Andrew Coles and David G. Hawkins, published by Bloomberg Press, an imprint of John
Wiley & Sons. Market interpretation/data analysis system (MIDAS) was developed by physicist
and technical analyst Paul Levine and was inspired by aspects of the volume-weighted averSeptember 2011
age price (VWAP) pricing method, with the idea
being that reversals in trader sentiment, and
thereby market trends, could be accurately predicted using algorithms derived, in part, from
VWAP pricing methods. The authors address
the development of a framework for trading
and investing management using the MIDAS
approach. They also explain in plain English
the basic principles
of MIDAS as originally laid out. The final chapters of the
book detail how the
advances in trading
hardware and software have made it
possible to extend
MIDAS to new areas. This book gets even novices up and running with the knowledge and skills needed to
take full advantage of its power.
