If you want to start analyzing charts then this book if for you. It gives you an overview of charts, volume and their correlation by touching on support and resistance levels. If you are looking for an in depth book on analysis this is not for you, try Technical Analysis of Stock Trends by Robert D. Edwards and John F. Magee.

In short this book shows some of the best ways in which an amateur analyst can trade and be successful. It will not make the money for you but it does provide the basic techniques by which you can do so!

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.
