this book will help you make money.......2007-01-10

This book explains the essential technical patterns that every trader should know. One must read this book very carefully as there are many subtle clues that can be missed.

This book will help you make money. Let me say that there are a lot traders looking for an easy to make money. There is no easy way. There will be times when the patterns in this book don't work. Does that make the book/pattern invalid? No. There is no pattern that will work everytime. You are trading these patterns based on probablities. If these patterns work for you half of the time, you should be in good shape. The rest is money management. That is one area of the book where there isn't enough focus. I would also suggest reading Edwards and Magee along with Murphy.

Technical Analysis as Birdwatching.......2007-01-07

Edwards and Magee wrote the first book on technical analysis over seventy years ago, and since that time Bulkowski appears to be the only person who has ever sat down and tried to systematize and test the hypotheses of technical analysis, and that's to his credit. The problem is that he spends an inordinate amount of time testing and identifying perfectly useless technical formtions that nobody in their right mind would try to trade. Take a look at the chart on page 60, which is a stock in a "broadening top." He lists a buy point at around $10.25 and a sell point about two months later at around $12, after the stock had peaked at $14. That's not a bad return, but take a look at the chart and ask yourself if there's any identifiable reason to buy at $10.25 or sell at $12. The fact that the stock forms a "broadening top" may be interesting in retrospect, but you can't trade stocks in retrospect. Or consider the "diamond" formation, which is treated beginning on page 138. Here is my question: how or why would you trade a diamond pattern? Because the "diamond" is often so large, the resulting "breakout" will often just bump right into the old resistance or support. The fact that it's a "diamond" pattern may be interesting, but identifying the formation alone is not enough. Identifying a pattern and successfully trading it are not the same thing. To be fair to the author, this is not a how-to trading book but a digest of a larger reference work on trading patterns. Even so, it would make sense to focus on tradable patterns instead of providing an exhaustive catalog of every pattern under the sun. The style is also jokey and informal, which just makes it easier for Bulkowksi to avoid the most important question, so what? What good is this information? Is it tradable, and how?

Not the best place to start.......2006-08-06

I don't think this is a good starting book to learn chart patterns. There is a a lot of good information in the book no doubt, but I found it difficult to read, filled with endless stats about how certain patterns perform, etc. I'm giving it one star because the title doesn't deliver. This is not a good book for getting STARTED in chart patterns. For the BEGINNER, I recommend Stikky Stock Charts--it will get you up and running quickly on the basics and then you can move on to this book perhaps.

Something for Everyone.......2006-07-12

"Getting Started in Chart Patterns" is an excellent reference guide and one of the few books on the market which reports the performance of individual chart patterns (based on Tom's extensive testing). Certainly it is a good leader to Tom's mothership book, "Encyclopedia of Chart patterns" and is a bargain at $20 (even more so at the $13 Amazon is offering the book).

One of my pet peeves when I first got interested in Technical Analysis was the cost of many of the books and it was hard to find cheap books which provide a feeler as to what Technical Analysis is all about. Other than the "Encyclopedia" there is no other book out there of its type and is worth having on this merit alone.

The book is not without its faults. First and foremost was the irritating use of "Jake" as the protagonist of the real-world trades offered as examples throughout. The conversational style employed to describe the trades didn't fit with the cold facts offered by the rest of the book and came across as too high school, if the author had stuck to the style of his chapter on "More Trades - Putting it all Together" then this would have been more appropriate. It's a small gripe and others may disagree with me - but the real world trades nicely support the cold statistics on offer for each pattern.

The book has a handy chapter on The Top 10 Performing Bottoms, ranking them from 1-10 including flags, pipe bottoms, rounding bottoms, triangles, wedges, eve-eve double bottoms and the ever popular head-and-shoulder pattern. It would have been good to see the same treatment given to tops (there is a section on tops, but it is more haphazard in its composition), something for the next edition perhaps?

I did like the section on Busted Patterns as well as a cheat sheet index of chart patterns and a table showing a list of chart pattern performance and ranking which can be photocopied and stuck on a wall.

The book is best used as an accompaniment to a more introduction style book on Technical Analysis - it provides the performance data necessary to help develop your own scans for selecting stocks eg. For my own research, when is it important to include volume as a component of a scan.

Again, for the price you can't go wrong.

Thorough and helpful.......2006-03-20

I have been interested in stock market trading for a long time. Mr. Bulkowski is the first author I have encountered who is extremely realistic about the risks involved in trading. He is frank about the reality that you will most likely lose money in trading. I appreciate that honesty. That said, he gives one tools about how to maximize profits and minimize losses, so that one can come out ahead overall.

This is an extremely readable book, artfully crafted with his fictional character to keep the reader engaged while learning important points about trading. This is a very helpful book to one who is beginning, yet is a book for advanced traders to keep close for constant reference. I have read it cover to cover, and still refer to it frequently.

