He presents technical analysis solutions for short-, intermediate-, and long-term investors, and even for mutual fund investors.

Rating: - A good TA "and" trading book for relatively advanced players
I am a mechanical trader using primarily trendline, MACD and Stochastics. That explains why I immediately picked this book up when the tagline "Inventor of MACD" on the front cover entered my eyes.
