Technical Analysis For Dummies 4th Edition

This book is easy to read and understand.

Learned a lot. Worth the money

Decent textbook to learn something from.Worth a cup of coffee and an hour of time to learn something new each day.

As a beginner of technical analysis, this one was one the first books I read about it. Content is well and clearly written and covers most of the important topics. The purpose of Dummies book series I guess is not to cover all topics in detail abd for that reason you need to keep reading. Book was really good one as it provided the basics of technical analysis.

For some reason I stopped at about 40% through this book, read a few others and then came back to this. It felt like this book opened my eyes. The other books only touched on technical analysis with maybe a chapter or so, as they are mainly focused on general things (e.g. differences between trading and investing, stocks vs forex, etc.). Coming back to this book, it felt more detailed, easy to understand and implement. That makes me want to revisit the first 40% that I read so long ago. I might have missed some really good stuff back then.As it turns out, I have been making more trades since reading this book, as the charts seem like less of a complete mystery now. They are better trades too, not just random guesses. Most times when I get stopped out of a position, it's not by much, and my call was right more often than not.I think I'll re-read this book at least one more time.Thanks, Barbara Rockefeller.

I’m a Fundamental trader that was looking to get an in-depth dive into Technical Analysis. This book turned out to be a great introduction and foundation for further research. I recommend reading this book when you have time to do extra research. After every chapter I’d spend hours testing what I’ve learned on charting software and falling down google’s rabbit hole getting even more in-depth on what I’ve learned. After reading this book I’ve come to the conclusion every active trader should learn both Fundamental & Technical Analysis. Fundamental Analysis and News may be what makes markets move but Technical Analysis is the study of human behavior, the reaction to what made the markets move. Good luck out there fellow traders :)PS: Not financial advice ;)

Buy it and more. Study it and study YouTube videos on chart patterns, look at your trading platform and write every single acronym and place it on a one page paper for each acronym with its word and meaning and how it should look on the chart. Take 3 months to your learning with this book or two, thank yourself for buying it.

I'm giving it a neutral rating because while it's well written and the author clearly knows her subject, I did not expect a book on "technical analysis" to be almost all narrative. (And yes, I know it's a "For Dummies" book.) Each chapter has a couple/few simple graphics.I would have much preferred an approach of providing a brief narrative introduction to the topic at hand, then providing detailed graphs related to that topic, and then taking a deep-dive into each sub-part of each graph.
