THE ROAD TO FINANCIAL MARKETS

Every market is a conversation. Learn to read it.

Every price on a screen is millions of decisions, fears and convictions compressed into a single number. Most people see only the number. The Road to Financial Markets teaches you to understand the conversation behind it: who is speaking, what they mean, and why the price just moved.

Whether you are opening your first trading account or sharpening years of experience, this book takes you step by step from how financial markets work to how professionals analyze them. It is written in plain language, with real-world examples and more than 50 charts and illustrations.

What you will learn

• The six markets: how the debt, equity, commodity, derivatives, foreign exchange and cryptocurrency markets work, and who moves them
• The numbers: reading the balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement, plus ratio analysis and the time value of money
• The mind: the behavioral biases that quietly shape every financial decision, and how to build a disciplined process against them
• The strategies: day trading, swing trading, scalping and position trading, with position sizing, expectancy and risk management
• The charts: Dow Theory, trendlines, channels, support and resistance, chart patterns and price gaps
• The tools: moving averages, RSI, MACD, the Stochastic Oscillator, Parabolic SAR and Bollinger Bands
• The deeper structure: Elliott Wave Theory, Fibonacci ratios and Gann's geometry of price and time

The book goes beyond tools. It looks honestly at what the evidence says about market efficiency, backtesting and the role of artificial intelligence, so you learn not only how to use each technique but when to trust it.
