How Charts Can Help You in the Stock Market (PERSONAL FINANCE & INVESTMENT)

This is a classic book and a must read for anyone interested in technical analysis. I had an old copy of Jiler's book published by Fraser that somehow got lost during house moves, and so this is a good replacement.

Good, no-nonsense introduction to technical analysis. No indicators, just charts. Recommended for newbies and those struggling.

Good read but could have been more illustrative

This book is really a classic. It is a classic because it is so good. It doesn't matter that it was written in the sixties; human nature, fear and greed as reflected in stock prices, is the same now as it was then. This is a good book with ideas clearly spelled out and illustrated. It is a great introduction to charting. In my opinion, more modern authors overly complicate charts. It's really about how many buyers versus sellers there are now and in the recent pass. As will all technical analysis, it is often better in hindsight. But that is like driving using your rear view mirror. By the time you are sure, it is often too late. In both cases, you may end up in a crash. It is very difficult in the heat of trading to have any idea where the market will go. Still, there are some things that help you, such as identifying trends and areas of support and resistance. And I like a few indicators such as MACD and stochastics, but they help time a trade if it continues in the same trend. It is still a crap shoot as to what direction the market will take and change the trend.

Das Buch erklärt in kompakter und einfacher Form, was es mit technischer Analyse auf sich hat. Als Einsteigerwerk in die TA sicherlich empfehlenswert.

Good and very essential book for every trader. I like the psychology behind chart patterns.

Low quality paperback supplied while priced and offered as a hardcover!!

The classic book covers the most important aspects of the technical analysis. Each chapter is short yet it contains most of the things you need to know. The author really thought about what to present and what not to present. I would say this book covers the fundamental aspects of TA in a great depths. I also like the fact that the author really takes the time to explain the psychology behind the chart patterns and its interplay between volume and price.
