In this unique reference book he discusses technical analysis systems in depth, with detailed attention to the pros and cons of each.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best technical Analysis book, May 11, 2000

By	WILLIAM KAIBNI (CLEARWATER, FLORIDA United States) - See all my reviews

Recently. I bought books with fancy titles, like "How to profit in bull and bear markets"...etc. they go along and explain 3 or 4 technical indicators in 400 pages and tells you you can start investing now. There isn't a faster way to lose your money. In this book all technical analysis indicators are included, explained and then buy/sell signal conclusions are outlined. Ofcourse written by PHD's. not by mumbo jumbo investors.
