A good book for the beginner

I don't pay much attention to Bulkowski's statistical analysis but his examples in patterns are a must for anyone new to reading charts. I became very familiar with all these patterns very quickly once I started trading and was profitable from it. It should be in everyone's library.

Low quality book for its price

Low quality book for its price. Not well written or organized, will not help you too much. Lots of misleading ideas and unsupported assertions. I had actually returned this book because it was so useless to me and I usually never waste my time doing that.
