Technical Analysis of Stock Trends, 8th Edition (Hardcover)

I read Edwards and McGee, Technical Analysis of Stock Market Trends with great enthusiasm. Here was a book that was originally written in the 1940's that is equally valid to anyone trying to play the stock market in the Twenty First Century. It also gave me insights into the wild times on Wall Street in the Roaring 20's, and taught me how the pros did stock manipulation and organized "bear traps." Understanding Wall Street irrational exuberance in 1928 helps a smart investor understand the irrational exuberance in 1999. I started reading and then using Technical Analysis because I found I couldn't make money on the market just using the fundamental analysis that my accounting professors taught me in business school. I bought stocks based on detailed analysis of the firm's fundamentals and then could not understand why the prices of my "smart" investments immediately dropped like a rock. Technical analysis provides an investor with insights into the market forces (supply and demand) that affect the rise and fall of stock prices and give a rational investor understanding of the psychology of the herd of investors.
Modern web technology available from Clearstation and E-trade take the drudgery out of the technical charting, and make it easy for an amateur investor to become an experienced technical chart reader. Edwards and McGee was the book that helped me develop this skill. I can not praise the authors of this book enough.

Trading for a Living: Psychology, Trading Tactics, Money Management (Hardcover)

Soviet-born author and practicing psychiatrist Elder (director, Financial Trading Seminars, Inc.) shares his learning over the years as a professional trader and expert in technical analysis and his principle of understanding the three Ms (Mind, Method, Money), which will strengthen the discipline required to be successful in trading. He explores crucial factors in the markets that most experts overlook, including time, volume, and open interest, and describes little-known indicators to track them profitably. In addition, he covers many of the more technical approaches to investing in futures, such as factoring in the meaning from the Elliott Wave, oscillators, moving averages, Market Logic, and point-and-figure charting. His unique viewpoints in this overly saturated genre explain his particular view that most traders sabotage themselves, while offering tips for others to avoid doing the same. The narration by Richard Davidson soundly guides the listener through this highly specialized work that, although first published seven years ago, remains recommended for university libraries supporting a finance and business curriculum.DDale Farris, Groves, TX Copyright 2001 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.

Bruce Kamich has written one of the best books on technical analysis that I've seen in a long time. Unlike most introductory books, it neither over simplifies, nor does it make it seem as if you need a PhD to learn how to use technical analysis. The book explains how and why technical patterns and indicators work in an entertaining way. On top of that, the examples of patterns in the book are not "text book". You actually get to see what these things might look like in the real world instead of the perfect picture you see in most books. This is invaluable. On top of that, the book is a bargain!

Magic of Moving Averages (Paperback)

Scot Lowry spent years of researching and testing various methods and systems for futures trading. The moving average system, which is described in detail in this new book, is an eminently practical and logical approach to successful trading. It is the result of Lowry's painstaking research, easily understood and fully explicit. It is geared toward the novice as well as the professional trader.

The reason for writing this book is twofold: first, after years of studying charts, he was able to identify an occurrence in market trading that can almost ensure high returns with minimal risk. This approach to trading is very clear and easy to understand. It leads to the second reason for writing this book. For a long time, he felt this system was too simple to warrant a book, but over time, he became increasingly convinced that the system you are about to learn has been overlooked by the vast majority of people. Why haven't more people seen this? More often than not, people do not see the forest for the trees. In other words, the trading plan you are about to see is so simple that it defies logic. It is not complicated, it is not time consuming and it has no difficult formulas to try and understand. It is an easy, layman's approach to profitable trading in the futures markets.

Profits in Volume by Richard Arms

NOW, for the first time in years…The landmark book on Equivolume Charting that described the methodology and its application for the first time---is available again. Presented in its original form, this is the classic that tied volume and price together, allowing investors to analyze not only the way in which a stock is moving, but the underlying pressures involved in that movement. And uniting volume and price into a single entry provides the investor with a unique view, unrealized in a traditional bar chart.

This innovative technique was the outgrowth of Dick Arms' development of the widely known Arms Index, often referred to as the short term trading index (TRIN). The Arms Index work led him to the realization of the importance of volume as an analysis tool. And this index is so important to investors that it is recapped daily in the Wall Street Journal, and weekly in Barron's. It is also recalculated and displayed every minute on CNBC ticker tape.

Whether you're just learning about Equivolume Charting, hoping to get a more indepth look into Arm's famous technical tools, or searching for ways to profit from the driving forces of the market---Profits in Volume is a must have book.

Point & Figure Charting: The Complete Guide by Carroll D. Aby, Jr.

Point & Figure Charting: The Complete Guide is the most thorough text on Point and Figure charting, and is our preferred book on the subject. Comprehensive coverage of all aspects of P&F is provided. (302 pgs)

As we enter the last decade of the 20th century, indecision and turbulence prevail in the financial markets. Meanwhile, attempts to identify major price swings in the stock market dominate investment strategies. Perhaps more that ever before, people seem unable or unwilling to venture into investment decisions. Growing numbers of individuals depend on others for acceptable investment returns. To accommodate increasing expectations for better investment performance, timing strategies in the equity markets must play a larger role.

This material represents a compendium of technical investment analysis for entrepreneurial investors. The book includes a unique blend of pragmatic investment management concepts and real-world applications. The approaches developed herein appeal to individual investors and mathematical emphases are excluded for the sake of pragmatism. Broad-based treatment of investment management principles in diverse settings functions as a surrogate to mathematical and theoretical overkill.

Although sequential reading represents the more conventional approach, the continuity and flow of the book, readers will find that individual sections can still offer their autonomy and ability to stand-alone.

A New Look at Technical Analysis by Bob McCullough

Many new and unique ideas about technical analysis, market models, graphic tools, technical indicators, and trading methods are explored in great depth in this outstanding book. Consists of articles and studies originally written for owners of the author's Investograph Plus Software. Will give the computerized trader a deeper understanding of markets and how to analyze them more effectively than ever before.

There's big money to be made by learning how to time market trades. Timing markets means learning how to use charting and technical analysis tools. There are a number of good reference books that tell you how to calculate technical analysis indicators and how to make the necessary graphical constructions needed for analysis of charts. However, most of these books cover the same olf familar tools. Also, because so mamy tools are described in each of the well known reference books, treatment of how to use them can only be superficial. This book describes some new, powerful, and unique tools. It also probes into how to use the traditional tools with a depth not found in any other book.
