Customer Reviews
Good Book
I like the layout and manner of presentation. It's simple and easy to follow. Used along with the study guide, it's a pretty good book to study technical analysis.
Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets
This is an excellent book for those who want to understand technical analysis on a basic to intermediate level of expertise. That is why I gave it 5 stars.
However, if you already have an expertise and are seeing a more technical or deeper understanding of TA, it is not here. I was frustrated to no end thinking I would expand my knowledge with this book. I was especially frustrated in the section on cycles because the author continually referenced the solutions found in another book without repeating them in this book. So I will return this book and get the books the author has referenced hoping the deeper knowledge is there!
Again, if you are starting the path of TA and are looking for a great place to start, it is with this book.
Simply the best
This is the bible of technical analysis. Very thorough & makes a difficult subject easy to grasp.
Good to read from cover to cover or just to keep as a reference guide.
