As today's market environment continues to change dramatically, more and more traders are discovering that traditional forecasting methods-pure technical analysis and fundamental analysis-just do not work. Sending out contradictory messages, these opposing schools of thought leave investors baffled about the future direction of the market, and consequently, at a loss as to how to tailor their trading systems. As a result, many practitioners have now turned to a new forecasting "cocktail" that combines traditional charting methodologies with chaos theory and human psychology. In this groundbreaking book, Bill Williams, a seasoned trader at the forefront of this dynamic new approach, explains exactly what it is, how it works in current stock and commodity markets, and how to use it to your advantage.

Based on human nature rather than the vagaries of the market, the new trading dimension works on the premise that we trade not the market, but our own belief system. By assessing what your personal biases are, you can determine how they influence your ultimate success-or failure-and then adjust your trading strategies accordingly.

Written by an expert in the field who has been featured in Futures, Worth, Success, and other prominent publications, New Trading Dimensions takes the latest in scientific knowledge about human behavior and applies it directly to the fields of stock and commodity investing and trading. With straightforward guidelines, it shows you how to adopt the right attitude toward the behavior of the market and use the right tools (ATTITOOLS) for profitable trading. Packed with practice exercises, specific applications to different types of investments, and a detailed review of important market signals, here's where you'll learn how to:
* Discover what the market wants and align your own beliefs with the direction of the market
* Apply chaos theory to trading and investing
* Use Williams' "Market Alligator" for analyzing and profiting from the markets
* Employ a multidimensional trading program that includes such tools and techniques as fractals, oscillators, AC signals, psychological zones, and balance lines
* Exit trades in a timely fashion to reap high returns

Drawing on the author's more than forty years of experience as both a successful trader and seasoned trainer, this invaluable guide offers a breakthrough method that has proven its ability to turn investors into consistent winners.

One of the keys to becoming a better trader..........2006-05-15

I've read all three books by Bill Williams and I think this is his best work.

I'm not sure if I agree with every trading tool that he presents, but, like any new information: you apply them to your own objectives. However, make no mistake...his ideas are important and he's done extremely well to lay them out in a readable manner.

This is just my own opinion, but I feel that you can't dismiss other aspects of technical analysis. Combining a few important technical rules with non-linear trading techniques will produce excellent results as long as you apply them correctly. Further, I've read many books on linear mechanical trading models and usually they don't describe ideas that lend themselves to you as a trader adapting efficiently to changing market conditions.

Put simply, if you read between the lines, he suggests a way of thinking that is non-linear and constantly changing: the crux of the markets.

Worth reading.......2006-04-16

It's not the trading methodology that makes this book valuable. Whenever I reread it I completely skip that part. As a matter of fact, in his next book "Trading Chaos Second Edition" Bill pretty much admits the system underperforms in current market conditions and makes the very significant refinement of using a counter-trend signal that he refers to as a "divergent bar" for first entry. He says without saying it in that book that those following the method in this book will be "late and have a difficult time making any money."

No, the reason I have held on to this book, instead of selling it with the others, is the psychological stuff, and the innovated way he ties physics in with successful trading. It is very introspective, thought-provoking, and yes, quite helpful. To quote the book, get out of the win vs. loss mindset and get into the here and now process of noticing what is happening and being in tune with the market.

It is a bad book. Yes, it is that simple. .......2006-01-15

It is a bad book. Yes, it is that simple. If I were to write in the stile of the book, I would say something along this line:

"I tested the theory on super mainframe personal computer to realize that it is wrong for our times."

No, I did not make a mistake. Author actually alleges to test his theory on super computers at some places and super mainframe computers at others. As far as I know, when mainframe computers were the main part of computer departments super computers were not. Super computers cost millions of dollars and were not available to business people for trading testing. Our days, of cause, most PC (personal computers) are much more powerful than old mainframe computers. Servers in IT departments use PC based technology working on the networks. So, why does the author used this archaic terminology instead of telling you to test it on your home computers? Did he what to empress you or instill the need in his "super mainframe computer" service?

