The Janus Factor: Trend Follower’s Guide To Market Dialectics

Book Cover Image(170 pages, $75 hardcover, 2012, ISBN 978-1-118-08707) by Gary Edwin Anderson, published by Bloomberg Press, an imprint of John Wiley & Sons.

To a trader, some profits may seem to come more easily than others. A powerful influence on your trading results is the Janus factor. The Roman god Janus had two opposing faces, suggesting the two-sided nature of things. This metaphor explains the dual nature of markets and how the markets vacillate between the environments dominated by trend-followers and contrarian bargain hunters. This book addresses the shifts that can help you improve your odds of success and how to avoid low-probability trades. The work has insight into market behavior and methods for interpreting stock market trends to help you enter and exit trades with confidence.