I have found very useful information on Mr. Bulkowski's website, to which another reviewer refers. That review spoke volumes about his website, so there is no need to expound further on it here.

Book Description

Revered by many, reviled by some, technical analysis is the art and science of deciphering price activity to better understand market behavior and identify trading opportunities. In this accessible guide, Jack Schwager-perhaps the most recognized and respected name in the field-demystifies technical analysis for beginning investors, clearly explaining such basics as trends, trading ranges, chart patterns, stops, entry, and exit and pyramiding approaches. The book's numerous examples and clear, simple explanations provide a solid framework for using technical analysis to make better, more informed investment decisions and as the basis for mechanical trading systems. Along with Schwager's invaluable trading rules and market observations culled from years of real-world trading experience, Getting Started in Technical Analysis offers in-depth coverage of:
* Types of charts-bar, close-only, point-and-figure, candlestick.
* Chart patterns-one-day, continuation, top and bottom formations, the importance of failed signals.
* Trading systems-trend-following, counter-trend, pattern recognition.
* Charting and analysis software-price data issues, time frame/trading style considerations, software research.
* he planned trading approach-trading philosophy, choosing markets, risk control strategies, establishing a trading routine.

Customer Reviews:

Great Book. A keeper........2007-05-30

I am still using the glossary to analyze current market situations even after reading the whole thing. I love schwager's books. The people who are disappointed with using TA are looking for the "holy grail system" of trading and are refusing to become better traders. I believe there is no such thing as a holy grail system, and if there is, its being used by institutions that you can't beat. You just need to learn everything. I would definitely recommend using the techniques in this book when checking out stocks and setting price targets planning entries / exits. The book helps you figure out possible risk/reward ratios when entering a trade and where to put your stops. Jack Schwager's books have done nothing but make me money so far and helped me become a better trader. I do realize you can't rely on TA alone to make your trades, but the amount of knowlege he wrote into this in the back of the book/glossary makes it a quick resource. His section on flags and banners is must read. I feel confident I can handle any stock situation, and thats the point of the book. My goal is to beat the market every month. So far I am up 15% this week after reading the book!

Ease of Use.......2007-01-15

The book provides excellent technical analysis information for the selection and monitoring of equities and commodities. It is clear and separates the basics from the more detailed expansion of the analysis concept.

Excellent reading for a newcomer.......2006-04-25

As an experianced trader, I found this book very interesting and gave me a good overview of what technical analysis is. As the title suggests it is for beginners and gave me a good understanding with numerous examples to get the reader to understand the concept on his own. It would have been helpful to have the charts being discussed on the same page. Those expecting a detailed "recipie" on how to trade with technical analysis should not buy this book. As for technical analysis as a tool for trading I have always been a skeptic. This book has not changed my opinon on TA, but the book is an excellent reading.

Good Bargain.......2006-03-19

This book is a skimmed version of the author's more expensive and extensive book "Schwager on Futures, Technical Analysis". Even more, this book is updated? to stock markets. Really a good bargain and should be read even by traders at intermediate level.

Does not get you started in tehnical analysis.......2006-02-13

First of all, the name of this book is misleading - only the first part or about 1/3 of the book is actully about technical analysis. The other 2/3 are about different trading techniques, systems, tips, etc. Second, none of the topics discussed is covered in depth, I always have a feeling after reading a chapter to read a dedicated book on this topic. So I suggest to skip this book altogether and buy a "Bible" by Murthy or Pring which really explains all fine points of TA.

Customer Reviews:

Pick another book to "Get Started with".......2006-06-25

The author Edward Stone did nothing for this book but interview a bunch of different financial consultants then write this book. Shouldn't an author of a book know what he is writing about? Find a book written by a financial consultant. The writing style was incredibly boring and I had a hard time finishing this book. This book did very little to educate me on getting ready to be a financial consultant.

Way outdated.......2006-04-05

I borrowed this book from my local library back in 2001 when I was getting into the financial planning business, and it gave me some basic information. It was easy to read, but I never felt I could trust what the book said, because it all sounded "too easy." But it was an eye-opener, hence the 3 stars.

But, this book is now six years old, so it's of very little value to someone wanting to get started. The only book on this topic that's been updated is Jeffrey Rattiner's "Getting Started" book, but that's more toward starting an FP business. Another expensive book by an author named Nancy something offers too little for the $55 price; besides you cannot trust that book's reviews on Amazon because all the positive ones seemed planted by the same person. So check out Rattiner's book (2005 edition) to see if it's right for you.

Excellent for Newbies.......2003-12-20

As a new person to the world of financial consulting, I was searching for a way to make sense of all the different certifications available, how to go about getting them, which would be the right certification for me, etc. This book gave me 100% of what I was looking for and more. In addition to certification information, the author discusses, in a highly readable manner, other nuts-and-bolts beginner's topics, such as legal/regulatory issues, marketing, and different services one could offer a client. I highly recommend this book to anyone starting out in the field, or to someone just wanting to explore whether financial planning might be for them.

