The definitive guide to technical analysis . . . written from a trader's perspective

With the keen insight and perspective that have made him a market legend, Jack D. Schwager explores, explains, and examines the application of technical analysis in futures trading. In the most in-depth, comprehensive book available, the bestselling investment writer demonstrates why he is one of today's foremost authorities. Here is the one volume no trader should be without.

"Jack Schwager has accomplished the rarest of feats in this book. He has presented material in a way that both the professional and layman can profit from. It is a must read for traders on all levels." - Stanley Druckenmillern Managing Director, Soros Fund Management

"Jack Schwager's Technical Analysis is exactly what one should expect from this expert on futures. The book is comprehensive, thoroughly insightful, and highly educational. I recommend it to the beginner as well as the expert." - Leo Melamed Chairman, Sakura Dellsher, Inc.

"Jack Schwager possesses a remarkable ability to extract the important elements of complex, market-timing approaches, and distill that into something intelligible and useful. Not only is he able to present these ideas cleverly in an easily understood format, but he also demonstrates their application to the markets with clarity and precision." - Thomas R. DeMark Author, The New Science of Technical Analysis

"Jack Schwager's book, A Complete Guide to the Futures Markets, was one of the best books I have read on futures trading. We give a copy of it to all our new analysts. Jack's latest work, Technical Analysis, looks like a gold mine of information, adding significantly to the existing investment literature." - Monroe Trout President, Trout Trading Management Co.

Jack Schwager is one of the most important and visible figures in the futures industry today. His Market Wizards and The New Market Wizards are two of the bestselling finance titles of all time. Now, in the latest volume in the Schwager on Futures series, Technical Analysis, Schwager has created the most comprehensive guide ever for using technical analysis for futures trading. What makes Technical Analysis unique, besides its in-depth coverage, is that it is written from a trader's perspective. Schwager doesn't merely cover the subject, he explores what works and doesn't work in the real world of trading.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

The latest book in the Schwager on Futures series, written in the highly-informative yet non-technical style for which the bestselling author is famous. Contains the most complete and in-depth presentation of technical analysis available. Features a synthesis of market analysis along with practical trading considerations.

From the Back Cover

In Schwager on Futures: Technical Analysis, legendary market analyst Jack D. Schwager examines technical analysis in-depth, exploring what works and doesn't work in the real world of trading. Now, in the Study Guide to Accompany Technical Analysis, Thomas Bierovic, a highly renowned instructor, joined by Steven Turner and Jack Schwager, offers a class in the technical material presented in Technical Analysis.

The Study Guide is clearly organized parallel with Technical Analysis. Chapter by chapter, it provides questions and problems that help you practice applying the principles in the book, plus brief chapter summaries to reinforce major points. Answers are in the back, so you can check your work.

What better way to test your knowledge than by running through a series of questions and problems? Trading system development is enhanced once you are certain you understand the underlying indicators. Working through the Study Guide lets you test your aptitude before using the indicators to trade real-time. With the Study Guide, Technical Analysis will be an even more valuable trading companion and reference.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fun way to understand futures better, February 17, 2009
This review is from: Technical Analysis, Study Guide (Schwager on Futures) (Paperback)
if you are serious about learning and understanding futures, read Schwager on Futures Tech and fundamental analysis. if you want to understand it better and remember what you learnt get the 2 study guides..

simply put they are just questions on the material in the book, but it gives you the advantage of actually questioning what you have learnt. its a great start for people just learning about the cause and effects of futures markets with practical and useful questions from each chapter of the main book which help the reader gain a better understanding of concepts.

great for novices, and anyone looking to better their understanding.

happy trading!!

5.0 out of 5 stars This book will make a Trader, June 15, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Technical Analysis, Study Guide (Schwager on Futures) (Paperback)
By far the best book I have ever read on technical analysis. He covers a little of everything in here. It is defiantly a book that I will be re-reading and keeping close to my desk to refer back to. Only down side is some of the text talks about multiple charts, and it can become somewhat disorganized when looking at the charts. Although, the charts are very helpful and give key insight on what he is explaining. A mandatory buy for anyone serious about trading!

I bought this book and afterwards realised it was only a study guide. Guess it probably fills it's purpose, but not mine
