The book contains hundreds of illustrations to clarify key points.

From the Author
A standard work in the field
Technical Analysis Explained is now in its third edition and seventh language. Since the first edition came out in 1980, I'm told it's grown to be one of the standard works in the field. Forbes Magazine described it as "Widely regarded as the standard work for this generation of chartists." It's used as one of the two recommended textbooks for the Market Technician's Association (MTA) Certified Market Technician course, as well as being recommended by other technical societies around the world. The University of Richmond and Golden Gate University have used Technical Analysis Explained as a course textbook and listed it on their recommended reading list for finance students.

This comprehensive 520-page book is suitable for beginner and intermediate technicians alike. The contents are as follows:

Part I Trend Determining Techniques 1. Market Cycle Model 2. Financial Markets and the Business Cycle 3. Dow theory 4. Parameters for Intermediate-Term Trends 5. Price patterns 6. Flags, Pennants,Wedges and Gaps 7. Trendlines 8. Moving Averages 9. Momentum I 10. Momentum II 11. Point and Figure Charting 12. Miscellaneous Techniques 13. Putting the Techniques Together

Part II Market Structure 1. Price: The major Averages 2. Price: Group rotation 3. Time :Longer-Term Cycles 4. Time: Cycle Identification 5. Volume 6. Breadth
