The title Breakthroughs in Technical Analysis: New Thinking from the World’s Top Minds truly captures what we tried to accomplish in bringing the insights of these experts together. The ten contributors are among the leading technical analysts in the world, and they all demonstrate specific techniques they’ve used with great success over time. Some of our contributors present new; techniques that they’ve developed or refined in the last couple years. Others take methodologies that have been used for decades and show how they can be adapted to today’s global financial markets.
Author’s Introduction:
All of the authors in this book have developed certain techniques that have helped them to successfully trade and analyze various global markets. This book is designed to bring their ideas together and help von draw on their experiences and incorporate their concepts into your own trading. In planning the book, I realized that although more and more investors had broadened their approach to allow for international markets, the existing technical analysis literature was still quite localized. In meeting with technical analysts and traders from around the world and from organizations such as the Market Technicians Association, I’ve learned that each region has its own experts who have successfully tailored their technical strategies to the local markets.
The goal for the book was to assemble some of the top minds in the field from all parts of the world and have them share their insights into how price and volume analysis can help investors identify profitable trading opportunities. The end result is a powerful illustration of how interrelated the financial markets really are: it’s also a testament to the global reach of technical analysis as a language of the markets.
Each chapter in $reakthroughs in Technical Analysis is intended to stand independently. You can study a single chapter, and then apply those concepts to your own charts and markets before you move on to another. Keep in mind that although the author may be writing about, say, Australian index futures or U.S. Treasury spreads, the concepts discussed can be readily applied to any market, and often on different time periods than those discussed in the chapter.

Breakthroughs in Technical Analysis: New Thinking From the World's Top Minds By David Keller pdf

The concepts and experiences shared by the ten global contributors in David Keller’s book embody the precept that supply and demand for technical analysis is indeed a universal language. These varied topics are very timely and extremely useful in trading and investing in all markets around the world.

Good enough introduction to the basics of some higher-level technical analysis and their thinking, but not very in depth on any of them. You’ll have to spend a lot more money (literally thousands) for the in depth, advanced courses that actually teach youohow to use many of these systems – for example, Drummond Geometry or deMark. This book is a good starting place, but nothing more than that.

This is not a book that I expected to be a contancebrown book. It’s a complete saladbar approach by having each chapter written by authors using different approaches but nothin that you can end up using because either it’s something so basic that you already know or something that needs more through studying.

A quick overview of some not well known but interesting methods like Drummong Geometry and Schaffer expectional analysis more some interesting insigths on more traditional methods (Gann , P&F, fibonacci, Japanys clouds,..).
Interesting for who needs a basic idea of many different methods.
A wide trasversal knowledge even if very basic is always usefull for new ideas and developing of eveyone’s trading framework

This book has chapters written by several of the best technical analysts in the business. More recent research than the classics by Magee and Murphy. It’s well worth the money.

This book discusses some of the breakthrough in technical analysis and some of the NON BREAK THROUGH IN TECHNICAL ANALYSIS!!!!!! The authors are technical analyst known in the industry who talks about some of their methods, some of these methods are good and eye opining like the COMPOSITE INDEX FORMULA that detect RSI divergence failures by Constance brown, adding candle sticks to each other….etc. But in total you will only get 3 good chapters, the rest of the methods are not impressive at all :/ I wouldn’t either call them break through. And others which needed more explanation!!! I am guessing I need to pay more for it :/.

This book has one excellent chapter – chapter 4, on candlestick analysis, by Yosuke Shimizu. The author should write an entire book. I’d be the first to buy it. The rest of the book is a collection of chapters written by people promoting their own proprietary methodologies. Overall, this book is not useful for the person wishing to expand their technical knowledge.
