 Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets Oct 24, 2008
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 Oct 19, 2008
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.
Great book, recommend it to anyone interested in technical analysis Oct 06, 2008
Even though it's been written 10 years ago, this book is still relevant today. I recommend it to anyone who's interested in technical analysis

All I can say is wow, using the information I learned in this book lead me to take a short position in Heating Oil a few weeks ago and it worked beautifully. I still have much to learn particually about developing a trading system / style of my own. This book has given the confidence and a point in the right direction. Next up is statistical probabilty study.

 Murphy, Pro and Con Jul 17, 2008
It is a text book, not a trader's manual. On the upside it provides excellent coverage of charts, trends, reversal patterns, continuation patterns and moving averages. It's chapter on Candlesticks is a small gem of information. The coverage of indicators was skimpy, but this gap can be filled with good internet sources.
On the downside, it was often unclear as to whether his writing applied to individual stocks or to stock markets only. The chapter on point and figure was incomprehensible. Money management was skimpy - again go to the Net.
