This is an extended version of the some parts of the author's book "Technical Analysis Explained", especially the parts on chart patterns. Nothing much added to this subject by thicking those parts of the above book. These parts are better presented (brief and short) in the original source.

I have to say that I am pleased by the information presented in this book, which is organized and presented well. I've read quite a few texts on the subject, by Elder, Tharp, Link, Weinstein, and so on (which are must-reads, by the way), and so this particular text served to complement and enhance the knowledge and skills that I already posessed.

Pring doesn't provide any magic answers here -- and you shouldn't expect any. He simply discusses topics that any aspiring investor/speculator/trader should be intimately familiar with. If you feel you already know everything there is to know about price and volume patterns, trend lines, support/resistance, basic western-style formations, etc..., then this book probably isn't for you. However, if you want to brush up on the subject with a text that presents this information well, then this is not a bad way to go.

I think at one point this was probably the go-to book on the subject. As things stand now, all of these patterns are covered in just as much detail as Pring presents and arguably with better organization online on various free sites.

i am a part-time trader from thailand who won't regret buying this book at all.
Martin Pring is doing extremely well in explaining the basic concepts of price patterns as well as the psychology behind the moves.

A simple review will not due this book justice. If you are serious about trading for a profit in any market, then this book is a must have. Anything on the internet about price action trading is derived from this book. Buy it! You will wish you did it sooner!

Best book I've read in this category. The dvd was a nice bonus with the book. I will be buying more books by Pring.

Book arrived within the specified time and in the "as advertised" condition. Very satisfied with this supplier.