OK, so author is not exactly on the cutting edge of technology. But maybe he knows trading as it applies to chaos theory? No, he does not. The book uses moving averages crossovers and a variation of MACD (as difference between two moving averages) as the base of the trading method. Of cause moving averages are transformed into the alligator and MACD into some new indicator. How innovative is it? He also uses a variation of high point definition with a chaos name of a fractal. Well done! Now most of us will think it is a trading chaos book.

If you are not familiar with MACD and moving averages there are better books on the subject. Do not buy this one.

Don't be fooled ... simplicity is bliss.......2006-01-06

This is an excellent book. The gator, oscillator and history principals are all sound. Add to this Martin Pring's approach to technical analysis and you are on your way! The prinicpals are the important thing and not any one trading system or method. This book was once cutting edge. Now it's a classic!

Starts Slow But Ends With A Bang!.......2005-09-01

The book is very good after the first couple of chapters. The author makes an attempt to tie the book's content to chaos theory but the connection is not that solid. All the trading dimensions are excellent and I believe the book should focus more on them instead of random references to chaos theory.

Book Description

Lobbying is an art form, rather than a science, so there is inevitably an element of judgement in what line to take. The best lobbying is always based on accurate, up-to-date information and on a well-argued case, founded on credible evidence, and delivered to the right audiences in the right tone of voice at the right time. Sounds simple, but it isn't. This new Special Report shows you how.

A must have for anyone that wants to communicate effectively.......2002-12-03

Kudos to Ms. Kirschman for writing the quintessential guide to communicating in the 21st century. In a society where people can graduate from college lacking the basic fundamentals of the English language--this book is a must have for everyone. Buy a copy for yourself and put it right next to Rogets Thesaurus and Merriam Webster's Dictionary. You will find yourself refering to it time and again.

A Business Plan that Actually Works!.......2002-04-20

As a business owner and entrepreneur, I am always open to money making ideas and have been willing to take a chance on several that have paid off well in the past ten years. This Quixtar book is promoting a great idea that evidently is actually working. Well written. Great idea. Thank you Stewart and Sanders.

Amway in cyberspace.......2002-01-31

The book is mildly helpful for people who want to sell Amway through its new facad...Quixtar. I joined Quixstar...same products different way of ordering..the internet...novel idea huh?

The book to me is the same sales pitch hype that you get from the people selling the original amway idea.

MAJOR LETDOWN.......2001-10-14

This book is nothing more than salescopy for Quixtar, a multilevel marketing company like Amway. If you truly want to understand how e-commerce works and how to leverage your marketing efforts in the online world read about e-mail marketing, viral marketing and a little on web design and then learn about writing great sales copy (ogilvy is king here.) For e-mail marketing books check out Seth Godin and Permission marketing and E-mail marketing that works by Kim MacPherson I believe. Godin has another book about viral marketing and there are two additional books, The Anatomy of a Buzz and The Tipping Point that are also good reads.

The problem I have with the book is that it is nothing more than a sales pitch where the authors speak about how great their company is and all the features. If you sign up you sell from affiliate stores, some of which are known, and from others that are no name stores. The business model is quite similar to Amway. So, if you want to do multilevel marketing this might be the book for you but if you are trying to understand why leading e-commerce companies work & how they experience explosive growth the way they do I would try to learn about some of the concepts in the books/titles I mentioned, especially Seth Godin's books. Then, maybe you could leverage those ideas in your own multilevel marketing efforts.

INFORMATIVE, INSTRUCTIONAL, INSPIRATIONAL - THIS BOOK HAS IT.......2001-06-30

I am not a member of Quixtar and bought the book only because several people I know of are. I enjoyed reading Creating Wealth on The Web. Stewart and Sander wrote a book that was easy to read, flowed well, and kept my attention from cover to cover. It was well written and answered a lot of the questions I had but was always afraid to ask my friends....but I think I'll go and call one right now!

Book Description

The post-Cold War is fraught with complexity, especially when viewed against the relative stability of the period of bipolar confrontation. The authors of this work argue that realist and neorealist theories have been singularly deficient in attempting to explain current events, but that despite the lack of such a framework, it is possible to discern general patterns and trends. Using as indicators the salient features of the economies of the major powers - the US, Japan, the European Union, Russia and China - the authors examine the concomitants of the new global system, dominated by economic rather than military considerations. In doing so, they affirm the contemporary relevance of the state in the face of continually advancing globalization.
