Editorial Review:

Product Description:
In The Secret Science of Price and Volume, leading market timer Tim Ord outlines a top-down approach to trading—identifying the trend, picking the strongest sectors, and focusing on the best stocks within those sectors—that will allow you to excel in a variety of markets. With this book as your guide, you’ll quickly become familiar with Ord’s proven method and discover how it can be used to make more profitable trading decisions.




Rating: - NOT a good buy
Although Mr. Ord does have a couple of good points to make, the great bulk of the book is a sales pitch for his Ord Volume, a black box concept he markets through his web site. In seems inappropriate to charge so much for a sales pitch for a product he offers for sale separately. Beyond that, the product itself is open to great question; as he describes Ord Volume, it is undefined until AFTER the market move he uses it to predict, suggesting it is likely an after the fact rationalization of events, ...

Rating: - Excellent book on volume
I've read a number of books on technical analysis, including the classic "Technical Analysis of Stock Trends" by Edwards & Magee (which I highly recommend). I also read Technical Analysis of Stocks and Commodities magazine. Although it isn't difficult to find basic explanations of volume, such as the principle that as price increases, so should volume, I've always found these standard explanations to be lacking.

Rating: - Secret, what SECRET.
The Secret Science of Price ad Volume. The title is deceiving. There is no SECRET and no SCIENCE. It is merely a
re-phrasing of standard technical indicators and making a complicated issue out of it.
"Spotting Market trends,hot sectors and best stocks" is no more than a simple momentum investing.
Don't waste your time and money.

Rating: - Aligning Trading Ideas with Markets
Timothy Ord recommends a top-down approach to market analysis.

The author, president, editor, and publisher of The Ord Oracle an electronic advisory newsletter that recommends S&P, NASDAQ, and gold stock trades, argues that every trade begins with:

1. Determining the market direction.
2. Selecting the best sectors.
3. Isolating the strongest stocks in the best sectors.

There is nothing there that justifies this book's price. What follows, however, is rare ... Read More

Rating: - Must read book for any serious investor
Tim Ord's book is an easy read and his trading methodologies are very easy to use. Own both the book and software. Software is $599. I have worked on Wall Street for the past 18 years and Tim's methodologies get right down to the basics of looking at just price and volume (that is all you need). I know of a couple of big hedge funds who wrote all of these sophisticated quantitative formulas for beating the market and they ended up getting slaughtered like sheep. Most of these quant guys have Phd's in mathematics ... Read More
