The Technical Analysis of Stocks, Options and Futures |
| by William F. Eng
|
Average Customer Rating:  (6 customer reviews) |
One person's view of how various technical analysis tools can be organized into
a mechanical structure that enables a person to trade better no matter what the
market condition is. Why should we listen? Because the author is a seasoned
professional trader of his time.
Each chapter of the book focuses on one technical indicator or technical
discipline. Many examples are provided to illustrate the concepts and how they
are used in interpreting charts and making trade decisions. The rules explained
in the book are pretty explicit so they are easy to understand. One of the most
important feature of the book is not inside the chapters though, which are the
2 big tables printed inside the front cover and the back cover. They are the
ground rules and the core framework Eng is trying to convey to the readers. |

Technical Analysis of Stock Trends, 8th Edition |
| by Robert D. Edwards, John Magee, W.H.C. Bassetti
|
| Average Customer Rating: (35 customer reviews) |
Technical Analysis of Stock Trends, 8th Edition, is a critical reference for
investors--especially in today's tumultuous markets. This seminal book--the
first to produce a methodology for interpreting and profiting from the
predictable behavior of investors and markets--revolutionized technical
investment approaches and continues to show traders and investors how to make
money regardless of what the market is doing.
Now, with the addition of noted technical analysis authority W. H. Charles
Bassetti (editor)--as well as charts and graphs that pertain to today's market
environment and major stocks--this completely updated and revised edition
confirms the wisdom of the original work for today's markets.
It is a book that was originally written in the 1940's that is equally valid to
anyone trying to play the stock market in the Twenty First Century.

How Technical Analysis Works (New York Institute of Finance) |
| by Bruce M. Kamich
|
| Average Customer Rating: (8 customer reviews) |
Unlike most introductory books, it neither over simplifies, nor does it make it
seem as if you need a PhD to learn how to use technical analysis. The book
explains how and why technical patterns and indicators work in an entertaining
way. On top of that, the examples of patterns in the book are not "text book".
You actually get to see what these things might look like in the real world
instead of the perfect picture you see in most books.
This is an excellent book for beginners and intermediate traders. It explains
TA in a deep but simple way. The real value of this book (for me) is that it
explains what is happening, who is buying and who is selling during chart
patterns. It also explains how to trade each pattern.

Elliott Wave Principle: Key to Market Behavior |
| by A.J. Frost, Robert R. Jr. Prechter, Charles J. Collins
|
Average Customer Rating:  (29 customer reviews) |
Obviouosly people either love this book (and this concept) or they hate it.
The book follows the basics of identifying waves and cycles with some
historical and matehmatical background information. This is where Pretcher ties
the material in with nature. He believes that waves move in a natural way,
which can be described by the Fibonacci sequence and Fibonacci ratios. He
advocates using Fibonnaci ratios to forecast the distance (e.g. percent change)
and timing of stock price movements.
Prechter's Elliott Wave International has a web site at
elliottwave.com. The site provides additional information which may
make a stronger case for the validity and importance of this information.

simplifies the issue of how to profit in the market. How can anyone argue with
the cold hard performance numbers.
It does not give you the save all formula for trading. It does not provide the

method for years - decades.
Its easy to read and quick to comprehend.

High Probability trading |
| by Marcel Link
|
| Average Customer Rating: (66 customer reviews) |
A common denominator among most new traders is that, within six months of
launching their new pursuit, they are out of money and out of trading.
High-Probability Trading softens the impact of this "trader's tuition,"
detailing a comprehensive program for weathering those perilous first months
and becoming a profitable trader.
While successful trading requires tremendous skill and knowledge, it begins and
ends with mindset. What do exceptional traders think when they purchase a
quality stock and the price immediately plummets? How do they keep one bad
trade from destroying their confidence--and bankroll? What do they know that
the rest of us don't?
