This book takes the novice clearly and calmly through technical analysis. Schwager is one of the most respected names in the business, and he writes beautifully. He also points out the drawbacks of charting, and gives a whole chapter of (real-life) chart exercises for the reader to try. A worthwhile book.

Wanting to learn technical analysis or understand what it is? This book is a good start.
It might not teach you all the tips and tricks to beat the market but rather present you with the right reference/knowledge to get a better understanding of how to interpret/isolate signals from noise. So far I haven't applied TA to my 'real' investment yet but this book has nonetheless presented enough regularly used terms/methods/concepts in TA for readers to build their own trading systems.
For ten pounds, it's an obviously good investment if you ask me.

Format:Paperback
An solid intro to technical analysis. Sits well alongside Barbara Rockerfeller's Technical Analysis For Dummies (For Dummies (Lifestyles Paperback)).
