Written by Philip Gotthelf, one of today's foremost futures trading authorities, TechnoFundamental Trading provides a fresh and thoroughly modern approach to fundamental analysis. By synthesizing aspects of technical analysis with fundamental analysis, Gotthelf has created a unique and powerful approach to market forecasting and trade selection. Indeed, the technofundamental approach is one of the best methods ever devised to identity long-term trends and major turning points. The technofundamental method can accomplish all of the following: identity major price trends before they begin; distinguish between a "technical market reaction" and a significant top or bottom; understand the relationship between seemingly unrelated phenomena, such as grain prices and interest rates or currencies and gold; distinguish between "reactionary fundamentals" with "prospective fundamentals"; identify long-term economic cycles; analyze supply and demand using new "technical approaches; and interpret technical indicators in light of market fundamentals. Unlike many technical methods, the technofundamental approach does not negate a trader's power of analysis and interpretation. Indeed, technofundamentals place a premium on the trader's ability to interpret the interplay between fundamental and technical forces. For trades with superior analytical and creative abilities, the technofundamental method will provide a big edge over purely technical traders.
