- excellent read
Great book. I'd recommend it to anybody considering using technical analysis for trading. Very insightful, easy-to-read and understand. Mr. Pistolese has many worthy reads on the subject. I've learned a lot and have yet to be disappointed.

Please read before buying:
============================
I bought this book with an intention that, I will be able to analyse the charts of the market and a specific stock. Of course, all know that 'history is not basis for future of any stock'.
After reading this book, I was not at all satisfied. Only very basic charts (only 3 basic graphs) were explained and that too only for few pages. I believe, that basic information need not be bought and should be found any where on the internet. The graph you see on the cover page of the book (some triangle it is called) and I expected the explanation of such a triangle (which i believe is a good concept) in this book, but it was NOT there in the book.
I don't even suggest this book for the very beginner. There is seriously nothing in this book, NOTHING. Believe me friends, please don't waste your money on this book.
In a nut shell, this book will not help you in any way to select a winning stock, defeating the basic title/purpose of the book.
Rating: - It is good if you do not know what a stock is
This book is not very good. It gives very basic info and does not go to in depth in it's analysis. If you are brand new to trading, like maybe know nothing about it-this will give you some basics. It is good for giving some web sites.
It is very bad in it's use of Yahoo. Not that using Yahoo is a bad thing. The author tells you to click here and there and then says, "if it looks like this then it is in a bull/bear market". Then how about showing an example of this? It is good in giving instructions but not very good in showing what it looks like.
I feel it was a waste of money unless you have absolutely no exposure to investing what so ever-it would make a good starters book. "All about Technical Analysis" by Constance Brown is a better text, way better. If you are looking foe a bit more in depth "Chart your way to Profits" by Tim Knight is good. I also like "Technical Analysis from A to Z" by Steven B. Achellis
Rating: - Excellent book
I started reading about investing one year ago, and lately became interested in Technical Analysis as a valuable investing tool. I have read a few books. This one was the one that told me most in the shortest time. It also answered some important questions regarding how to suspect that the market may be turning from bull to bear and what to do about it.
I was impressed by Mr. Pistolese ability as a writer, he does not waste paper and readers time. Also informs you about some websites and how to use them to get the necessary information about different investments possibilities, but not too many, just what is needed.
In conclusion: I have ordered another book of Pistolese instead of other I have in my short list.

Rating: - A very comprehensive and practical trading book.
The Select Winning Stock Using Technical Analysis book is one of the most practical trading books that I have read. It is not only practical but very comprehensive.
What I found more helpful about this book was the process provided to select and analyze any stock, the references to several valuable investment and trade related websites and its clarity and practicality.
This book gave me the practical guidance to start doing my own methodical research and the confidence that I was looking for to start trading.
