The definitive guide to technical analysis . . . written from a trader′s perspective

With the keen insight and perspective that have made him a market legend, Jack D. Schwager explores, explains, and examines the application of technical analysis in futures trading.

"Jack Schwager has accomplished the rarest of feats in this book. He has presented material in a way that both the professional and layman can profit from. It is a must read for traders on all levels." – Stanley Druckenmillern Managing Director, Soros Fund Management

"Jack Schwager′s Technical Analysis is exactly what one should expect from this expert on futures. The book is comprehensive, thoroughly insightful, and highly educational. I recommend it to the beginner as well as the expert." – Leo Melamed Chairman, Sakura Dellsher, Inc.

"Jack Schwager possesses a remarkable ability to extract the important elements of complex, market–timing approaches, and distill that into something intelligible and useful. Not only is he able to present these ideas cleverly in an easily understood format, but he also demonstrates their application to the markets with clarity and precision." – Thomas R. DeMark Author, The New Science of Technical Analysis

"Jack Schwager′s book, A Complete Guide to the Futures Markets, was one of the best books I have read on futures trading. We give a copy of it to all our new analysts. Jack′s latest work, Technical Analysis, looks like a gold mine of information, adding significantly to the existing investment literature." – Monroe Trout President, Trout Trading Management Co.

Format:Hardcover
This book covers all the basic topics for techical analysis for futures including oscillators, basic terminology, trend analysis, Japanese candlesticks, etc. The best part of the book is a large section that has real world trading examples: a graph showing a market, Schwager's trendlines on the graph, and reasons to enter the trade. You decide if you agree and then turn the page to see if you made or lost money. This is very useful way to see if you paid attention to the explanatory parts of the book. Overall it is easy to read and well worth it if you are interested in trading futures.

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.
