Technical Analysis for Beginners: Candlestick Trading, Charting, and Technical Analysis to Make Money with Financial Markets Zero Trading Experience Required (Day Trading Book 3)
If you are a technical analyst, you know how useful it is to predict the future. Based on a collection of indicators and other technical techniques, technical analysts can see what the market will do by predicting how stocks are likely to move in the future. When you read this book, you will find some common patterns seen in charts that can help you predict where a stock might go next.
Are you interest? Keep reading to know more!Technical analysis is one of the quickest ways for an investor in stocks or futures to make money. Investors must become more educated on this type of investment strategy and use them effectively to their advantage.
Since the 1940s, technical analysis has been used to predict future stock prices of stocks and commodities. It is also used in the futures markets to help traders decide which instruments and futures contracts they wish to buy or sell.
For technical analysis to be successful, the investor must observe certain patterns in a chart of a stock or commodity.Once these patterns are seen, an investor can use them as indicators for making future predictions about where that specific asset might go. Traders often develop their indicators so that they can track the price movements of their stock more accurately. They may even develop special software programs designed for this purpose.
There are many different types of trading strategies that an investor can use. One of the most common is technical trading, which involves using indicators to help predict future price movements. This type of strategy aims to use the wealth gained from the sale of a stock or commodity.
This book covers:
- What Is Technical Analysis
- Basic Concept of Trend
- Recognizing Breakout
- The 4 Types of Indicators You Need to Know
- Continuation Patterns
- Reversal Patterns
- 24 Candlestick Patterns That Every Trader Should Know
- Avoid the Traps
- Trading Psychology
And much more!
To become successful in technical analysis, you will need some knowledge about the market itself. You should be able to recognize which patterns are likely to persist and which patterns might be short-lived or seasonal. It would be best if you looked at a chart as often as possible so that you can recognize patterns as they appear.
Remember that there is no need to become an expert in technical analysis. The primary purpose is to show where specific patterns can be seen and how they can be used as indicators for future predictions. You can use this information to improve your skills and, as a result, increase your chances for success in technical trading.

There’s no substitute for practice when it comes to learning a new skill!
Python syntax is simple to learn, but becoming an expert in writing programs to solve different kinds of problems takes a bit longer. That’s why this book has a short explanation of each new statement or technique, followed by one or more examples and then loads of practice challenges.
Some of the challenges will take you only a minute or two, using the Python Interactive window to try out new statements and get immediate results. As you get further into the book, you will be challenged to write programs to perform different kinds of tasks – for example to find the results of a calculation, write a program for a simplified cash machine, sort a list of items into alphabetical order, or to record data in a text file to be read, formatted, and printed.

Understanding Your ZX81 ROM (28) (Retro Reproductions)
Launched in 1981, Sir Clive Sinclair’s ZX81 – successor to his ZX80 released the year before – was designed to be a low-cost introduction to home computing for the general public. It was a hugely successful machine, with over one and a half million ‘official’ units being sold; many more unauthorised ‘clones’ were also produced, particularly in Russia and other Eastern Bloc countries of the era. One could either purchase the machine pre-built, or – as a significant number of consumers did – buy it in kit form for assembly at home at a slightly cheaper price. This ‘DIY’ approach, encouraged by Sinclair Research, became a core element of the computer’s genetic make-up. Those who were comfortable putting together the four silicon chips and other such components were just as keen to poke around the machine’s memory, learning as much as they could about its capability; the programs they would write could easily be shared once saved onto a standard audio cassette.
This book helps the reader truly understand how the ZX81 works, with sections covering everything from the structure of the Z80 microprocessor used in the machine to the computer’s registers, ALU and more.
With an introduction to both binary and hex, Understanding Your ZX81 ROM helped many people get the most out of their machine in the very earliest days of home computing.

Computing with Quantum Cats: From Alan Turing to Teleportation: From Colossus to Qubits
Pioneering study of the science behind quantum computing and what the new quantum reality will mean for mankind.
The quantum computer is no longer the stuff of science fiction. Pioneering physicists are on the brink of unlocking a new quantum universe which provides a better representation of reality than our everyday experiences and common sense ever could. The birth of quantum computers — which, like Schrödinger’s famous ‘dead and alive’ cat, rely on entities like electrons, photons or atoms existing in two states at the same time — is set to turn the computing world on its head.
In his fascinating study of this cutting-edge technology, John Gribbin updates his previous views on the nature of quantum reality, arguing for a universe of many parallel worlds where ‘everything is real’. Looking back to Alan Turing’s work on the Enigma machine and the first electronic computer, Gribbin explains how quantum theory developed to make quantum computers work in practice as well as in principle. He takes us beyond the arena of theoretical physics to explore their practical applications — from machines which learn through ‘intuition’ and trial and error to unhackable laptops and smartphones. And he investigates the potential for this extraordinary science to create a world where communication occurs faster than light and teleportation is possible.Read more

