Customer Reviews

A whispy primer
This book (really a pamphlet - only 42 pages) shows examples of basic chart patterns such as trendline breaks, cup and saucer, retracements, gaps, consolidations, etc. The description of each one is very brief. You can usually get the same information for free by attending a charting lecture at your local investment club.

On the other hand, it is brief, concise, and a good primer for someone just beginning to look at the world of technical analysis.

Simple but Sublime
I agree whole-heartedly with the writer above who stated that this book is simple but gets right to the point. These are the basics, of course you want to build on it by reading other books, but you will rarely find this much helpful imforation in so few pages. (While curious about his software (Omni-trader) I don't think I would leave Tradstation for anything else.)I've read hundreds of books on trading and sometimes I have to put everything aside and review the basics and this book is quick at hand. If you master his simple techniques and use good money management you will be a successful trader. I'm sure many traders want to feel what we do is far more sophisticated but it doesn't have to be. That's the point. Don't stray far from the basics taught here.

Don't read too much into the title
This book covers only the basic of basics. It does not even begin to teach you how to recognise the patterns that the author skims over.

Be prepared also to read about the virtues of the trading system that the author is subtly marketing - they are not unique! For the price you pay for this 'brochure', you will gain much more from one of John Murphy's or Vic Sperandeo's books.
