Synopsis

To invest successfully or trade in Stocks, Options, Forex, or even Mutual Funds, it is imperative to know AND understand price and market movements that can only be learned from Technical Analysis. You should NEVER attempt Trading or Investing without it!My 25 years experience has taught me that 'every book on the market' regarding Charting and Technical Analysis is seemingly worthless. All seem to find yet another creative way to tell you to “Buy Low and Sell High.” And they offer NO in-depth understanding or analysis about WHO is buying and WHO is selling, and when.Point is, anyone, experienced or not, can show you a picture of a Chart and tell you to buy at the bottom and sell at the top. That is simple 'hindsight,' and is always 20/20.This book is different! It is IN-DEPTH – EXPLAINED and you WILL learn price movements and technical analysis from this information!You will understand and recognize tops and bottoms in the market and in particular stocks, AS they are forming. This is highly valuable information, and you should NEVER attempt to trade or invest without this knowledge.Mutual Funds? Most people think they do not need this information because the have a Mutual Fund. That could not be farther from the truth. Investing your hard-earned money should be done with your own knowledge of market direction, when to buy, and when to move your money to safety. Without this knowledge you are at the mercy of a salesperson hungry to earn a commission. Thus, invariably entering the market at the wrong time and in the wrong investment. No one else has your best interest in mind. So learn to protect your money or keep it in the bank. It's that simple. The next move is yours.

About this title

From the Back Cover

It's not necessary to be an expert chartist to benefit from chart analysis. However, chart analysis will go a long way in keeping the trader on the right side of the market and in helping to pinpoint market entry and exit points, which are so vital to trading success. Trading and Investing with the market should always be your ultimate goal.
Whether the participant is a day trader or a long-term investor, buying at the wrong time is most always a recipe for loss. By implementing chart analysis as an investing and trading tool, investing with the market instead of against it can be attained. That is 90% of the battle.

From the Inside Flap

Fire your Financial Advisor!

Yes, that is a bold statement.
The primary objective in this book is to prepare you to take charge of your investment decisions by learning charting and technical analysis in detail. You will no longer be sold an investment at the wrong time, during adverse market conditions, or when the market is topping out and ready to decline. You will only put your money at risk when the odds of a great return are in your favor.

"The cornerstone of the technical philosophy is the belief that all of the factors that influence market price--fundamental information, political events, natural disasters, and psychological factors-- are quickly discounted in market activity."
In other words, the impact of these external factors will quickly show up in some form of price movement, either up or down. Chart analysis, therefore, is simply a short-cut form of fundamental analysis.
As Charles Dow believed, the market discounts everything. All roads of technical analysis inevitably lead back to the Dow Theory. Modern day charting and technical analysis uses the basic foundation of the Dow Theory and encompasses modern charting techniques and strategies to give the investor and trader a distinct advantage.
