Download it once and read it on your Kindle device, PC, phones or tablets. Use features like bookmarks, note taking and highlighting while reading Trading the Trends. Review: Sequel to Charting and Technical Analysis - Trading The Trends - by Fred McAllen - this is the second book after 'Charting and Technical Analysis'. This is a must read after finishing the first book. In Trading The Trends, a broad approach to the market is taken and then builds with greater detail as a strategy is selected and trade plan is used. Much of the knowledge from the first book is used as this second one rounds out everything with profit in mind. Whether you are a long term investor, swing trader, shorter term trader/day trader, techniques are discussed with examples and goals in mind. Entry and Exit points, moving averages, and other indicators are discussed. I skipped the 'Covered Calls' section because I know I won't trade that way, but it is consistent with the rest of the book. Covered Calls involve owning stock and using call options - this lines up more with the 'investor' strategy versus short term trading strategy I was exited about. Income strategies using options also are discussed such as a bear call spread. For Butterflys and Condors you might check out other sources, but some brief mentions about blue chips and utilities is covered. Advancing and Declining securities overall seemed helpful to me such as looking at the New York Stock exchange and index as a broader scope versus the DJIA for instance. The 50 DMA and 200 DMA are discussed with examples. The support and resistence concepts are vital and are thoroughly discussed. All in all, I have bolstered my trading with this book and have switched gears from being stubborn prematurally with puts on banks and the fractional reserve banking issues to a different strategy altogether with a shorter time horizon. These short term trade examples helpfed me greatly to hone my skills. Some things discussed I knew, others I only vaguely knew of, but were clarified by the author and explained well such as the 3-5 concept within a primary trend. The reason perhaps is that Fred had more exposure over more years than myself even though I know many of the techniques he discussed. In summation, Fred's book Trading The Trends is a MUST read! Review: Excellent Work! - This book is a great place to start as an investor or trader seeking ways to understand the markets and how to trade it. I enjoyed the conversational tone and examples laid out in the book. I plan to read it a few more times just for clarity and understanding. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B007PRQGVS | | Accessibility | Learn more | | Best Sellers Rank | #83,239 in Kindle Store ( See Top 100 in Kindle Store ) #39 in Retirement Planning (Kindle Store) #178 in Introduction to Investing #839 in Personal Finance (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (897) | | Enhanced typesetting | Enabled | | File size | 11.2 MB | | Language | English | | Page Flip | Enabled | | Print length | 321 pages | | Publication date | October 1, 2011 | | Publisher | Fred McAllen | | Screen Reader | Supported | | Word Wise | Enabled | | X-Ray | Enabled | ## Images ![- Trading the Trends - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51YGWCaPmyL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sequel to Charting and Technical Analysis *by E***N on December 26, 2013* Trading The Trends - by Fred McAllen - this is the second book after 'Charting and Technical Analysis'.

I enjoyed the conversational tone and examples laid out in the book. I plan to read it a few more times just for clarity and understanding. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Investing Book Ever *by E***R on February 21, 2025* I would rank this book at the top of the list for the individual investor. Provides highly usable and practical information for the DIY investor who does not want to be bilked by his financial advisor. Most Robo Investors can do the investing for you, but I learned that they over diversify with conservative investments that do not keep up with the S&P 500 returns. All you need is knowledge and patience which Mr. McAllen's book provides in perfect detail and do the investing yourself. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kg/products/104156355-trading-the-trends](https://www.desertcart.kg/products/104156355-trading-the-trends) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kyrgyzstan* *Store origin: KG* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
