this was the first book that i read on TA. Its a good start to understanding the basic chart patterns in technical analysis. Not very advanced. But its exactly what the title implies. A great intro book to TA.
As an experianced trader, I found this book very interesting and gave me a good overview of what technical analysis is. As the title suggests it is for beginners and gave me a good understanding with numerous examples to get the reader to understand the concept on his own. It would have been helpful Read more...
This book is dense with information and cannot be approached lightly. I read "New Market Wizards" in one week but this book took two months.

It talked about stuff I already knew and learned from other books. Overall this is a decent book for beginners since the facts that Read more...
Good newbie book, I remember enjoying it not exactly one to buy and keep however. Very similar to many other beginner books into technical analysis in it's format, cream of the crop explanations though well articulated. Would recommend to all beginners wanting a entry level knowledge into the field Read more...
This a basic primer on Technical analysis. It goes through different chart patterns that technical traders use. I have a hard time giving this book a strong recommendation because I doubt the effectiveness of many of the chart patterns and even get the sense that Schwager does too. He goes so far Read more...
