Chart Reading for Professional Traders

Summary: Geometric Trading Techniques
Review: Probably for Gann students only, this is not an easy book to read if your main interests on trading relate to stuff like RSI or ADX.

Mr. Jenkins follows a very simple line of thought showing you market timing techniques to forecast the market. Some of them will demand a lot of work to really discover, others are relatively simple. It's an economic book about market geometry, for traders who are already into the concept of the Natural Law, but that will show delightful insights on... stuff that works!

You'll probably need some special software to draw some of the charts, like Ganntrader, unless you do your own charting the old way: manual updates. Wether you do position tradind or daytrading you'll be emerged in a world of trading tips that one way or the other, sooner or later, you'll need to implement.

It improved my trading, so, I must recommend it.

Summary: Some thought-provoking ideas but not enough practical detail
Review: This book from Mr.Jenkins contains some interesting ideas mainly suited with WD Gann students.
Some parts of the book are truly interesting, but you will very often feel frustrated since the author does not go into details, mainly since "he can't share his discoveries".
According to the author, the reader should start from the clues he leaves here and there in the book to develop his own analyses. Though if this position about the need of self study is fully acceptable, at least in my experience, the clues left were not enough to develop through my study specific trading strategies and techniques.
