Success in any area of endeavor, whether it be a craft, the arts, or business, is not based on having the right equipment, or raw materials, but rather on knowing how to use them. Likewise, success in the stock market is not dependent on having access to good indicators, but rather, on knowing how to read them against prevailing market conditions.

Technical analysis, the reading of price and volume charts to identify trading opportunities, has long been a staple in the trader's toolkit. And with the advent of online trading, technical analysis has become more readily available to traders than ever before.

However, even with multiple Web sites offering a variety of common indicators along with the guidelines on how to apply them, many traders are still not realizing the kind of profitable results they could be achieving.

In Four Steps to Trading Success, Dr. John Clayburg, a technical analyst with more than twenty years in the game, provides the serious day trader with a wide array of tools that can be used to build an effective day trading system, regardless of the indicators. In clear, easy-to-understand language, Clayburg explains how to use and interpret common indicators that are freely available on the Web to develop a trading strategy that fits each trader's personal goals and ambitions.

Clayburg's goal is not to teach a system that, when blindly adhered to, will bring everyone the same results. Rather, he strives to instill a new mind-set, combining proven techniques with logical processes and some commonsense filters to enable traders to "customize" their own trading strategies using their own personal experiences, observations, and interactions to achieve greater trading success. For example, the author introduces the use of a simple early morning filter that, with 75 percent accuracy, defines each trading day in such a way as to make the interpretation and use of indicators much more reliable. By using this technique to enter the market each day, traders can significantly increase the accuracy of their trading.

Whether the goal is finding out how to get the most mileage out of online trading, learning how to interpret multiple indicators for a more accurate picture of the market, or just gathering some new insights to help improve one's game, Four Steps to Trading Success promises to make any trader a more informed, more successful investor.
