Product Description

Review

"the standard of excellence against which everything in technical analysis is measured." -Ralph Acampora, Prudential Securities "Edwards and Magee's definitive work has been restored to mint condition in this 8th editionthe new editor, Charles Bassetti has made invaluable new additions to bring the book current with today's markets and modern finance practiceHe has also rectified the problems of the 6th and 7th editions and removed the anachronisms and obsolescence of the 5th edition. As it was before, it is once again the definitive work on chart analysis." -Mark L. Wainwright, President, Paradigm Trading Systems "This is the one indispensable book on chart analysis. The original, the Bible, unmatched and unimproved until this excellent, updated Editiona must read and a requirement for every trader's library" -Professor Henry Pruden, Ph.D., Golden Gate University, San Francisco, California "There is no better place to begin your education in market behavior than this pioneering book. It has stood the test of time and will continue to apply in the future, because the engine of market patterns and human social psychology never changes." -Robert R. Prechter, Jr., President, Elliott Wave International "The fact that this text is still being reprinted 53 years after its initial publication should tell you all you need to know. It is as relevant to today's markets as ever. The companies may have changed, but the patterns haven't. This edition contains the basics of trading stock indexes, discussions on options, risk, the significance of technology on technical analysis and trading and numerous other additions it remains an essential volume for students and practitioners of chart analysis."-Jack Schwager, Author, Technical Analysis (Schwager on Futures), Stock Market Wizards "#1 all-time classic, considered to be the best book on chart patterns ever written!" -Edward Dobson, Traders Press, Inc. "There are so very few books that have withstood the test of time like this one. It continues to deliver keen insights and guidance to today's investors as it has over the decades." -Chris Myers, Trader's Library --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Edwards and Magee is considered one of the bibles of technical analysis. While it covers the basics well (head and shoulders tops, etc.), the shear number of not so well known patterns can be overwhelming. I would doubt most people could (or would) finish this book. It's more of a reference book. John Murphy's Technical Analysis of the Futures Markets is a much better choice. Murphy covers trendlines, patterns, stochastics, Elliot Wave, money management and a host of other technical topics. Don't be fooled by its title -- it's quite applicable to stocks.

daytrading bible 31 Aug 1999
By A Customer
Format:Hardcover
The simple indicators that TAST presents can easily be applied to intraday movements, indicators powerful enough that, with an understanding of the story behind the stock and the market environment, are all one needs to trade. Yes, it takes awhile to read this book, as any dense textbook or reference work would. It's worth every minute and penny to study this manual.

Thou i consider it a 'reference' book,it is not something to refer to casually : the quantity and quality of pertinent information (in SPECIFIC chapters) is almost overwhelming - thou the authors use plain everyday language,it is so rich in content that it has to be savoured - repeatedly.

Some key sections :

* Chapters 20,21,22 on a stock's 'habit/character/power' - absolute gems of insight.
* Chapters 6,7,8,12 on 'gaps','ascending/descending triangles' and 'head 'n shoulder' patterns.Where standard explanations of these pivotal formations finish,these guys are just warming up !

Favourite chapters (of mine) which i feel are of major benefit to anyone who sets foot in the stockmarket :

* TA philosophy and summary (chapters 1 and 17 respectively),plus the 7th edition preface(included in 8th edition) come to a grand total of around twelve pages - collectively,they sum up the merits of charting with such eloquence that no one could sensibly deny the benefits of PRAGMATIC chart observation.
* Chapter 3's concise version of Dow Theory is excellent,putting its relevance into perspective with added insight that explains the ways of the stock market extremely well.
* Chapter 13's discussion of support and resistance is superb : readers are given the ultimate tutorial,on what is arguably the most essential psycological concept to grasp.This (to me) is the NUCLEUS of the book - to call it outstandingly informative would be putting it much too mildly - if knowledge is power,this chapter is as strong as it gets !

By virtue of having written the book in simpler times,the authors had the (fortuitous) luxury/advantage of feeling no compulsion to curtail and dilute discussion of primary matters purely for the sake of giving space to complex and esoteric add-on tactics.

Consequently,their UNIQUELY THOROUGH explanation of the UNCHANGING laws of supply and demand (as displayed in price 'n volume charts) in my view makes 'Technical Analysis of Stock Trends' the most USEFUL,PRACTICAL and INSTRUCTIVE book in its field - period !
