      About the author

      Dominic Picarda is a Chartered Market Technician and has coordinated the Investors Chronicle’s charting coverage for four years. He also holds the Chartered Financial Analyst qualification.

      Introduction

      In the first eBook in the present series, you learnt how trading FX and CFDs via Direct Market Access (DMA) can:

      give you a better insight into the forces in the LMAX market;

      speed up your trades; and

      lower your trading costs.

      If you’ve read the first eBook, you will already have seen examples of how these features of trading on LMAX can be used to trade more rapidly and, potentially, more profitably. Now let’s look at how you can exploit these features in order to pursue trading strategies and techniques.

      In this eBook, you will learn how it can be possible to:

      anticipate future price movements using charts and the LMAX order book;

      ride very short-term momentum in the market;

      set prices on LMAX; and

      use fundamental information to make trading decisions.

      Foreword

      LMAX has set out to deliver the benefits and efficiencies of exchange trading to the private investor. We have a very different model from anyone else and believe that traders will find it extremely attractive.
