Best book I've read in this category. The dvd was a nice bonus with the book. I will be buying more books by Pring.

I couldn't give it 5 stars because I haven't finished the book yet, about 1/2 way through. But if it keeps on track it should be a 5 star book. I've learned quite a few things in the first half of the book. He goes over projecting moves from trend lines, trend angles, validity and exhaustion. Doing the same for rectangles and most of the other patterns. I've skimmed over other parts and he talks about pin bars, which I have to say are one of the more reliable patterns. I would say it's the best book on the subject I've read so far. Although I have encountered a few free sites that are easier to read because they cut out all the fluff and get to the grit of the matter even giving percentage of success etc. However, over all I would rate it as a must read.

This is an extended version of the some parts of the author's book "Technical Analysis Explained", especially the parts on chart patterns. Nothing much added to this subject by thicking those parts of the above book. These parts are better presented (brief and short) in the original source.

I have to say that I am pleased by the information presented in this book, which is organized and presented well. I've read quite a few texts on the subject, by Elder, Tharp, Link, Weinstein, and so on (which are must-reads, by the way), and so this particular text served to complement and enhance the knowledge and skills that I already posessed.

Pring doesn't provide any magic answers here -- and you shouldn't expect any. He simply discusses topics that any aspiring investor/speculator/trader should be intimately familiar with. If you feel you already know everything there is to know about price and volume patterns, trend lines, support/resistance, basic western-style formations, etc..., then this book probably isn't for you. However, if you want to brush up on the subject with a text that presents this information well, then this is not a bad way to go.
