Rating: - There Are Better T/A Books


This book is OK but nothing special. He uses some tools that I have never seen in any TA software like Market Profile. Also lots of stuff on point & figure plus candlesticks which I do not use too much.

There are some new approaches but you may want to look at other books.

Rating: - Highly Recommended!
In this compilation edited by Morgan Stanley Dean Witter technical strategist Rick Bensignor, a dozen financial experts discuss their individual approaches to technical analysis of the stock market. In the first chapter, equities, options and futures trader Linda Bradford Rasche explains swing trading and the underlying principles of technical analysis, thus providing an important primer for understanding the theories in the rest of the book. This is a complex read, since technical analysis involves using various mathematical systems to examine market trends and swings. Those who follow the market closely will find this engrossing, but amateurs could be daunted. We [...] recommend the book to serious students of the markets - It's not for the casual browser or those who are not mathematically inclined, but its targeted readers will be quite satisfied.

Rating: - A new perspective on TA
This is an excellent book for both novices and experienced technical analysts and traders. The beginner will discover in a clear and concise way the main ramifications of this discipline, and choose the most appropriate instruments for his style and personality. The seasoned technician will fine tune his approach to the instruments presented in the book. The authors go straight to the point and offer an involving overview. I personally found of particular interest the two chapters dedicated to sentiment analysis, a topic often underestimated in TA books and articles, but one that can add a new dimension to one's trading and investment style. A revised edition could go deeper into the issue of mechanical systems.

Rating: - FEAR NOT HAVE NOT
Fear not have not simply stands for "fibbonacci,elliot,analysis retracement" which means nothing ventured nothing gained. I've been trading stocks and futures for a long time and this book is informative, insightful and practical. I'm pretty well versed at technical analysis and I think you will definitely find shooting stars other than in the sky. Well worth the price of a trade!
