This book proposes theoretical concepts with easy/idolized sketches to illustrate each concept. Unfortunately, the verification of the presented theory by real market examples shows poor agreement when critically evaluated. To restate, the "proof" of trend behavior seems cherry picked and inconsistent between figures.
Furthermore, the book seems to be full of typos. In chapter 2, the figure numbers in the text do not match the actual figures being described. Upon doing a critical comparison of charts 2.3-2.5 to the presented theory in the chapter, I hardly find justification for the asserted trends proposed from the data. The figures also have no legends or descriptive captions to explain the use of dashed or solid arrows. In chart 3.1 (a rare example of a figure with a legend) the legend is a typo.
I've come to the conclusion that if you leisurely read this book and accept the "trends" without critical evaluation, you will believe you are being given valuable knowledge. If you attempt to study the chapters you will find it's bologna.
As stated above, I'm far from finishing the book. This review will be updated as I continue, if I find it necessary. Though, if this pattern continues, I will likely cut my losses and just throw the book away..
