Very informative and covers the fundamentals, don’t rush through the book slowly read and understand

19 May 2020

Verified Purchase

Very informative and basic book that covers the fundamentals with adequate explanation with real-life diagrams and application of the tools on the charts. Would give 5 stars but the book came with a bit of defects such as pages stuck together and the binding of the book isn’t that smooth so I had to do some minor adjustments to hold the book together. Overall a very informative book.

Murphy > All Others

Book came beautiful. I originally ordered technical analysis of stock trends by Edwards and magee because it was on the cheaper side (and some books I have read mentioned this book. Even murphy's book mentions it.) However, for beginners I think murphy's book is way better because the edition i recieved in Edwards book has very hard to see charts. The writting style is very old too and hard to follow. I didn't think that it would be a problem, but it ended up making me not want to read it to the end, which I didn't at first. Murphy's book is well written and explains things in an easy to understand manner. There will be no flipping pages being fustrated trying to interpret the words. I can see why this is considered the "Bible" of technical analysis. It is definitely the best book on the subject. I have also ordered technical analysis by Kirkpatrick. I still have yet to read it, but after skimming through it i think it's over rated for beginners. There were some reviews that mentioned this book, and the reason I looked Into it. It's looks like a very interesting book, and I like the writing style, however I don't think it should be the first book for traders. Murphy's book is the go to book. Every other book should be secondary in my opinion.

A dense but useful tome on Technical Analysis for new investors.

16 March 2019 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

I purchased this because I felt my insights into technical analysis were still limited after reading a host of other finance and trading books. Now that I've finished reading this, I feel confident that I understand the subject and can, for the most part, explain it to others.

Have no misconceptions - this is a thick book that deals with a lot of arguably dry subjects like retracement percentages, oscillation ranges, and specific price movements; you will find parts of it hard to get through, but I urge you to persevere! (I found it very manageable to read two full chapters a night after work (around 50 pages total), and I finished the book in about ten days.)

I found almost all of the information useful, and ended up taking almost twenty pages of notes. (Compared to the typical 3-5 pages that I usually do on other trading books.) The section on Japanese candlesticks in particular was quite useful.

I absolutely recommend this book to anyone looking to develop an understanding of technical analysis, or to someone who has one but wants to improve it.

Best Technical Analysis book I've ever read. Should be required reading for all rookie brokers.

6 January 2018 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

Excellent. One of the best Technical Analysis books I've ever read. I started my career as a financial advisor by following the work of Alan Shaw and Louise Yamada. This book is almost like having Shaw and Yamada's notes on your bookshelf. This should be required reading for all Wirehouse trainees. Great as refresher course for the seasoned professional. Might be a little too egg headish for DYI investors.

Great Book on Technical Analysis

20 July 2020 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

This book covers a significant amount of vital areas of stock market technical analysis. The author has presented a wide range of topics such as dow theory, chart patterns, candle patterns, moving averages and various indicators, Elliot wave and cycle theory, relative strength, market breadth, and inter-market linkage. The author even managed to present the basic ideas of the trading system.

Reading his book is similar to taking a university course in that the professor sketches an outline and briefly highlights the main points. Afterward, it is the students who will read the rest of the references. This book is just like that! If you only read this book and feel like you can identify the chart patterns or recognize Elliot waves, please think again! Many people nowadays use this book as the bible for technical analysis rather than studying the excellent references recommended by the author. Once they fail to identify the chart patterns or notice the noisy indicator signals, they claim that technical analysis is bullshit as some of the books here on the Amazon.

IMHO, this book mainly provides a breadth rather than depth. John's book is a top-level highlight of the coming attractions. However, the author offers a comprehensive list of the reference materials from specific domain masters. Without studying the details from the domain masters, you are unlikely to succeed in the technical analysis.

In addition to this book, I have also bought John's - The Visual Investor, as the book uses many new charting tools that seem to be a compliment and upgrade from this original 1999 version. In summary, both books are excellent that cover the enormous landscape of technical analysis. I highly recommend them.

Comprehensive but not convincing

1 February 2018 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

The book goes very deep in many theories and seems to introduce most concepts. I am however not convinced about the merits. It seems to explain a lot after the fact, but there are arguments for more or less any development in the future, no matter where we stand today.
I'm missing more data to back up the validity of the claims. If these patterns are more right than wrong, it should be simple to pull some statistics on this.
