Charting and Technical Analysis

very use full book , essential , technical and fundamental theory help me good straggly my profit .

The book covers an explanation of the symbols used in charting but the claims made, that these symbolic indicators suggest a market direction, is voodoo. This is not the author's fault since he is merely relating the pocket industry theory. It is not possible to detect the trend with this kind of analysis. However, what I would say is that if you intend to be a serious investor this book is very useful to understand the language of the market. I recommend Amazon buy " Buffett's 2 - Step Stock Market Strategy and would state that investing is a long term strategy to preserve your savings from inflation depletion and hopefully pick up additional % gains over the years. This book is a good research reference but don't think it will make you money because it will not.

This is a first rate guide to intermediate level charting. I Will need to read it a couple more times to take it all in but it's very accessible and easy to understand with practical examples. I have read a large number of books on charting and investing and this is possibly the most accessible book on charting I have come across. I would strongly recommend reading this before going into more advanced charting books like Pring's for example which is heavy going. I would classify this as Required Reading

Easy to read, simple to understand, I find it a valuable book to read for any one who wants to have a solid knowledge in trading.

Explains further into specific candle sticks and what this may imply, very well written and easy to understand. One of my favourite trading books so far.

Receive item, overall a good read.

A good concise book on technical analysis to try and further develop or consolidate some knowledge already acquired. It does assume a little bit of basic knowledge but I would recommend to went beginner.

The text is fine but the charts and images look like they are zoomed in about 50x, very faded and pixelated. The paper quality is pretty poor. If you don't need glasses you'll feel like you will, that kind of vibe. BUT, the info is great for a grand introductory sweep of terms etc.

As I have been trading for a while, I began by skimming through this book. By page 40 I decided to go back to the beginning and read it thoroughly. Every topic is clearly and concisely written with a simplicity that makes it easy to understand and comprehend to beginning and more advanced traders. I was impressed by the fact that the important aspect of the psychology behind price patterns was outlined which is important as you comprehend the reason why some price patterns can be relied upon while others less so. Another aspect that is specially difficult with a book based on charting patterns, is the fact that each chart tells a story which is unfolded as each new candlestick prints, and keeping pace with that story thought the chart can be complex and confusing. Mr. McAllen deals with this in a refreshingly clear manner, enough detail to make the topic clear without drowning it in a sea of detail. This book is very worthwhile and I would certainly recommend it to all.

Good reading and good information. Recommend

Injects lots of knowledge into trading skills. Complete package to understand from basic to advanced. My sincere thanks to Fred McAllen.

Według mnie jest to mocno przeciętna książka. Cała zawarta w niej wiedza jest dostępna w internecie bez większego wysiłku w szukaniu jej. Z pewnością książka pomoże totalnym żółtodziobom, ale nie jest to wiedza, która spowoduje, że zaczniesz zarabiać na rynku.

I really recommended the book for begginers, it will help you with some usefull tips. I miss a better pictures, they are dark. That's why a 4 star
