 8001 Zürich Look forward to seeing you there. SAMT Admin
