 Excellent reference for technical indicators December 30, 2007
I wanted to understand technical market analysis techniques just over a year ago. As a computer programmer I was looking for a source that would explain all the various technical indicators out there. This book fits that need perfectly. I use this book constantly as a reference when developing programs to scan markets for entry and exit signals.
This is not a "get rich quick" on the stock market book. This is more an encyclopedia of technical analysis tools. There is a lot of talk about theory in this book and it may put off people looking for a simple way to start trading. Each tool is discussed in terms of how it functions in detail as well as it's the pros and cons.
For those who want to develop their own system of technical alerts this book will be a gold mine of information. Over the last 6 months I have come to better understand market indicators thanks to this book. If you serious about understanding technical market analysis you need to have this book.

This is an excellent book for a non-professional online investor. It helps you orient yourself to market trends by explaining how to interpt technical charts and what the significant changes in tecnical charts means in predicting a single stock or general market trend. It is easy to understand for the non-technical investor. Was recommended to me by a stock broker and worth the cost of the text.

Good Even for a Random Walker July 22, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This book is a very well written introduction to the Technical Analysis of the financial markets. It covers a lot of ground and for a text book style layout, it is surprisingly easy to read. Murphy starts with a solid introduction including the philosophy of technical analysis and a defense against the criticisms from academics and followers of the Random Walk Theory. The meat of the book is a comprehensive treatment of the core components of technical analysis including Trendlines, Reversal and Continuation Patterns, Moving Averages, and Oscillators. The author continues to dig deeper with Point & Figure Charts, Japanese Candlesticks, and Eliott Wave Theory.
As a big fan of Malkiel's "Random Walk Down Wall Street," I started reading this book with some healthy skepticism. While I was not converted to the chartist's philosophy, I felt like I did pick up some tools that could still be useful in a buy-and-hold strategy.
