 It will pay for itself August 16, 2008

At no other time have I ever bought a book that paid for itself. Having utilized the techniques discussed in Technical Analysis for Dummies, I actually earned well over the $20.00 needed to pay for the book. This is a great book for beginners because it discusses MACD and Stochastics, as well as combining criteria in order to create stock screeners. I have also read Mutual Funds for Dummies and Stock Investing for Dummies. This one is the best written and by far the most useful so. I highly recommend this book if you are new to the world of stock investing.
 Does not have examples July 31, 2008

I want to be honest for this book. I'm a daily trader and want to learn more about technical analysis. After I read this book I notice that this book does not have any examples to make it understandable for readers. It just has explanations that make it boring to read. In my opinion find a book that has examples about real situation during trading stocks. YOU CAN NOT LEARN ONLY WITH EXPLENATIN. My suggestion is read other technical analysis books reviews to find out which one have both explanations follow by examples. Good luck
Best Little Guide To Technical Analysis July 18, 2008

This book is a nice synopsis of technical indicators and is written in common understandable English. There are big tomes written on this subject but this is all you will need to get a good grasp of the subject. It is not a recipe book that will tell you how to make a bundle of money in the stock market, but you are unlikely to make a bundle without mastering the analytic techniques discussed in this book. You will develop your own favorite indicators and combination of indicators to help you invest, but without understanding the basics of the technical analysis, you will be lost. And this book is a good source of learning just that.
A good addition to the trader's library.... July 3, 2008

I found this book to be not too heavy, not too light in dealing with technical analysis. I wanted something that would expand upon the various indicators, etc. a bit more than I would find with a wiki search, and the book hits the target. I'm pleased and I think that others who are looking for something that's more than an "entry-level" book will be pleased as well.

I have read more than a dozen books on forex, some good and some bad. I'm afraid this book is somewhere at the bottom. The author kept babbling about self-proclaimed experts in technical analysis all throughout the book it became pathetic. Discussions on most technical indicators was blurry, not the english, but the material simply was not good enough. Very flimsy in many cases and as a result gives you a feeling the author is far from being an authority on the subject. The only reason I gave a generous 2 stars is the discussion on momentum indicators where there was a little bit of substance. Example charts also were poorly selected. After reading the book I felt I really did not pick up anything new.
