Technical Analysis Guidebook |
| This easy reading book does a very good job of outlining well-known technical analysis techniques. Though the book should help you identify a chart pattern as it is forming, it does not give you any indication of the probability of completing its pattern. |

The Technical Analyst's bible |
This is the authoritative reference for Technical Analysis and should be in the toolbox of every technical trader, and the non-technical traders could benefit from it as well. Like a dictionary, it's something you should keep handy in your office.
For beginners, however, there is a lot of information that will be hard to distill. You'll be introduced to a bewildering array of patterns, oscillators, and indicators, and be faced with a confusing complexity of choices about when to use what. There isn't a lot about strategy; he introduces the tools, and leaves the rest up to you. What the book book contains about the psychological underpinnings of technical analysis is intriguing, but there ain't much -- just a couple of paragraphs!
Again: this book's value is as a REFERENCE. Don't base your strategies on it necessarily, but use it to supplement books by people like Dave Landry or Toni Turner. But for any trader John Murphy's book is a must-have; no question about it. |
