Editorial Review:

Product Description:
A complete guide to trading with price, volume, and float

Float Analysis explains how to use the Woods Cumulative Volume Float Indicator, the landmark concept in technical analysis that teaches the reader how to accurately determine when to purchase stocks. This groundbreaking book also contains all-new insights on how to understand and profit from these indicators, how support and resistance are redefined by this innovation, and how to implement these strategies into a high-growth portfolio.

Steve Woods (Hyattsville, MD) is the Executive Director of FloatAnalysis.com and has written a number of articles for various journals including Technical Analysis of Stocks & Commodities.

New technology and the advent of around the clock trading have opened the floodgates to both foreign and domestic markets. Traders need the wisdom of industry veterans and the vision of innovators in today's volatile financial marketplace. The Wiley Trading series features books by traders who have survived the market's ever changing temperament and have prospered-some by reinventing systems, others by getting back to basics. Whether a novice trader, professional or somewhere in-between, these books will provide the advice and strategies needed to prosper today and well into the future.




Rating: - Interesting concept - Overpriced book
The author claims that he has discovered the missing element that complements price and volume and it is the float (or, the status of it). When the cumulative daily volume in a given time period adds up to the float (the number of publicly available and traded shares), you get a Float Turnover; good or bad things may happen at this point. Three cumulative technical markers are introduced here: Volume-Float Indicator, Volume Percentage Indicator and Volume Channel Indicator (this last looks like Bollinger ... Read More

Rating: - Buy and Sell when price is above or below the float turnover
Shares traded to the public are referred to as the "Float". The float is a constantly changing measurement.

The amount of time it takes for the cumulative volume total to equal the float is the unit of measurement referred to as the "Float Turnover". So intuitively the Float Turnover represents a span of time required to change all ownership in the float. Every stock behaves differently. Some stocks have a float turn over in a couple of days, whereas, it takes years for others.

Rating: - Interesting but don't expect code
After reading the book, I have mixed feelings; this may be a brilliant new concept or a mathematical gimmick. What I can say is that this book comes with no software code. That costs considerable more. If you use Tradestation and can't code the concepts from the book yourself, your next book should be Professional Stock Trading by Mark Conway and Aaron Behle. They have a chapter on Float Trading with their adaptation of the Float Box, Float Channel, and Float Percentage. Also included is a trading system ... Read More

Rating: - Give it up for the pros.
With fairness in mind, I must say that this book is both informing and yet another money-trap for you.
First of all; this writing is good because it takes a subject (A Stocks Float) and explains its` important role, and gives the reader a little more education on buying and selling power in the markets.
For all this, the book is great. However! Don't be fooled into thinking you are getting a tool or anything you can use in your market analysis. If you are a MetaStock language programmer or in some other ... Read More

Rating: - ANOTHER SCAM
The theme of the book is SCAM, and the book is full of CONS

Let me show you why I said so:

The author claims at any given turn, there is always one float turn over, and if the stock has not turned over yet after one float, he refers to multiple floats. This is the biggest con.

Pick a number from the air. Use that as the float of the stock and chart it the way the author says it. You will have the same result at every turn of the stocks, ofcourse, depending on which number you pick, ... Read More
