Book Reviews of Technical Analysis For Dummies
Book Review: Best financial book I have read!
Summary: 5 Stars
MINUSES:
1. First 2-3 chapters are useless.
2. Weak chapter about Japanese Candlesticks.
3. Useless 15. chapter about Point-Figure Charting.
4. Sometimes- chaotic writing style.
PLUSES:
1. Simple English with excellent grammar.
Therefore you can quickly read the whole book! Pleasure to read!
2. Many valuable indicators.
3. Many trading setups.
4. This book converts you from dummy to almost pro immediately after reading.
Yes, some chapters are really useless, but the rest chapters are exhaustive and fully compensate bad ones. Therefore I can tell- this is the best financial book, what I have read!
So- I highly recommend this book to all technical analysis dummies!
Book Review: Seems like an excellent starting point
Summary: 5 Stars
I've learned one thing after reading the first six chapters of this book: I need to stop trying to trade until I understand what I'm doing. I really didn't know what I was doing. Now that I know that, I'm going to finish reading this book, and I've already ordered another book listed in the appendix of this one.
Without knowing much about technical analysis yet, I'd say that this book seems to be opening a door to a whole new world for me. As far as the quality of this book goes, it seems to be touching on all kinds of topics that can be further investigated.
If you have an interest in the stock market and want to trade (not invest -- that's different), (and as someone who doesn't know much about it yet), I HIGHLY recommend this book as a starting point.
Book Review: Comprehensive Yet Concise
Summary: 5 Stars
Ms Rockefeller has accomplished a difficult task. Take a broad topic and cover it in a comprehensive and concise manner. The author is a true professional and it shines through out her book from cover to cover. I have a small library of books on technical analysis. However, this is one book I pick up to re-read again and again. She gives a sense of realistic expectations one can rely upon technical analysis for and how to integrate the discipline into one's trading plan. The pros and con's of each aspect of technical analysis is discussed and highlighted. The material flows logically in clear easy to understand manner. This is an indication of an author who truly understands and has practiced the craft and communicates it effectively. I whole heartedly recommend this book.Book Review: Surprisingly comprehensive - I highly recommend for beginners
Summary: 5 Stars
I am not new to investing but am a beginner in day trading, technical analysis and the forex market. Now I've read several books on those subjects. I read Day Trading for Dummies which was OK, basic, and kind of what I expected. TA for Dummies was more than I expected for a Dummies book. It covers loads of the important indicators, is well-written and easy to follow, and offers lots of clear, understandable charts that illustrate the point well. I know these technical indicators are complicated and there is much more to each of them, but I agree with other reviewers - if you are a beginner trying to learn technical analysis, this is an excellent place to start!Book Review: Best Little Guide To Technical Analysis
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
