Excellent reading for a newcomer
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...

Good for Beginners
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.

"A good first book on technical analysis for anyone new to the subject, but not Jack's best work. His best work by far is the market wizards books then Schwager of Futures. Worth a read, but there are better TA books out there."

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...

Decent
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...
