Product Description
Now, there's a comprehensive, objective, and reliable tutorial and reference for the entire field of technical analysis. For traders, researchers, and serious investors alike, this is the definitive book on technical analysis. Individual investors and professional investment managers are increasingly recognizing the value of technical analysis in identifying trading opportunities. Moreover, the SECs requirement for analysts and brokers to pass Section 86 exams can now be fulfilled with the Chartered Market Technician (CMT) certification. Author Charles D. Kirkpatrick II has spent decades using technical analysis to advise major investing institutions -- and he currently teaches the subject to MBA candidates, giving him unique insight into the best ways of explaining its complex concepts. Together with university finance instructor and CMT Dr. Julie Dahlquist, Kirkpatrick systematically explains the theory of technical analysis, presenting academic evidence both for and against it. Using 200+ illustrations, the authors explain the analysis of markets and individual issues, and present a complete investment system and portfolio management plan. Readers will learn how to use tested sentiment, momentum indicators, seasonal affects, flow of funds, and many other techniques. The authors reveal which chart patterns and indicators have been reliable; show how to test systems; and demonstrate how technical analysis can be used to mitigate risk.

Superb, comprehensive reference! November 9, 2008
Richard Thomason (South Africa)
I have not read the more well known Technical Analysis books from John Murphy or Martin Pring but this one caught my eye. I leafed through it a few times before buying it. It is written like a textbook for students and gives an objective view on all topics of trading. There is a huge bibliography at the back that is referred to throughout the chapters. There are also numerous websites referred to in the text so I would recommend reading the book with a pencil and paper.
Overall the authors have done a sterling job and every trader and investor should have a copy on his/her bookshelf as a reference.
Simply the best textbook on the subject September 28, 2008

Previous reviewers have summarized the bios of the authors and the form of this book, so there is no need for me to reinvent the horse or belabor the wheel. Simply put this is the finest textbook on the subject. I am overcome by envy and admiration at the achievement represented here. Students and readers tend to look at a book and assess its worth. Authors of long books tend to look at a book, assess its quality and sigh over the amount of work which went into it. A colossal amount of work. A colossal contribution to the field.

Logical reasoning and evidence-based methods described August 25, 2008

This is the most robust reference book about the technical analysis (TA) I have ever read. If you read it, you'll acquire the big picture of what TA is all about. Nothing is left over, except for the voo doo methods, like Gann analysis. The authors are reasoning in a logical way, and refer to external research results as much as possible, rather than just their own experience. The authors are not high about any method, like most of the other authors on the topic. They describe the bright and dark sides of every TA tool. A balanced and objective judgement makes you trust the authors. If you start in TA, it's the best book to get started - you'll get a realistic view of what TA is all about, without any bias towards any of the methods (well, maybe except for the long term chart patterns and Bollinger Bands?). If you're advanced, you'll get all your knowledge properly sorted and tested.
