Review
"Having observed his market calls real time over the years, I can say that Jason Perl's application of the DeMark indicators distinguishes his work from industry peers when it comes to market timing. This book demonstrates how traders can benefit from his insight, using the studies to identify the exhaustion of established trends or the onset of new ones. Whether you're fundamentally or technically inclined, Perl's DeMark Indicators is an invaluable trading resource." -- Leon G. Cooperman, chairman, Omega Advisors

"Jason Perl has created a trading primer that will help both the professional and the layman interpret the DeMark indicators, which I believe represent the most robust and powerful methods to track securities and establish timely investment positions. Think of DeMark Indicators as the Rosetta stone of market-timing technology." -- John Burbank, founder and CIO, Passport Capital

"Jason Perl has taken the playbook from the market's John Wooden, Tom DeMark, and translated it engagingly in a format that traders of all levels will appreciate. As one who has used these indicators for more than twenty years, I too am appreciative of Jason's clarity." -- Peter Borish, chairman and CEO, Computer Trading Corporation

"Jason Perl is the trader's technician. DeMark indicators are a difficult subject matter, but Jason shows simply how the theory can be applied practically to markets. Whether you're day-trading or taking medium-term positions, using the applications can only be of increased value." -- David Kyte, founder, Kyte Group Limited

"Tom DeMark, the man whose work inspired this book, is a unique, interesting, and ofttimes iconoclastic technical analyst. Simply put, he thinks about the markets differently from the way you or I do. So why should you read this book? Because, having read it, you will almost certainly think about the markets and technical analysis differently." -- John Bollinger, CFA, CMT, www.BollingerBands.com

An Essential Guide to TD Indicators
I've been struggling for weeks now to recreate many of Demark's indicators for the Ninjatrader platform in C# - relying soley on the original explainations in Tom Demark's book. There are a lot of very detailed logic rules for these indicators that , if you blink, you'll miss a step in the procedure. Jason Perl's book is exactly what I have been looking for.
He breaks down each indicator in a top down pseudo code step by step format that makes understanding and code translation a breeze. There are also numerous Q & A's that I found extremely insighful.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Handbook if you subscribe to DeMark's indicators
This is a handbook on the DeMark indicators. The book is useful if you subscribe to the indicators on Bloomberg, etc. You won't find these indicators on Esignal, Tradestation or on free websites.

So does this book contain anything useful for the rest of us? Yes, if you want to program the indicators yourself in whatever system you are using.

And for the rest of us that are not programmers? No. This book is not for us.

However, I would assume these indicators will be available for all systems in a couple of years. So I give the book 3 stars.

I have written several short reviews on trading books. The best way is to compare the score on the books I've read. Many reviews on amazon.com are just glorious 5 star reviews. I use all five categories; sorry but everything isn't "great". Books rated 5 are very good. Books rated 4 are good solid books well worth reading. Books rated 3 can be bought by some people who read a lot or have very specific needs. Books rated 1 or 2 I would not recommend buying or reading. Naturally all in my humble opinion.

Essential Reference
For years I've been trading using Tom DeMark's indicators, I have produced my implementations of TDSequential, TDCombo, TDST ( In QuoteTracker, Worden Blocks e.t.c). It was a very long "trial and errors" process.
DeMark's works have lots of haters who have difficult time to admit that something that "simple" could (if interpreted correctly) produce such steady trading profits in ANY kind of market.
When I saw this book appeared on Amazon - I ordered it right away, just needed to see what it had to offer ( so little info on DeMArk for retail full time traders)
I wish I had that book when I was coding DeMark indicators - it would save me lots of time - this book is a "MUST READ" for anyone who is a serious trader, it sorts and logically arranges what was scattered across the pages of DeMark's own books. THANK YOU!
