This is a decent book on forex and technical analysis. After a very short while, all these books are the same (and they get to be mind deadening). This one was a bit better, because instead of simply walking through every possible pattern and indicator, Schlossberg gives something of a personal opinion on which ones he prefers. He's also better than most on the question of taking profit, and scaling into and out of trades.
At the end of this book, he goes a step further, and actually provides some specifications for some live systems. I'm currently following some people who are coding these, and related systems, into robots. I read the book to get a better understanding of what we are testing. It was a very quick, straightforward read and not a waste of time.

A good practical introduction to technical analysis of the forex market. I find both Boris Schlossberg and his partner Kathy Lien to be very much in line with my style of trading - fundamentally triggered, technically entered trades. I have much to learn from them.
