As a well-known commodity trading adviser, Tinghino developed a cyclical model for market timing which relies on a combination of many separate cycles. In a book introduced by noted analyst Alan Rohrbach, he demystifies chart patterns and other technical analysis approaches, and introduces the specifics and applications of his money-management strategy. Appended material includes a list of commonly used technical indicators, futures products with high daily volume, and resources (educational, news, and software products).
