Customer Reviews

Great learning material

Technical Analysis is a great source for understanding and reading charts. It provides mechanical steps for each element of the chart, and builds on itself as you move forward. There are practical exercises at the end of each section for you to test yourself. It's great for wanting to know all the technical terms and financial jargon when analyzing patterns. Most textbooks that you read during school give you the information, plus a long-winded explanation followed by countless examples that provide more than what is necessary for you to know. With this book, it is straightforward and to the point with each technique that it introduces. I recommend this for anyone who wants to read technical charts like a pro.

A Great Study Guide

This book did a great job in teaching you how to read technical charts. Each chapter builds on the one before and it gives you an opportunity to test out your knowledge before moving onto the next chapter. The graphs are easy to follow and the terminologies are well defined. This book does not waste time giving long winded explanations, it simply shows you what it is, what it does, and how it affects your decisions. This book is a must read for anyone who wants to learn to read technical charts effectively.

A Great book for the beginner.

As a futures broker, from time to time, I find it difficult to explain the different methods of technical analysis to my novice customers. This book does a great job teaching the fundamentals of Technical analysis. I now recommend this book to all of my customers who need help understanding the basics. (I have, on occasion bought it for them) Another excellent book by the same author is called "Futures: A Personal Seminar". Both books are great for beginners. If you are looking for a broker who can help you in this area of trading, send me an e-mail at the above address.
