Great book not only to learn technical analysis, but also to learn behavioral finance, the psychology behind the technical patterns.
Ahmad Donovan (verified owner) –
The book is a good introduction to the fundamentals of technical analysis. The style is clear and it provides enough practical examples. Obviously it presents only the first steps and prospective traders need to deepen the subjects on further readings. But overall the book gives very good and clear explanations of the basics of technical indicators, candlestick patterns and does a good job also explaining their limitations.
Azariah Zuniga (verified owner) –
Everyone who is interested in becomming a trader should read this book.
Dennis Wu (verified owner) –
The content of the book itself is very good, but my book was defective and the cover was all loose
Flynn Gilmore (verified owner) –
This book is very useful for studying Financial Technical Analysis.
Many traders lack the necessary knowledge to make professional chart analysis
when trading shares, indices, commodities and Forex.
This is one of the books you will need to become an expert.

I havent finished the technical book yet (more than 700pages) but Ive learned a lot. Its going to hlep me in my retirement.
Reid Beck (verified owner) –
I bought this book hoping that it was not yet another watered-down boring book on this subject, and boy was I not wrong. This book was technical and provided the in-depth info that I was trying to find.
Alma Navarro (verified owner) –
Probably one of the best “general” books on technical analysis. If you a reference book or a book to start with, look no further!
Carlos Erickson (verified owner) –
really good book
Melina Munoz (verified owner) –
Fine. Thank you.
Liana Ross (verified owner) –
Its a must read book. I bought it a few years ago and I still use it. Good “market bible”. I highly recommend it.
Sky Sierra (verified owner) –
very nice read with examples for people relatively new to stock trading.
Zachary Moreno (verified owner) –
The best book on Technical analysis I have ever read, and I have read many.
Mary Reyes (verified owner) –
A very comprehensive book on technical analysis. For a topic with a lot of technical jargon, the author explains it in a relativley digestible manner. The book could have done a better job synthesizing the info and provideninsights into the most effective analysis methods.
Fox McLean (verified owner) –
The book does a nice job of covering the topics and gives some very sound explanations of the concepts. I would recommend the book to anyone interested in technical analysis. It is not perfect, but I think its among the best I have read. I recommend the book.
Dayton Conley (verified owner) –
Nice!
Sincere Cochran (verified owner) –
Best book on technical trading I have ever seen. It has so much packed into it. I have only read and taken notes on the first couple chapters, but already it has been eye opening. I can’t wait to dive into the specific strategies this book talks about.
Vicente Daugherty (verified owner) –
Good basic book to get started. Indepth enough short of the college text books.
Wesley Cooper (verified owner) –
This is a PURE text book. It helps you understand basic concepts if you are a college student and completely new to technical analysis. But if you are looking for something practical for real world trading, this book is definitely not your best choice.
Emerson Barnes (verified owner) –
A great review of the core of technical analysis by one of the masters. Explanations are clear and concise and the writing style is very readable. If you want to learn the basics of technical analysis, this is probably the best source. I have read 2 editions and the improvement and update was notable.

Currently on chapter 4 and already finding lots of problems.
This book proposes theoretical concepts with easy/idolized sketches to illustrate each concept. Unfortunately, the verification of the presented theory by real market examples shows poor agreement when critically evaluated. To restate, the “proof” of trend behavior seems cherry picked and inconsistent between figures.
Furthermore, the book seems to be full of typos. In chapter 2, the figure numbers in the text do not match the actual figures being described. Upon doing a critical comparison of charts 2.3-2.5 to the presented theory in the chapter, I hardly find justification for the asserted trends proposed from the data. The figures also have no legends or descriptive captions to explain the use of dashed or solid arrows. In chart 3.1 (a rare example of a figure with a legend) the legend is a typo.
I’ve come to the conclusion that if you leisurely read this book and accept the “trends” without critical evaluation, you will believe you are being given valuable knowledge. If you attempt to study the chapters you will find it’s bologna.
As stated above, I’m far from finishing the book. This review will be updated as I continue, if I find it necessary. Though, if this pattern continues, I will likely cut my losses and just throw the book away..
Eli Gates (verified owner) –
