Publisher's Synopsis
"Computerized Trading Strategies" introduces the non-computer trained investor to the basics of computer-enhanced trading strategies. It shows the reader how to write BASIC programs for technical analysis on the IBM PC and compatibles so they can develop, test, refine, and apply their own trading systems more quickly and accurately than standard trading practices. The book explains how to obtain both up-to-the-minute and historical price data for stocks, commodities, and currencies through on-line services, and incorporate the data quickly and easily into one's own trading programs. The most popular technical trading systems are covered, including single and double moving averages, oscillators, on-balance volume, and stochastics, and the author shows how to tailor them to fit a trader's preferred strategy.