Computational Thinking (The MIT Press Essential Knowledge series)
An introduction to computational thinking that traces a genealogy beginning centuries before the digital computer.A few decades into the digital era, scientists discovered that thinking in terms of computation made possible an entirely new way of organizing scientific investigation; eventually, every field had a computational branch: computational physics, computational biology, computational sociology. More recently, “computational thinking” has become part of the K–12 curriculum. But what is computational thinking? This volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series offers an accessible overview, tracing a genealogy that begins centuries before digital computers and portraying computational thinking as pioneers of computing have described it.
The authors explain that computational thinking (CT) is not a set of concepts for programming; it is a way of thinking that is honed through practice: the mental skills for designing computations to do jobs for us, and for explaining and interpreting the world as a complex of information processes. Mathematically trained experts (known as “computers”) who performed complex calculations as teams engaged in CT long before electronic computers. The authors identify six dimensions of today’s highly developed CT—methods, machines, computing education, software engineering, computational science, and design—and cover each in a chapter. Along the way, they debunk inflated claims for CT and computation while making clear the power of CT in all its complexity and multiplicity.

Questioning Islam: Tough Questions & Honest Answers About the Muslim Religion
Many questions are currently being asked about the place of Islam in the modern world. Among these questions the most important one of all sometimes gets lost: Is Islam true? With his new book author Peter Townsend invites you to accompany him on a journey through the foundational texts of the Muslim religion. In the process the truth-claims of Islam will be respectfully, honestly and impartially evaluated. Along the way the following questions will be asked: • Can the traditional Islamic historical accounts be trusted? • Is the Qur’an a ‘Perfect Book, Perfectly Preserved’? • Was Muhammad indeed a ‘Beautiful Pattern of Conduct’? The answers to these questions will not be sought from modern commentaries on Islam. Instead Questioning Islam goes straight to the classic sources of Islam namely the Qur’an, hadiths (traditions) and biographies of Muhammad. Questioning Islam is not an attempt to promote any other belief system or ideology. Its focus is simply on asking the hard questions about Islam that are all too often ignored or swept under the carpet. Simply put, if you have ever wondered whether the truth-claims of Islam can withstand critical scrutiny then this book is for you!Read more

A community based on the principles of fairness, justice, kindness, and woring the One true God alone. Though warmly received by many in the city, there are pockets of people who don’t want him there and will try to undermine him at every step. And then there remains the issue of the Quraysh who only have one thing on their mind: revenge. For the best reading experience, we recommend reading Part One of The Simple Seerah before starting this book.Read more

Wok & Spice: The Art of Indo-Chinese Cooking
The history of Indo-Chinese food dates back to the late 19th century when Chinese immigrants settled in various parts of India, particularly in Kolkata (formerly Calcutta). These immigrants, primarily from the Hakka region of China, brought their culinary traditions and flavours with them.Initially, Chinese food in India was adapted to suit the local Indian palate, resulting in the creation of a fusion cuisine that combined Chinese cooking techniques and ingredients with Indian flavours and spices. This fusion cuisine eventually became known as Indo-Chinese or Indian Chinese food.
The early Chinese immigrants opened small eateries and restaurants in Kolkata, where they served dishes that blended Chinese and Indian flavours. Some of the earliest and most iconic Indo-Chinese dishes, such as Gobi Manchurian and Chicken Manchurian, were created during this time. These dishes were a result of experimenting with Chinese cooking techniques and sauces, combined with Indian spices and ingredients.
Over time, the popularity of Indo-Chinese cuisine grew, and it spread to other parts of India as well. Chinese restaurants serving Indo-Chinese food became widespread, catering to the Indian taste preferences for bold, spicy, and tangy flavours.
Today, Indo-Chinese cuisine has become an integral part of Indian culinary culture. It features a wide range of dishes that combine elements from both cuisines, such as stir-fried noodles, fried rice, Manchurian dishes, and various spicy sauces. Indo-Chinese food has its own distinct flavour profile, characterized by a balance of umami, spiciness, tanginess, and aromatic spices.The popularity of Indo-Chinese food extends beyond India, with Indian diaspora communities around the world also enjoying these flavourful dishes. It has become a beloved and influential cuisine, showcasing the harmonious blend of Chinese and Indian culinary traditions.
Overall, the history of Indo-Chinese food reflects the cultural exchange and adaptation that occurs when culinary traditions from different regions come together, resulting in a unique and delicious fusion cuisine.
It is important to note that Indo-Chinese cuisine is not widely recognized in China as an authentic Chinese cuisine. While specific inventors may not be known, the credit for the creation and popularization of Indo-Chinese cuisine goes to the Chinese community in India and the subsequent generations of Indian chefs and cooks who have continued to innovate and refine these dishes.