Good stuff but bad writing style.......2003-10-09

Instead of filtering information and writing it appropriately, the author keeps quoting financial planners and their opinions about different topics. These opinions are often not well fundamented, repetitive, biased by self-experience or contradicting each other, in a way that it makes reading very difficult and boaring. It took me weeks to finish the book. It has useful (although basic) information for people thinking of starting in financial planning, but contend could be condensed in 20% of the pages.

Excellent Overview.......2003-04-26

Great overview of the industry and how to enter into the Financial Planning profession. Highly recommended this book for those who want an insight into the job functions and roles of a typical FP.

Don't trip over pennies getting to dollars.......2007-08-11

After attending a workshop with "The Market Guys" in June, I was on the hunt for good info to help me start my expedition of options trading. I was finishing up on "Technical Analysis - Plain and Simple" by Michael Kahn when I came across the "Swing Trading" book. It is a great compliment: easy to read, but hits many key points like "trading against the box" (that I applied in a recent Starbucks' trade in combination with Put options).

The book worked really well for me because it starts off with Support and Resistance, and how to establish trend setup points. I especially like how it emphasizes that traditional investors are missing out on 50% of trading opportunities because they only play up hill.

Surprisingly, the book gives a good intro to Technical Analysis. Like most "Getting Started ..." books, there's a certain amount of general stuff but I found this book to be very useful and has lead to several conversations with my broker.

If you're a beginner like me and are considering options, I'm currently reading "Options Strategies" 6th Printing by Guy Cohen. If you decide to read this book ...
1) Don't try to make sense of the strategy icon system (very confusing)
2) It has a number of typos and missed edits that will throw you off a little
3) Descriptions often don't make sense until you've SEEN the example so
a) review the example first
b) then go back and read the description

PS: Always, do paper trades for at least a week before trading with real money.

Best wishes

Too elementary even for beginners. Not swing trading specific at all.......2007-08-10

If it were not for the very meaningful front cover, I might have just rated this a one star. As a professional trader I can tell the book is too shallow (and in lack of passion, insight and substance from the author) to be of any help at all. Some may argue that I am too demanding to require a book of less than 200 content page to be compleat but I assure you "the market" is a killing field arguably with a casualty rate of over 70% that forgives no mistake nor ignorance. Of course, if you think a lukewarm mix of Candlestick, patterns, FA and options is good enough, please simply neglect this review. Otherwise,..............

p.s. If I had read the backcover which said, "the author has written more than sixty books on investing, real estate, business and management", I would certainly have given this book a pass.

Book Description

Sound, practical guidance for taking control of investment decisions.

Tested by the author in his Paine Webber investment seminars, this accessible guide shows serious investors how to take greater control of their investment decisions by mastering security analysis. Clear, easy-to-follow instructions, examples, and case studies focus on the practical mechanics of such key security analysis topics as fundamental and technical analysis, valuation, portfolio theory, fixed-income analysis, and deciphering financial statements. Special workbook sections offer practice problems.

Very broad; Slightly out-of-focus.......2000-05-11

``Getting Started in Security Analysis'' is definitely worth reading, especially if you are generally new to economics and finance. He covers a broad range of issues: reading a balance sheet; interpreting economic indicators; evaluating debt. All worth knowing, and his mathematics is decent (as long as you stay alert--there are some minor errors).

At the same time, I found the book giving me an off taste. I'm interested in value investing, which looks at stock as a piece of a business, and doesn't care about fluctuating stock prices or predictions of the future. Klein certainly discusses the value of businesses, but he gets into those other things as well. For example, he suggests that predicted future earnings are ``even better'' than past earnings for evaluating a company. Sure, if the prophet Isaiah is making the prediction! Klein seems a little too market focused for me, and it keeps me from enjoying his book as much as I should.

Excellent Introductry book with too many errors.......1999-12-10

Excellent introductry book. However, there are too many errors in this book -- all formulas need to be checked and corrected.

Good way to start.......1999-07-03

The book was pretty basic, and it made me curious to learn more. With the new background, I checked out a few more advanced books, and settled on "Security Analysis on Wall Street," by Jeff Hooke. I trade a fair amount andf I'm starting to do more analysis before buying stocks.

Very dry and uninsightful.......1998-06-17

I found the book to be of little value to the hardcore investor. The subject matter itself could have been handled in a more easily understandable fashion. There seemed to be an aire of condesention throughout the entire work.

Terrific way for amatures to learn the tricks of the trade.......1998-03-30

I read an advanced copy of the book. I could not put it down. The author takes complex subjects and puts them in language that even an amature like me can understand. A must read for any investor, professional or amature!
