This is useless- you cannot read it, the font is a disaster. I thought it was the first one I got, asked for a replacement. The replacement came, and it’s exactly the same - unreadable.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A re-readable type of book
    Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2022
    Verified Purchase
    For some reason I stopped at about 40% through this book, read a few others and then came back to this. It felt like this book opened my eyes. The other books only touched on technical analysis with maybe a chapter or so, as they are mainly focused on general things (e.g. differences between trading and investing, stocks vs forex, etc.). Coming back to this book, it felt more detailed, easy to understand and implement. That makes me want to revisit the first 40% that I read so long ago. I might have missed some really good stuff back then.

    As it turns out, I have been making more trades since reading this book, as the charts seem like less of a complete mystery now. They are better trades too, not just random guesses. Most times when I get stopped out of a position, it's not by much, and my call was right more often than not.

    I think I'll re-read this book at least one more time.

    Thanks, Barbara Rockefeller.

    The best book I've read about TA. I'm a newbie trader. Author recommends to NOT pay for a trading course. I didn't take the advice but I wish I had. The course I paid for gave me confidence that I'm not missing out on some secret to trading, but it didn't give me much compared to reading TA for Dummies.
    This book plus Trading in the Zone is enough to give a TA student a great start. GL

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Introduction to Technical Analysis!
    Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2022

    I’m a Fundamental trader that was looking to get an in-depth dive into Technical Analysis. This book turned out to be a great introduction and foundation for further research. I recommend reading this book when you have time to do extra research. After every chapter I’d spend hours testing what I’ve learned on charting software and falling down google’s rabbit hole getting even more in-depth on what I’ve learned. After reading this book I’ve come to the conclusion every active trader should learn both Fundamental & Technical Analysis. Fundamental Analysis and News may be what makes markets move but Technical Analysis is the study of human behavior, the reaction to what made the markets move. Good luck out there fellow traders :)

    PS: Not financial advice ;)

    Buy it and more. Study it and study YouTube videos on chart patterns, look at your trading platform and write every single acronym and place it on a one page paper for each acronym with its word and meaning and how it should look on the chart. Take 3 months to your learning with this book or two, thank yourself for buying it.

    The book is amazing. Very clear, well explained, after taking stock market classes I needed more information. Most stock market educations give you bits here and bits there, but not everything. This book is a great and very helpful tool. I do recommend you to get also the other one on fundamental analysis too. Both go hand in hand.

    Very very nice introduction on the topic. Not a reference book of course. But with only 20 euros and in only 300 something pages it delivers the main take home messages.
