 Excellent Primer May 23, 2010
Scott gru-Bell (Fort Mill, SC, USA)
This book is an excellent primer to technical analysis. Easy to read and complete enough for the average layman, the book's emphasis is on general knowledge, rather than arcane speciality. Those who desire simple ideas on how to make good market decisions should look forward to reading, studying, and applying the principles contained and explained in this textbook. Those, however, who want to master the markets through tachnical analysis, will quickly realize that this book is but the beginning of study, and it must be supplemented with more indepth, though difficult, additional readings.
For what it is, as a primer, Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets is an excellent start to the study.
 Cheaply bound May 14, 2010
Robert Hampton Burt (Planet Earth)
I bought this book some time ago and have used it often. However, it is cheaply bound and will not stand up to frequent use. In this sense it is not suitable for reference. I should think it would be commonly understood that an eighty five dollar book easily justifies a more durable binding. I would say the book is defective in this respect.
 I didn't receive the product March 24, 2010

I strongly recomend not to buy this produc.
It's been 5 weeks since I ordered the product and I haven't received it yet at my postal address.
a very good introductory book to cover the subject broadly. February 15, 2010
Jetendra S. Dublish (USA)
Easy to read. Does not require any special background knowledge to be useful.
Read this as foundation material.

Don't Get Into Day-Trading Without It February 9, 2010
Brian Pollins (Sylva, NC USA)
This is the single best Introduction and Reference to Technical Analysis that I know. No other book I have seen gives such a thorough description of basic concepts, indicators and trading methods. The rookie can use it as an introduction to the field, since it is well-organized and well-written. The veteran can us it as a Reference. I certainly do. And Murphy adds further value by adding his own experiences and opinions from time to time. This book is on the small shelf I keep next to my trading desk, always in easy reach. When I need my memory refreshed as to how a particular indicator is calculated, or what RSI will tell me that MACD won't, Murphy is on hand to sort it out for me.
