3.0 out of 5 stars Decent Study Guide for Fans of the Main Hardcover, May 11, 2006

For those who enjoyed the "Technical Analysis Explained" by Pring, but want to know if they can recall some of the facts, this is a great accompaniment, whether for an examination or just for some fun. (For CMT and CFT Level 1, this book would not help much, as the exam questions do not cover much charting, despite assigning the main text book as core reading). The multiple choice style questions cover nearly all chapters. There are around 10 to 20 questions per chapter, which implies that one can finish the entire quiz book within a day. At $20, it is a bit on the expensive side, hence my low valuation.

Many of the reviewers for the hardback mentioned typos etc. I have the inexpensive International Edition (paperback) and didn't notice anything significant.

Anyhow, I found this book to be one of the best books on TA as it covers all the supporting theories of TA - not just the usual studies on momentum and price indicators.
It covers business-cycle theory & Dow theory, as well as some other wave theories towards the end.

Overall, the book's structure has been planned very well (and this is unusual for most books on TA). It aims to explain the relevance of technical analysis before taking you briefly into each topic. This helps place everything into perspective and avoids the reader from getting 'lost' in all the technicalities.
It can also help you understand the link between Fundamental Analysis and Technical Analysis.

Like all TA books, it won't give you the complete answer to the markets, but combine this with some other more detailed reference books and it will serve it's purpose.

This is not the book, this is a STUDY GUIDE a stupid question and answers....
I was MISLED by the cover because they are almost the same.. and for someone who have not read the book it is hard to know from the small image of the cover you see on the web page....

WTF 25 bucks for a Q/A book ?!! with no content at all...
Don't buy this thing... it is useless.
