This is a comprehensive guide to understanding and interpreting stock and commodity charts. It covers the subject in detail from point and figure charts to candle stick charts.
Every investor should own a copy of a book on Technical Analysis, if not this one, then a comparable volume.
Technical Analysis Made Easy August 19, 2006
19 out of 20 found this review helpful
This is an easy guide to technical analysis of the markets. It could be compared to the Edwards and Magee book on technical analysis. It has lots of illustrations showing many examples of all the items that are covered in this book and there are a lot.
Here is what you get: Chapter 1 Philosophy of Technical Analysis. 2 Dow Theory. 3 Chart Construction. 4 Basic Concepts of Trend. 5 Major Reversal Patterns. 6 Continuation Patterns. 7 Volume and Open Interest. 8 Long Term Charts. 9 Moving Averages. 10 Oscillators and Contrary Opinion. 11 Point and Figure Charting. 12 Japanese Candlesticks. 13 Elliot Wave Theory. 14 Time Cycles. 15 Computers and Trading Systems. 16 Money Management and Trading Tactics. 17 Intermarket Analysis. 18 Stock Market Indicators. 19 Pulling it All Together. 19 chapters all together and like I said it covers a lot of ground.
Like any tech book it is not something that someone sits down to read for their personal enjoyment. This is a book that gives a good overview of a lot of different techniques that are all subjective. The patterns in here are not something you could put into your computer and trade but you will find them useful. The oscillators covered in here are used by most traders. After reading and looking at the different illustrations you will be able to pick out these classic signals while looking at charts. I have used things that are covered in this book like flags and triangles in 5 minute bar charts to make entry or exit decisions in the futures markets.
Overall this is a great book on technical analysis. It will give you an overall understanding of how many patterns and indicators are used. Anyone wanting to become a trader should know this stuff because they will use it. I have software that generates entry and exit signals but the computer can't "see" the chart. The tools in this book have helped me to filter out potentially bad trades and I think it will do the same for you. This is not the answer to trading profitably but it is certainly one of the keys.
