Market Moves
by: Colin Alexander

Hardcover: ISBN 0-930233-58-1
(Windsor Books, 1997) 171 pp.

Developed by one of the futures industry's most innovative thinkers, the Five Star system:

• Makes Big Money
• Manages Risk
• Is 90 Percent Objective
• Is Easy to Use
• Works in All Markets
  

The Five Star system accomplishes five prime objectives:

1. It equals or surpasses on all counts most of the best trading systems available, including those selling for thousands of dollars.
   
   
2. It is at least 90 percent objective and, therefore, non-discretionary.
   
   
3. It catches most of the biggest market moves and also filters out most of the trades in markets subject to whipsaw action.
   
   
4. It trades with the direction of dominant market forces and has, therefore, low vulnerability to self-destruct from widespread use.
   
   
5. It is worthy of becoming recognized as a standard authority on how to trade futures, both for industry and personal traders.
