This should be on every techie's bookshelf! Much better than the info in those $195 "get rich quick" mailings, for a lot less. If you are interested in learning technical basics, at a bargain price, this is the place to start. You will find yourself reviewing it over and over.

Murphy starts with a history of the futures markets and leads into charting, patterns, trendlines and on into some of the more common techincal indicators. This book should be the bible for traders who are just getting there feet wet and then used as a reference later. There is no technical jargon that gives the reader the impression that this book is too advanced. Clear and easy to follow historic charts illustrate all of the concepts mentioned. This book should be on every traders bookshelf.

Murphy has taken a very technical analysis of a "dry" subject and turned it into a readable, useful guide that should by read (and referred to often) by everyone who dares trade in the futures markets. It's a great first book on the subject, and a great book for experts alike.
