Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets by John Murphy
Category: Technical Analysis
In the late 1980s John J. Murphy's massive Technical Analysis of the Futures Markets created an uproar when it burst upon the scene. The most comprehensive, yet easy-to-follow guide to the concepts of technical analysis and their applications to the futures markets, it swiftly became a classic - cited in research studies by the Federal Reserve and used as a primary source in the Market Technicians Association testing program. Today, it is widely considered the bible in its field. In response to its widespread demand, Murphy has completely updated and revised this landmark volume, broadened .....
Marber on Markets by Brian Marber
Category: Technical Analysis
This is not your average book on technical analysis. Why? Because the author is not your average technical analyst; Brian Marber is unique âÂÂand so, as a result, is this book. Here, Marber sets out to write about his approach, in a language readers can understand and enjoy, telling them why he does what he does, and how he came to do it, including details of market pitfalls and the occasional Marber pratfall. The book does not claim to be comprehensive, but instead aims to be honest and to present the reader with the techniques and indicators that Marber himself uses, and has used succ.....
A Beginner's Guide to Charting Financial Markets by Michael Kahn
Category: Technical Analysis
This book is about arming you with one simple tool that will enhance your investment decision-making process - the chart. It is not the Holy Grail and even if applied exactly as offered there is no guarantee that you will be successful. But owning a high quality hammer is no guarantee that the user will build a beautiful house. The hammer is a tool and in most cases the user will still need other tools - and knowledge - to build that house. Despite its enormous and still growing popularity, technical market analysis still gets a bad rap. Purveyors of this art have been called tealeaf reader.....
Japanese Candlestick Charting Techniques by Steve Nison
Category: Technical Analysis
Traditional Western methods for chart analysis (the basis of all technical analyses) use bar or points and figure charts. Yet over 100 years before these methods originated, the Japanese were using their own style of technical analysis for use in the rice futures market. This technique - known as the Japanese Candlestick Charting Techniques because of its close resemblance to candlesticks - has recently been attracting attention because it provides unique insights into the market. This work features over 300 charts that use candlesticks alone and in conjunction with Western charting techniques.....

7 Chart Patterns that Consistently Make Money by Ed Downs
Category: Technical Analysis
It's a fact: The most successful traders use technical analysis and chart patterns almost exclusively. Why? Because chart patterns work.

OmniTrader founder Ed Downs now reveals the 7 best choices in his concise, powerful new booklet.

Now, for the first time in English, this book presents the next stage of candlestick analysis - Ichimoku Kinko Hyo.

Marc Rivalland on Swing Trading by Marc Rivalland
Category: Technical Analysis
The proactive approach to the stock market - don't be a victim - there is something you can do about it. Swing trading is an approach to the stock market which is concerned less with value (a moveable feast as many have found out), and more with exploiting short-term upswings and downswings in share prices and market indices. Although the ranks of swing traders swell daily, not many traders know that there is a type of chart, a swing chart, which is designed specifically for swing trading. In this ground-breaking book, Marc Rivalland, author of 'The Trader' column in Investors Chronicle,.....
