- A good addition to the trader's library....I found this book to be not too heavy, not too light in dealing with technical analysis. I wanted something that would expand upon the various indicators, etc. a bit more than I would find with a wiki search, and the book hits the target. I'm pleased and I think that others who are looking for something that's more than an "entry-level" book will be pleased as well.

- A mile wide and an inch deep materialI have read more than a dozen books on forex, some good and some bad. I'm afraid this book is somewhere at the bottom. The author kept babbling about self-proclaimed experts in technical analysis all throughout the book it became pathetic. Discussions on most technical indicators was blurry, not the english, but the material simply was not good enough. Very flimsy in many cases and as a result gives you a feeling the author is far from being an authority on the subject. The only reason I gave a generous ... Read More

- Honest Description of TAI bought this book secure in the knowledge of what I didn't know, so the choice of a Dummies book was perfect. When I say that the book was honest, I mean that it made no extravagant claims as to what Technical Analysis (TA) could do for me as an investor.

- Overall, a good introductory book on TAI'm new to individual stock investing, and wanted a good introductory book on TA. I've found the "Dummies" series of books quite good. This book is no exception.
Before reading this book, I wouldn't know trending, momentum, or volume indicators if they bit me. After reading the book, they're my good friends.
When initially "putting my toe in the water", TA seemed quite daunting. After carefully reading the book while pouring over TA charts on various financial websites, I'm now ... Read More

- Typical dummies bookThere was a modest amount of good info embedded in a lot of fluff and useless verbiage which is typical of these dummy books. I found myself having to carefully review and sometimes reread sections to parse out the important bits. I think what I really needed was just a book of pictures of chart patterns with short explanations for each one. Anyway I got enough out of this to get me started but it was more work on my part than it needed to be.
