Book Reviews of Technical Analysis For Dummies
Book Review: Excellent Starter Book and Reference Guide
Summary: 4 Stars
This book has exactly what I expected and what I was looking for. Although I studied and work in Finance, I have never done any trading beyond the most basic fundamental analysis. I had heard of technical analysis but was completely scared off from learning it by the charts and graphs and technical terms that were really foreign to me. Through much research on my own, I decided that if I ever want to be truly successful in trading that I really needed to get a handle on Technical Analysis, so I bought several dummies books on trading, including this one. I have started to read all of them at once as much of the information overlaps and complements each other, but this is the one I seem to be going back to more and more, and it is the one I am furthest along.
For me, this book has been a source of immense knowledge. I chose this book because I wanted to scratch the surface before jumping in with both feet first. I am completely green and needed a blank canvas approach. I like the Dummies books because they are an easy read, but are written by experts on the subject. This book is no exception. I feel like I am getting a very well-rounded overall understanding of technical analysis without being overly whacked with technical jargon and complicated mathematics.
This has been great because I now have a big picture view of TA. From here, I can really narrow in on specific forms of analysis that I have learned about in this book. I have learned that most traders use 3-5 different analysis techniques out of the dozens or possibly hundreds that are available. This book has allowed me to uncover the 3 or 4 different forms that I am most interested in and would like to read about further. Of course that will require additional book purchases, however, that was the whole purpose of getting this book - was so I could figure out what works for me.
If you're looking to get a big picture overview of technical analysis, as well as get helpful hints and techniques that I see as invaluable insider input, then this is a great book for your collection. And because it is sprnkled with so much helpful information, I'm sure it will be a reference on my shelf that I will refer back to for years to come.
