Great reference for traders

I have been trading for over two decades. I highly recommend this book for traders of all levels. I lost a lot of money because of ignorance of the principles and strategies taught in this book. This book will guide you to become successful at trading. My favorite quote is, "successful traders using technical analysis trade with a bias toward the long-term trend. It has had a long time to establish itself, and it will take a large surge of momentum to change its direction." There is a world of difference when you follow technical knowledge and tools as taught in this great book. I highly recommend it.

My first book on trading and I’m glad I started with an overview like this. I’m sure it’s not the only book on TA I will need if I continue towards trading but it’s certainly a very good précis and valuable reference book.

It’s written in a simple conversational way with examples (often un relatable about “famous” traders who made millions) which mention the techniques he describes but often I found them interesting but distracting and only half the story … and often I couldn’t see how they fitted in. Specifically

The descriptions of most of the analysis tools were clear although some of the pictures weren’t as he says “see below” when it’s on the next page or he swings the other way and is super descriptive about something to the point of being obvious. Then soddenly he’ll go into highly technical language and abbreviations and I’m not sure I learned them yet. That’s my memory though.

So varied educational style.

He is repetitive which I usually find really annoying and a naive way of writing but in this book I actually appreciated it as he was reinforcing the risks of trading and how you should trade within your means (then talking about trades of millions of dollars) and Stick to your strategy, and without diligence you could lose money.

However, with all the book read it’s funny to me that it often says about analysis “the market can go up or down” - well yes, they are the two options and with all the analysis it is more or less guesswork. Yes analysis can make your guess more LIKELY but it makes me laugh when people talk about trading so confidently about their lines and resistance and fibbonacvi etc and then say, “so here it could go up or down, I think it will go up, but it could go down.”

That’s the issue isn’t it ?

The hardest part for me is finding a platform that isn’t super expensive, doesn’t have spreads wide enough to drive a car through, commission for every trade (in and out) messy unhelpful layout in % rather than £/$ amounts OR it doesn’t have trailing stops!!

A section of choosing good platforms would have been useful. Overall I though the book helpful and I learned a lot. Thankfully it’s laid out in dip-in-and-out-able sections which makes it better for a newbie and not great at retaining information type of person as I know I’ll need repeated explanation.

I appreciate the chatty style of writing, although the simplicity wasn’t consistent for new-to-trading readers.

Easy read, with confusing information particularly on the wedges

Charts are presented clearly. I like key takeaways.

Some pages have different fonts/formats which is a bit distracting.

Also on the falling and rising wedge patterns, the charts are correct, but the written information tells us otherwise. Does the falling wedge signal bearish trend and rising wedge signal a bullish trend like what the book said?

disappointing

Lots of mistakes. Difficult to trust when mistakes are so obvious (ex. Risk reward ratio example calculation). Much is worded but not demonstrated- author stopped using images after a while. Says too much like an encyclopedia but without insight. Pretty disappointed. Definitely not the only ta book.

Great book if you want to start trading

Very well written with good examples. All concepts are explained in a very simple manner. If you are getting into trading this is a good book to start with. It is not the end all and be all for trading but the first step in your learning journey

Excellent Read!

Brian covers the essential parts of technical analysis that is needed to trade in any market. You could read the book again or keep it close by as a reference guide.

Using technical analysis along with fundamental and market analysis is the keys to success, as stated in the book.

not the only but one of the best

Informative and Instructive

The guidelines discussed are invaluable. Although much of the analysis can be confusing, the basis of the lessons in each chapter are useful.
