Rating:  Summary: CareerDayTrader.com - Excellent book on Technical Analysis Review: A companion to his fundamental analysis book. The author of this book has admitted that he was not that sure that very short term patterns could be exploited in the market by off floor traders until he met particular market wizards. An excellent book for background understandings of Technical analysis. We read this book a few years ago and it left the readers believing they should trade flag patterns and measured moves.
Rating:  Summary: One of the best books on Technical Analysis Review: Do you believe in charts or wanna learn a lot about it...??? That's one of the best books. Schwager's illustration of the charts before and after is unmatched

Rating:  Summary: There is a Cheaper Version of This Book Review: I first read his book in paperback "Getting Started in Tech Analysis." Both books cover the same info, except the above reviewed book has more details on trading systems and has a lot more graphs and examples, which I felt I did not need. I would recommend the less costly paperback version - it is EXCELLENT!

Rating:  Summary: This book hurt my head! Review: I read this book ... I was thoroughly impressed.I had read Schwager Market Wizards books after I had read this Technical books on trading. And although I liked it, I found many of the charts and graphs quite tedious. On the other hand was thoroughly impressed at level of information that was being presented. This book is a permanent part of my collection solely because it reads more like a college text book than a commercial investment book. He really delves deep and makes you think about what futures really are and what it takes to decipher their movements. I am looking forward to his comments on single stock futures.
Rating:  Summary: One of the best Technical Analysis books Review: I thought Schwager did an excellent job with this book. I have read a ton of books on technical analysis and can say that this is definitely one of the best ones out there. I really liked the book, the real world chart analysis was excellent as was the section on trading systems. I recommend this book without hesitation whenever someone asks about a good technical analysis book. It is probably the best book on technical analysis I have read it does an excellent job showing how a trader actually uses and interprets charts and indicators. It ranks in the top 10 books on trading that I have and it has paid for itself many times over.

Rating:  Summary: A Complete Guide to Technical Analysis Review: Now don't get me wrong by the title, there are more methods of Technical Analysis than Schwager covers in this book...However, his many years of actually trading against analytical methods has given him great insight and time to study, characterize and rate the value of many of the most common analytical methods. He is quick to point out in several places in the book that these are "Western" analytical methods, practiced in the Euro-American world of futures trading. The beginning of the book is a laborious and elementary but complete description of basic technical techniques. The later chapters talk about building trading systems using combinations of the techniques discussed in the beginning. There is a fair amount of history lesson given as to how the methods were 'discovered' or derived. In general, although ponderous to get through, I think that this detailed analysis allows the reader to believe in the method, the author, and the application of the method. I highly recommend this book as the single basic reference that a technical trader cannot ignore.
Rating:  Summary: Great Trading Book Review: Schwager's book is great - it covers technical analysis, price risk management and even a bit on system development.
