Not a bad read for aspiring chartists. The book touches on the fundamentals of candlesticks, gap and options. Come with examples and detailed explanations. A good starting point before moving to more advanced stuff.

After liking Thomsett's book on Options, I decided to pick up this book on swing trading. I was looking for a short term strategy to start out and keep active daily with trading.
The book is a good basic reference but does not delve too deep into the topic. I would recommend it still if you are interested in swing trading, and there are fewer books devoted to this topic specifically, but it will probably not be the last resource you need to get into action.
It is well written, but I didn't find it is organized or detailed as his book on getting started in options. I wasn't really looking at this as a reference in the future. It is a small quick read however.
