5.0 out of 5 stars Analyzing Bar Charts for Profit, December 15, 1999

By

This review is from: Analyzing Bar Charts for Profit: Technical Analysis As an Aid to Decision Making for the 1990s and Beyond (Hardcover)

This is one of the best books ever written on classical technical analysis of chart patterns. Simple, concise, together with measurement formulae. A must have for every trader.

John Magee also wrote another book in 1958 named The General Semantics of Wall Street, which is out of print, but can be purchased secondhand at places like www.biliofind.com. The book has nothing to do with actual trading, and deals with the most important subject: the mental aspect of trading, thinking and perceiving the world in an accurate fashion. After 13 years of trading, this old book has earned a place on my recommended reading list.
