Rating: - Misleading title and one of the worst
After I run through the book (it's too dry, repetitive and disorganised), my immediate feeling was: "What a sucker I am!" The book title and the front cover is definitely misleading. Instead of telling the hows, the author kept on quoting academic studies of how useless TA had been, and preaching the importance to look into the "context" of individual scenarios. I dont mind how bad the author disliked TA. However, he should have provided a solution, which is nada, but shallow fundamental and behavioural ... Read More

Rating: - Had to Sit On This Review
I had to sit on this review a while and let it simmer. This book is five star material no doubt. It is a 4.5 star because there is one thing that bothers me. The author spent half the book ragging on the faults of TA.

I happen to agree with some aspects of TA and a simple chapter with a problem would have sufficed. In fact I (as a published author) would have started the book with the Nokia and Motoral divergence case that was presented near the end of the book. That simple illustration shows ... Read More

Those that succeed develop a deep understanding of their markets, understanding that requires time, hard work, and intelligence.

Although Mr. Norden claims he didn't intend to write a "how to trade profitably" book (and it probably isn't possible ... Read More

Rating: - Don't bet the bank on TA!
Let me start by saying that I know Gary personally and he has told me to be completely honest about his first book. Firstly, this book is not positioned as a "How To" book. It would possibly sell more if it were because Gary is a successful trader in his own right. The book is primarily an in depth look into how markets REALLY work and how viable is technical analysis in its ability to react appropriately to market information. He lays some compelling evidence to suggest that technical analysis alone is grossly ... Read More
