This book is without merit as a source on technical analysis of securities. It is almost impossible to read on the Kindle owing to the many charts and diagram that are separated from the related text.

Very easy to understand, but it lacks depth to use as a real text book for trading. Martin Pring is a much better educator in this field.

I have always favoured fundamentals until my buddy convinced me to try out technical analysis. Pistolese has written a good book and i feel it is great for a novice like me. Short questions and answers at end of each chapter serve to reinforce self-study. After this, i am itching to try out on the Malaysian equity market.

I wrote detailed review explaining why you should not buy this lame book – AMAZON deleted it – now I know how I can trust so called “fair reviews”

I think too many people are taking this book a little too seriously. For a $20, 200+ page book it is definitely not a definitive study of Technical Analysis but it is a good introduction on the basics for the beginner. Technical Analysis for Dummies is also a good intro, but this one gets right to the point and it can finished in one afternoon. For advanced study you can get Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets: A Comprehensive Guide to Trading Methods and Applications (New York Institute of Finance) by J. Murphy for $85.00 ($50+ on amazon), and Technical Analysis of Stock Trends by Edwards and Magee for $100. Both of which I recommend, after reading this one, so you are not reading those “blind”. Should you read this book and keep it as a reference while you trade? No, read it and pass it on to a friend who also wants a basic intro to Technical Analysis. The only bad thing I could say about it is the shoddy, hand drawn charts, and it could have used a little more substance. I would have given it 3 and a half stars, if half stars were an option.
Well, I have some trades to make, thanks for reading.
