Author’s Introduction:
Over the last decade I have met many of the top technical analysis “gurus” as well as shared experiences with thousands of newcomers. The common element I’ve discovered among investors who use technical analysis, regardless of their expertise, is the desire to learn more. No single book, nor any collection of books, can provide a complete explanation of technical analysis. Not only is the field too massive, covering every thing from Federal Reserve reports to Fibonacci Arcs, but it is also evolving so quickly that anything written today becomes incomplete (but not obsolete) tomorrow.
Armed with the above knowledge and well aware of the myriad of technical analysis books that are already available, I feel there is a genuine need for a concise book on technical analysis that serves the needs of both the novice and veteran investor. That is what I have strived to create. The first half of this book is for the newcomer. It is an introduction to technical analysis that presents basic concepts and terminology. The second half is a reference that is designed for anyone using technical analysis. It contains concise explanations of numerous technical analysis tools in a reference format.
When my father began using technical analysis thirty years ago, many people considered technical analysis just another 1960’s adventure into the occult. Today, technical analysis is accepted as a viable analytical approach by most universities and brokerage firms. Rarely are large investments made without reviewing the technical climate. Yet even with its acceptance, the number of people who actually perform technical analysis remains relatively small. It is my hope that this book will increase the awareness and use of technical analysis, and in turn, improve the results of those who practice it.

This is the only book about technical analysis that I have read, but it seems more than adequate.

This book is extremely technical and reads like a graduate-level textbook, which I suspect it really is. If you are an experienced trader or financial analyst this may be a good addition to your library, but if you are a relative novice to stock analysis and investing it’s probably not a good investment.

The author Steven B. Achelis put a massive amount of effort and information into this book, and structured every technical analysis study, tool, technique, etc. included into an encylopedia-like format from A to Z. For any trader interested in learning technical analysis beyond their favorite trading tools this IS the book to have. There is also an introductory chapter for traders that are entirely green in the field of technical analysis. Few brokers that I have traded with even have a fourth of the technical tools presented in this book. This indicated to me two things. First, that the majority of brokers do not provide their clients with sufficient technical tools to keep the favor of probability on their side. Second, this book has more information in it that any one broker has technical tools. Of course, after reading this text, I realized that I was being kept out of the loop at my previous broker and immediately switched to one offering the level of technical analysis presented in Achelis’ book.

When this book arrived to me, the first thing that I did was to read about ADX, some rationale about it, how to calculate it, etc. What did I find? Half a page about “interpretation” no only about ADX, but also about +DI, -DI, DX, and ADXR. Nevertheless, that wasn’t the worse, when I told to myself: “well, how can I calculate it”, I found that I must purchase the “A to Z Companion Spreadsheet” to learn how to do it. I am very disappointed. Considering that was my first experience with this book, I don’t know what else surprises I will find.

Good book, but didn’t seem to cover all technical information.
Priscilla Church (verified owner) –
This book is everything. It’s a bible for technical analysis. Quick, cuts to the point. Short background, interpretation, example, chart, and calculation with everything explained. Would be great for algotraders as well. Best reference/learning book I have come across compared to everything else I’ve ever read.
