Synopsis

Technical analysis is a collection of techniques designed to help you make trading decisions in securities markets.

This new edition provides an updated look at unique formulas and key indicators, as well as refreshed and practical examples that reflect today today's financial atmosphere.

• Determine how markets are performing and make decisions using real data
• Spot investment trends and turning points
• Improve your profits and your portfolio performance

With straightforward coverage of concepts and execution, Technical Analysis For Dummies shows you how to make better trading decisions in no time.
