Product Description
Recommended for professional certification by the Market Technician's Association, this is the Original - and Still Number One - Technical Analysis Answer Book. "Technical Analysis Explained, 4th Edition", is today's best resource for making smarter, more informed investment decisions. This straight-talking guidebook details how individual investors can forecast price movements with the same accuracy as Wall Street's most highly paid professionals, and provides all the information you will need to both understand and implement the time-honored, profit-driven tools of technical analysis.Completely revised and updated for the technologies and trading styles of 21st century markets, it features: technical indicators to predict and profit from regularly occurring market turning points; psychological strategies for intuitively knowing where investors will seek profits - and arriving there first!; and, methods to increase your forecasting accuracy, using today's most advanced trading techniques.Critical acclaim for previous editions include: "One of the best books on technical analysis to come out since Edwards and Magee's classic text in 1948...Belongs on the shelf of every serious trader and technical analyst. " - "Futures". "..."Technical Analysis Explained" [is] widely regarded as the standard work for this generation of chartists." - "Forbes".Traders and investors are creatures of habit who react - and often overreact - in predictable ways to rising or falling stock prices, breaking business news, and cyclical financial reports. Technical analysis is the art of observing how investors have regularly responded to events in the past and using that knowledge to accurately forecast how they will respond in the future. Traders can then take advantage of that knowledge to buy when prices are near their bottoms and sell when prices are close to their highs. Since its original publication in 1980, and through two updated editions, Martin Pring's "Technical Analysis Explained" has showed tens of thousands of investors, including many professionals, how to increase their trading and investing profits by understanding, interpreting, and forecasting movements in markets and individual stocks.Incorporating up-to-the-minute trading tools and technologies with the book's long-successful techniques and strategies, this comprehensively revised fourth edition provides new chapters on: candlesticks and one- and two-bar price reversals, especially valuable for intraday and swing traders; expanded material on momentum - including brand new interpretive techniques from the Directional Movement System and Chaunde Momentum Oscillator to the Relative Momentum Index and the Parabolic; expanded material on volume, with greater emphasis on volume momentum along with new indicators such as the Demand Index and Chaikin Money Flow; relative strength, an increasingly important and until now underappreciated arm of technical analysis; application of technical analysis to contrary opinion theory, expanding the book's coverage of the psychological aspects of trading and investing. Technical analysis is a tool, nothing more, yet few tools carry its potential for dramatically increasing a user's trading success and long-term wealth. Let Martin Pring's landmark "Technical Analysis Explained" provide you with a step-by-step program for incorporating technical analysis into your overall trading strategy and increasing your predictive accuracy and potential profit with every trade you make.

Great Intro to TA for Beginners August 24, 2008
Kevin D. Marler, M.D. (Atlanta, Georgia, United States)
I am writing this review retro as I bought it several years ago, and I think for a very basic, easy to understand approach, it was the best one on the shelf. One, he starts with the most basic idea and progresses to more difficult. Two, it includes a CD with self tests after each chapter. If you cant get the test right, then you didnt get the material so it is a good checkup on your understanding of the material covered. Third, I still find it uncommon to see instructional manuals and the like in audio or video format. I get really tired of reading text all the time. Pring responds in audio after each question and tells you why its right or wrong. Again, what good to know the right answer if you dont understand why its right! This book is a great beginner book for first timers and a step closer to the AV interactive books that are the next technology.
If you believe the markets are Fundamental, Technical, and January 6, 2008
Steve Conner (USA)
Psychological this will be a valuable read. There are some nuggets of wisdom in this book despite the typos. Pring is highly respected in TA.
I am currently studying his TA Explained book to pass the CMT.
I think many investors overlook the benefit of understanding and learning investor and market psychology. To realize that Fundamental, Technical, AND Psychology can have equal footing in investing was a
breakthrough for me.
I enjoyed studying this book along side Reminiscences of a Stock Operator.
Created some of my trading plan based on this book...
Study hard and the market WILL reward.
 A brother of 'Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets' October 24, 2007
Keith J. Chung (Los Angeles)
With John Murphy's book 'Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets', this book should also be studied diligently. This book contain a few technical nuggets which only Martin Pring can offer in depth detail.
Great book, just takes a lot of time to read! July 18, 2007
Joseph R. Hintz (Sterling Heights, MI)
Great book. I got it thinking it'd relate mostly to candle charts. But it covers everything. The book is pretty confusing at first and takes awhile to get used to the author's writing style. He uses words that college business students should understand. It'll take you forever to read, if you want to learn what it has to offer, but it's well worth it. Just google the topics after reviewing to get a full understanding of what Pring offers. Well worth the $10 used price (got lucky!.
a must read for those who try to understand technical analysis May 6, 2007

I have nothing to say more than what I said in the title , this book is essential for learning technical analysis , no wonder why it's included in most of the reading lists of the technical analysis certificates .
