Kamich’s Chart Patterns is the perfect resource for those not yet using candlesticks and for those who are. Whether you use Nison candlesticks or bar charts, the tactics and strategies you use in the market should be clear, and Kamich does a great job of detailing them. While candlesticks (if properly used) excel at giving reversals, they do not give price targets. And using price patterns is a prime way we determine targets for our clients.
Price is a fact. And price leaves patterns. This wonderful book, written by Bruce Kamich, will give the reader insights into what investors are really doing by identifying and following their buying and selling patterns. Learn about the pioneers who identified these patterns and where they typically form during a stock’s normal life-cycle. Chart Patterns takes us through the thought process an analyst or trader should use. Kamich looks at myriad patterns, illustrating how they work, when they work, how to use them, and what to do when they don’t work. Any serious student of trading and investing will benefit from this methodical study of chart patterns.
In these days of computer-aided technical analysis, we often forget the basics. Worse yet, many plunge in without ever learning them, only to wonder later why they are having trouble. Complexity and speed are now the name of the game, but underlying modern technical analysis there are a few valuable patterns that have stood the test of time, patterns that depict the basic market mechanism at work. For those who want to understand what is going on and who want to hear the message of the markets, Mr. Kamich’s exposition of these core TA patterns will prove invaluable.

Found he drums into you early on about a particular pattern, mainly for good reasons. This makes the book hard to get into but once you do the information is invaluable. Worth every penny and an enjoyable read

Kamish wrote an interesting book and his chart reading is ok.
But in order to learn how to trade well you need a lot more and this is why i often recommend the books of Toby Crabel or Linda Raschke which actually may be out of print at this point. Both are real traders, and hedge fund managers. Kamish works for a big investment firm, so he is very constraint in how far he goes out to share his real secrets and i often feel he shares one side of the story while we never get to hear the other. Overall, good book.

This is a well written, edited, and organized book on a subject close to advanced investors and active traders. The author focuses on the principal chart patterns that, having stood the test of time, predominate, and whose analysis can be rewarding. It is not an encyclopedia of chart patterns.
The author documents some of the historical background surrounding the use of chart patterns, an element that shows the author’s indepth level of research in this subject. Each pattern is described and explained with excellent examples, and references are provided for those interested in further study.
The book is not the heavy, lengthy tome that often characterizes this subject. The writing is first class adding to its educational value and distinguishing it from the hard reading that often marks technical analysis. It is an excellent source to have in one’s library.

This book clearly shows Professor Kamich’s mastery of the subject. I must say I am privileged to have him as a professor of finance at Baruch College at the City University of New York. Prof. Kamich’s pragmatism is apparent in choosing the size of the book. The book is what the French call “Tout cuit”. A very small size and thin book which could be carried easily anywhere but yet has everything one needs to learn about chart patterns.
The work produced by Prof. Kamich in this book testifies to the experience accumulated from different scholar accomplishments (book written) and multiple responsible positions held (Vice President at Morgan Stanley Smith Barney’s Technical analysis Group and coauthors their flagship publication the Daily Technical Market Leader etc……). The book consists of thirteen chapters which begins by Why Study Patterns and ends with The Future of Chart Patterns which is a complete package of charts patterns. Throughout the book I can see again and again how sharp, precise coherent the author is and reminds me the man I have known in class. Remember one thing the author has been working on chart patterns since the late sixties.

I did not find anything new than what is already available in the market.
For short term investors I would recommend “24 Essential Lessions” by Bill O’ Neil. Bloomberg Press does not seem to produce quality materials.

I think there is a good layout of classic patterns. Mr. Kamich provides good historical sources to show some differences on the patterns. Clearly laid out and explained. This a good short authority to introduce or deepen an understanding of certain technical analysis and chart patterns. Worthwhile.

Not very well written. You can get the same information on the internet in clearer formats and clearer language. Would not recommend this book for either the beginner and definitely not those already familiar with chart patterns.

Expertly written, copiously illustrated.

I love it! This book is one of the best fundamentals for technical trading analysis. Although myself I believe more in the Quant Analysis, but anyway it’s a good guidance book.
Hector Humphrey (verified owner) –
This is just a generic overview of chart patterns. The information in the book does talk about more recent events such as the Lehman collapse and the recession of 2008. For just about every chart there are 3 pages of long-winded explanations. The author doesnt bring up any new ideas or patterns. Most of the information can be found for free over at investopedia if you are willing to do a little digging.

Great book for beginner or experienced technical analysis trader. Well thought out and organized in an easy to understand manner.

The book was easy to read. The author made a dull subject enteresting enough for me to finish the book in just a couple of days. Some of the concepts may seem to be a little confusing, however if you take the time to understand why the patterns form they will make sense. A good read for any investor.
