Rating: - Great Intro to TA for Beginners
I am writing this review retro as I bought it several years ago, and I think for a very basic, easy to understand approach, it was the best one on the shelf. One, he starts with the most basic idea and progresses to more difficult. Two, it includes a CD with self tests after each chapter. If you cant get the test right, then you didnt get the material so it is a good checkup on your understanding of the material covered. Third, I still find it uncommon to see instructional manuals and the like in audio or video format. I get really tired of reading text all the time. Pring responds in audio after each question and tells you why its right or wrong. Again, what good to know the right answer if you dont understand why its right! This book is a great beginner book for first timers and a step closer to the AV interactive books that are the next technology.

Rating: - If you believe the markets are Fundamental, Technical, and
Psychological this will be a valuable read. There are some nuggets of wisdom in this book despite the typos. Pring is highly respected in TA.
I am currently studying his TA Explained book to pass the CMT.
I think many investors overlook the benefit of understanding and learning investor and market psychology. To realize that Fundamental, Technical, AND Psychology can have equal footing in investing was a
breakthrough for me.
I enjoyed studying this book along side Reminiscences of a Stock Operator.
Created some of my trading plan based on this book...
Study hard and the market WILL reward.

Rating: - A brother of 'Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets'
With John Murphy's book 'Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets', this book should also be studied diligently. This book contain a few technical nuggets which only Martin Pring can offer in depth detail.

Rating: - Great book, just takes a lot of time to read!
Great book. I got it thinking it'd relate mostly to candle charts. But it covers everything. The book is pretty confusing at first and takes awhile to get used to the author's writing style. He uses words that college business students should understand. It'll take you forever to read, if you want to learn what it has to offer, but it's well worth it. Just google the topics after reviewing to get a full understanding of what Pring offers. Well worth the $10 used price (got lucky!.

Rating: - a must read for those who try to understand technical analysis
I have nothing to say more than what I said in the title , this book is essential for learning technical analysis , no wonder why it's included in most of the reading lists of the technical analysis certificates .
