Dynamic Technical Analysis (DTA) is an exciting new progression from the well-established technique of Technical Analysis (TA). The charts used in TA have long been a useful timing tool, enabling the speculator to isolate the periods of major price moves and identify the key price-influencing factors.
The much-talked-about new technique of DTA gives the market player more confidence in entering or exiting a market when compared to TA. All in all, Dynamic Technical Analysis offers the reader a successful way for using technical analysis.

3.0 out of 5 stars Subject not very well explained, July 30, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Dynamic Technical Analysis (Hardcover)

First of all, I have to mention that this book is not for beginner. It involves a lot of technical terms and techniques that an amateur would not understand. This is probably due to the length of this book because it is so short and full of graphs, it doesn't have enough room to do much explanation and gave examples. Other than that, this is one of the better books that explains rarely discuss TA methods (Bollinger Bands, stochastic, MACD).

I managed to finish reading the book in one day which is fast for such a subject. I was very confused at the beginning 4 chapters because the author used a lot of jargons. It gets better at the later chapters when I got used to some of them and finally understand what they mean. Also, the author mentioned a lot about using some software to produce the charts but he failed to recommend one of them to the readers (actually he did but it's in french). So I have to find one on my own which is not easy but unless you have one that works similar to his, you cannot really apply what you've learned from the book.

Otherwise, the book explained Bollinger Bands, Stochastic, and MACD well. I only wish that the author can give more examples and provide more charts and resources for the readers. It would be best if the book is twice of it original length. I would recommend it if you don't mind the high price tag and have some knowledge of trading.

3.0 out of 5 stars Poor translation..., August 10, 2001

CCL (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Dynamic Technical Analysis (Hardcover)

Dynamic Technical Analysis is written by one of France's most prominent technicians.

The ideas presented within the book aren't bad. In fact, they are interesting and potentially useful. Unfortunately, due to the book's poor translations, simple ideas become very difficult to comprehend. This is not the translator's fault, really. He is obviously not a trader.

The field of Technical Analysis has its own lingo in English, and non-standard terms were used in the book. This causes great confusion, and makes ideas more difficult to comprehend than necessary.

My second complaint is the price of this thin book. It is way too expensive for the material presented!

This review is from: Dynamic Technical Analysis (Hardcover)

I don't like book translations, so i bought this book at Amazon.France, french language. I't a good companion to John Bollinger book.
This work features interesting visual approach, with studies of slopes and shapes of bollinger bands.
