A Beginner’s Guide to Charting Financial Markets is about arming investors with one simple tool that will enhance the investment decision-making process – the chart. It is not the Holy Grail and even if applied exactly as offered there is no guarantee that the reader will be successful. But owning a high quality hammer is no guarantee that the user will build a beautiful house.
Introduction:
This book is in two parts, the first laying the groundwork and the second putting that knowledge to the test. One theme the reader will notice is that we are searching for the spirit of the analysis and are not concerned with precision and picky details. After all, no matter how fancy the indicators and how complex the maths behind any investment system, the bottom line is answering the question: “Do we buy it or not?”
What this book will do is give the reader the basics needed to look at a chart and get a feel for what the market or individual stock is doing. It will cover only the nuts and bolts of chart analysis, barely touching upon the next level concepts, and definitely leaving the whiz-bang stuff well alone.
It should be stressed that this book will not replace the reader’s current methods of stock selection and investment strategies. What it can do, however, is add a new dimension to the analysis to confirm or refute what is already known. Basically, there is no need to give up other methods for selecting stocks, although by the end of the book the reader may be drawn to further learning and eventually discover that charts can, indeed, be the primary, if not sole, investment decision-making tools.

- The Basics Of Chart Reading

This is one simple, albeit high-quality, tool that will enhance your chances of trading profitably. This book strips out the fancy indicators and gives you the basics needed to look at a chart and get a feel for what the market or the individual stock is doing. It covers the nuts and bolts of chart analysis.

A good entry level book – others I have tried go too in depth too soon, This is a good little starting tool

Just superb. Best PRIMER book for Long Term Investors who want to include an edge in their investment by inclusion of CHARTING in their Analytic arsenal. After a long search, I felt myself blessed to reach the perfect destination to begin with my First Step into Technical Analysis.

Great service and happy with the book, easy understanding should we want to learn to trade

This book was very easy to understand and a great introduction to charting. BUT examples were very limited and for that reason I think for some it may be a little more difficulty to fully grasp the concepts. I don’t think this book can really help you break into the market but rather give you a general overview of what to expect, not necessarily how to play it.
With more examples, I think this book would be great for learning charting but because it lacks these examples I had to give it three stars 🙁

I very much enjoyed Mr. Kahns simple no nonsense way of explaining the basics of charting. This is a great read for the new investor looking for basic information to start the learning and understanding of charting.

Great reading. Good Guide for beginners!!
Wish examples were across global financial markets. A must read who want to start with technical analysis.

Excellent read for a beginner. Still will need to continue educating, but it gets you entranced into it to start. Little dated for examples, but still the underlying concept is there. This is my recommendation for a first read always.
