Summary: Good overview of indicators, but only a few explanations
Review: This book is really great if you are looking for a glossary or a dictionary of the various technical analysis indicators. However, if you are looking for a book to learn more about those indicators (underlying logic, mathematical explanations, optimization, indicators combinations ...) you may be disappointed.

Summary: Technical Analysis From A to Z
Review: This book leaves out too many important details to be of much use for anyone really interested in technical analysis. The bottom line is that it is a waste to time to read and a waste of money.

Summary: Perfect as a beginner's guide as well as a desktop reference
Review: This book serves well as a one-shot reference to the vast array of technical indicators, and perhaps this is the only single book that can claim to have achieved this. The mathematical level is kept simple and accessible to all, even though I would have preferred to see more formulas of the complicated indicators that got skipped (like Swing Index). Surprisingly, the formula for the highly popular Relative Strength Index is not amplified on. Nevertheless, this is *the* starting book for the beginner as well as a means of introduction into more complex indices. The book introduces the reader to all fundamental market concepts and "forces" with amazing simplicity and lucidity without sacrificing accuracy.

Summary: Great reference to the numerous technical indicators
Review: This book was a great reference of the numerous technical indicators in use today. It gives brief examples of how use these various indicators. This book was not meant to give a comprehensive explanation of the "why's" of technical analysis. It already assumes that the reader already has an understanding of technical analysis. Readers who are just starting out in technical analysis should read books like "Technical Analysis Explained" by Martin Pring, or "Technical Analysis of the financial markets" by John Murphy. Both of these are textbook-style so give yourself at least a month to absorb all the material. Overall, Tech from AtoZ is a great reference tool.

Summary: Excellent reference for TA tools
Review: This book will give you the basics of almost all popular TA tools around. It's strength is that it will allow you to understand how the different TA tools work. One mistake many street traders make is to use several TA indicators that build on a formula including the same basic numbers. Without being able to "look inside" the workings of the different TA tools it is not possible to safely combine several TA tools to get a better TA picture of the market dynamics (if you believe in TA at all). As a reference I have not seen any better. However, what I would like to see was someone try to systematically group together TA tools that "fit" to each others.

Summary: There once was a man
Review: This is a good book to start with. It covers a lot of different indcitors. If you don't know much about Technical analyis then this book will be a big help to you. It goes through and explanes what each indicator does and gives a little history about the indicator. Buy this book, you won't be sorry.Big truck

Summary: Great
Review: This is a good quick reference to many tech. indicators. It is possibily THE book that covers the most indicators. However, it does not have in-depth coverage to most of the indicators in the book. It only discusses one or at best a couple of the ways to use a particular indicator. I'd rather see thorough discussions of fewer indicators that are most popular. To that end, many online sources are better than this book. / I must give the book credit for a very well-written and concise introduction to technical analysis--as part I in the book. It is pretty innovative to use "trader's remorse" to explain the psychological aspects of stock movement and the reason why technical analysis has merits. Lastly, you don't really need to buy the book if you have online access. It is available online with its entirety and more--the spreadsheet formulas etc.--for free, but of course you would rarely need to understand or even take a look at the formulas behind those indicators unless you're writing software using those indicators. Do a little search on the web and you'll see what I mean.

Summary: Excellent Book but could be better
Review: This is an excellent introductory book which is organized like a dictionary for technical indicators. This book still leaves out few things the ways it is organized. It could have been split into two sections 1. Stock Indicators 2. Market Indicators. It also leaves out some of the calculation details and some calculations are ambiguous. Overall, it is good reference book on technical indicators. I will recommend to anyone who is interested in technical analysis and would like to have quick-reference book.

Summary: good reference, not much more
Review: This makes a great reference if you want to know what x indicator is, and how it is typically interpreted. The book is often good on giving you general information on how it's calculated, but not always. I'd certainly recommend it as a reference, but don't expect to get a lot of useful actionable items from the book, it's just a reference.
