Volume analysis attempts to delve deep inside the market trends to help identify shifts within the markets. Investing with Volume Analysis: Identify, Follow, and Profit from Trendspresents an enlightened perspective on the role of volume, not only in pragmatic terms but also in terms of apprehending the underlying rationale of how and why. Award-winning technical analyst Buff Pelz Dormeier teaches state-of-the-art methods for analyzing the relationship of volume to price movements and the evolution of market trends.

New ideas are rare, but Buff offers many, By Mike Carr, CMT (Fort Collins CO) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Investing with Volume Analysis: Identify, Follow, and Profit from Trends (Hardcover)
Recognized with the Dow Award for his 2006 paper on volume, Buff is already a recognized expert on the subject. In that paper, he introduced the Volume Confirmation Price Indicator (VCPI). With this book, he furthers not only his reputation as probably the foremost expert on the subject but he also demonstrates that he is a talented story teller as he makes the history of technical analysis come alive for readers.If we are perfectly honest, at least in my opinion, too many technical analysis books devote their first few chapters to the basics of technical analysis with a few comments on its historical perspective. I usually barely skim these sections because I've already read the story several dozen times and wonder why it needs to be repeated. Buff tells it differently, starting in the beginning with examples from Biblical times and moving forward through time to draw on Wyckoff and Schabacker rather than simply the standard facts about Edwards and Magee. He offers a... Read more

Same old same old,
This review is from: Investing with Volume Analysis: Identify, Follow, and Profit from Trends (Hardcover)
This book starts out great.The first 80 pages are tremendous trading theory. Then I started to get that sick feeling in my gut when I saw candlestick analysis and chart patterns. The book began to turn into a VSA (Volume Spread Analysis)primer. The next shock was the 4 quotes by Harold M. Gartley that shaped the research for the rest of the book. They are antiquated and given to an era where they hardly had the insight available to a trader today. What follows that is a list of volume indicators that could be found on any trading based website and then some information on market breadth indicators that also have been more thoroughly written of in Greg Morris' book on Market Breadth Indicators.The book gave some original thoughts concerning cap weighted volume and a trend thrust indicator made by Dormier but the usefulness of such things is torn apart by Buff himself in the final chapter when he tells us all that due to dark pools we are left with an erroneous picture of market...

Groundbreaking Concepts and Research on Volume, By
This review is from: Investing with Volume Analysis: Identify, Follow, and Profit from Trends (Hardcover)
I have read many books on investing and trading, and this is one of the very best.It is the single most complete, yet concise book I know on the subject of volume analysis - more than 300 pages packed with useful information. Buff Dormeier writes clearly, even about deep material. The book goes through all the basics but also offers advanced and new concepts for the more experienced. Unfortunately many investors overlook the benefit of understanding and learning volume analysis, focusing only on price and price momentum. How to combine volume with many of the best known price momentum indicators is of profound value to an investor. The book discusses no less than 7 types of volume indicators - from pure volume indicators to inter- and intraday indicators, VWMAs and of course Buff Dormeier's own VPCI - The Volume Price Confirmation Indicator. Especially informative I found: -> How to use the VPCI in combination with other... Read more |