Values: The must-read book on how to fix our politics, economics and values
THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
Horrified by the current financial crisis? Want to learn how we might get out of it?
This is a pivotal moment in our economy. With the markets in free-fall, financial challenges are growing for us all. A winter of inflation and spiralling energy costs looms. But it doesn’t have to be this way. As former Governor for the Bank of England Mark Carney said to the BBC: ‘The message from the financial markets is there’s a limit to unfunded spending and unfunded tax cuts in this environment.’
His book is essential reading for today’s economic crisis and provides answers to your questions as well as solutions for the future.
In Value(s), Carney offers a roadmap out of this chaos and towards a better, fairer society. This moment could be an opportunity for change, for overhaul. We cannot go on as we have, something must change. Drawing on a truly international perspective, this book offers a blueprint for how we can channel the dynamism of the market to transform intractable global problems into opportunities. And in so doing build a better world for all.
Read as one of the great global thinkers of our time examines how what we value has become misaligned and how we can rethink and rebuild before it is too late.

A New Structural Transformation of the Public Sphere and Deliberative Politics
Jürgen Habermas’s book The Structural Transformation of the Public Sphere, first published in 1962, has long been recognized as one of the most important works of twentieth-century social thought. Blending philosophy and social history, it offered an account of the public sphere as a domain that mediates between civil society and the state in which citizens could discuss matters of common concern and participate in democratic decision-making through the formation of public opinion. Now, in view of the digital revolution and the resulting crisis of democracy, he returns to this important topic.
In this new book Habermas focuses on digital media, in particular social media, which are increasingly relegating traditional mass media to the background. While the new media initially promised to empower users, this promise is being undermined by their algorithm-steered platform structure that promotes self-enclosed informational ‘bubbles’ and discursive ‘echo chambers’ in which users split into a plurality of pseudo-publics that are largely closed off from one other. Habermas argues that, without appropriate regulation of digital media, this new structural transformation is in danger of hollowing out the institutions through which democracies can shape social and economic processes and address urgent collective problems, ranging from growing social inequality to the climate crisis.

The Bloody British: A Well-Meaning Guide to an Awkward Nation
Ever said sorry to an inanimate object?
Formed a queue… on your own?
Or spent the whole night standing naked in a stranger’s cupboard because you’re too polite to ask for help? (Don’t ask.)
Being British isn’t easy. Especially if you live abroad, where your countrymen aren’t exactly famous for, well, blending in.
As his beloved homeland goes bananas, bestselling humourist Paul Hawkins takes on Britishness—how it looks from the outside, how to be British abroad and what you only learn about home once you leave it.
In this comedy book of funny anecdotes and satirical advice, he reveals the awkward secrets, private oddness and cultural blind-spots of the British, for any one who has ever wondered how we look through foreign eyes.
Part memoir and part cheat-sheet for decoding a nation of well-meaning misfits, The Bloody British is full of hilarious insights about Britishness gleaned—often begrudgingly—from the author’s own time as other people’s foreigner.
Featuring invaluable advice for all Brits and newcomers to the UK, including:
- The Brit Abroad Language-Speaking Plan
- How to be Rude, Politely (the secret code of passive-aggression)
- How to be Mean, Nicely (the unwritten rules of banter)
- … plus the14-page illustrated ‘Integration Guide’ spoof for British tourists and travellers.
For all fans of Very British Problems, Douglas Adams and Bill Bryson, it’s the perfect gift for the socially awkward oddball in your life (especially if that socially awkward oddball is you.)
*****
Praise (and hostility) for The Bloody British:
★★★★★ “Bloody funny.” Josef Mengele
★★★★★ “Frighteningly accurate.” Nicholas Grainger
★★★★★ “Filled with hilariously witty observations. Brilliant.” Tom Hardy
★★★★★ “A fabulous antidote for post-Brexit blues.” Nicole
★★★★★ “This book takes everything and nothing seriously. Bloody great.” Ms. E. Barker
★★★★★ “Excellent and painfully close to the truth. I suspect the negative reviews are from inveterate Brexiteers, or members of the knotted hankie brigade.” Maxzie
★☆☆☆☆ “As britain is an island consisiting of 3 different and not a nation itself, this book is highly inaccurate.” Dennis
★★★★★ “A timely comic relief from the drudgery of Brexit. Hilarious.” Alex
★★★★★ “Essential reading for newly landed Brits-to-be.” Mitch
★★★★★ “Informative and humorous. As a foreigner, I could understand better the British spirit.” Paula
★★★★★ “I loved everything about this funny, quirky, lovely book. A must read.” Mirja Brachtel
★★★★★ “Spot on observations and very funny anecdotes. The story about the author insulting Prince Andrew is hilarious!” Adam
★★★★★ “Nobody puts [the British] into perspective better than Mr Hawkins.” – Mike
★★★★★ “Very funny. Scarily true.” E. Gamewell
★★★★★ “Very perceptive and encapsulates what it is to be ‘British'” Mo
★☆☆☆☆ “I am getting quite sick of all these ‘British’ titles which really should read ‘English.’ Britain is a geographical term it is not a nation. By all means, call the book ‘The Bloody English’ but don’t lazily incorporate one of the most ancient nations in Europe in what is a satirical work about the English.” Scottish reader
★★★★★ “If you are fed up of taking life too seriously then this is a book for you. Brilliant.” Kindle reader
★★★★★ “Witty, sarcastic, self-deprecating and yet weirdly adoring take on what it means to be British.” Kindle readerRead more
