Customer Reviews

Good Introduction for the beginner or as a refresher.

Pring does an excellent job of providing the beginner with all of the basics of technical analysis (TA). I have traded stocks for over 15 years and have been trading the spot Forex market. I learned quite a bit about TA several years ago, but thought I would like to continue my education in this area. My only problem with this particular book/CD is that the CD presentation could/should have been more polished. However,...

Best Back to Basics Book I Have Read

Virtually all the great traders, regardless of whether they are technical, fundamental or both agree on keeping your ideas simple. Why do pro athletes go over the basics during training and practice? Because that is where a lot of games or won or lost. Get the bssics right. Only fools think they know it all. Too many people especially in technical analysis like to have complicated theories with interpretaions that for the...

Excellent for beginners and as a trading reference

When it comes to trading, basic is best. My trading library has grown extensively but the basic principals outlined in this excellent tutorial are the ones that have resulted in profits. I have returned to the basics and I now use this CD and workbook as my reference. I like that the workbook exactly follows the CD because I know that when I am reviewing the book I am getting everything explained in the CD. I would...

One of the best books I've read

I've probably bought over 100 trading books and this one stands out as one the top 3 I've bought. Even though I've been involved in trading for a few years and nearly didn't buy this book , thinking I already knew it all , I was pleased to find a wealth of information in Mr. Prings book that I had either forgotten or never learned properly. The CD was very useful, anything I hadn't retained from reading the book was picked...

Simple and informative. Outstanding!

Like many in my field, I've had the pleasure of reading many of Mr. Pring's works. They are all a must read. He is considered by many in our industry as the final authortiy in the field. His recent piece which includes a CD makes Technial Analysis understandable and even easier to assimilate. This is a must read for any one interested in the subject.B.D., Technical Analysit
